oh it's worse now - if you get some number of downvotes, you get 9 minute timeouts between posts.


HN does something similar, though I don't know the metrics, and it's more of a "you're allowed one post every 20 minutes on a 60 minutes rolling window".


that has to be one of the worst features I've ever encountered.. truly despicable


Worse than your post becoming illegible due to css changes?


lol... close call, I hate both.


HN has the same feature, except its like 2 hours


HN has it worse. You do not have even to be downoted to get "you are posting too fast" message. Not the most stupid thing on HN, but close.
