The whole random time-based temporary bans cloaked as "posting too fast" is pretty screwed up. It's unclear what the restrictions are (as dang himself has told me) and you don't get the warning until _after_ you try to post once you've past the limit.
But yes I do agree with you that dang is kind of unusually responsive when you question him on his decisions. That, however, doesn't mean you'll find his reasoning all that compelling. Regardless, he runs the forum so he gets to censor it as he wishes.
That's what he did? From gp's post:
> EDIT: @DANG - im tired of this fn "posting too fast" -- it stiffles intereaction.
> I dont participate in Reddit any longer, but seriously - ive talked to you about this many times....
