Incentive to post as many neutral comments as permitted by the rate limit, to get it lifted faster. Not sure what to do about this, but might be an issue.
Yeah I did notice this. I think basically if it turns out to be a problem we’ll figure out a more robust solution but not worry about it before then.
(We do have the power to also just give out arbitrary rate limits based on moderator discretion anyway, and if it looks like someone is just trying to game the system we will probably just give them a more severe rate limit. So, uh, aspiring rate limit munchkins, please do not get too excited about being clever here)
That makes sense to me. A lot of theoretical problems never actually materialize. I think it’s unlikely that it becomes a problem and if it did it wouldn’t be severe.
