I think it is like 5 comments in the same hour and then you have to observe for the next 3 hours (or something like that, I don’t know exactly).

I love this feature. I’m of a personality which really easily gets baited into flamewars (which is against the guidelines). Being forced to stop after 5 posts forces me into a cooldown period where I can reflect on my behavior. When the shutdown is over I will probably be demotivated enough to continue this recklessness and the probability of me being yelled at by dang goes down with it.

If I have something important to say, it can wait a couple of hours.
