Please don't overestimate the amplitude of said 'nationalistic flamebait'. I have felt this way about your 'feedback' before.

Note: The rate limiting you have imposed on my user meant that I had to wait several hours to post this reply.

Sorry, but that's like responding to "please don't drop a lit match in a dry forest" with "but it was just a little match".

We rate limit accounts when they post too many low-quality comments and/or get involved in flamewars. Unfortunately your account has a history of doing that, so we've rate limited it. If you build up a track record of using HN as intended, you'd be welcome to email [email protected] and we'll be happy to take a look and hopefully remove the rate limit.

Testing if I can reply. Content to be added.

That's good, but following the rules most of the time doesn't make it ok to break them the rest of the time. We have to moderate based on the worst things people post, not the best things.

Do you though? Shouldn't it be a balance?

I'm still not exactly sure why I can only post about 5 comments/24h.

You got a reply.
