--- Comment #4 from Nemo <[email protected]> --- More on the rationale: as far as I know, thanks also trigger an email notification by default; hence, the rate limiting for them should equal the rate limiting for emails, for the same reasons. Among other risks, let me mention that sending too many thanks email notifications (which by definition are unsolicited) will get many users e.g. in Gmail mark them as spam, which in turn will send legitimate notifications to the spam folders and trash the whole notification system (bug 52915). So, let's please be careful. Romaine, rate limiting is not magic, it's a harm reduction system. Someone who does thousands of edits a day is 99 % of the cases either a bot or a sysop, so rate limits don't apply. I'll file another bug shortly to address your concern. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
