--- Comment #11 from Steven Walling <[email protected]> --- (In reply to comment #9) > I'm confused. Aren't thanks are already ratelimited? If thank nuking is a > thing, it's not something I've seen (other than the one example above). Yes. According to the docs, no one can thank more than 10 users/minute. Personally I think the arbitrary limit of 5 or 20 thanks a day is an unnecessary addition. Unlike email, for which there is a very very high potential for spam and trolling, thanks are a standardized action which has comparatively little potential for negative/abusive use. I think *if* it seems clear the tool is being used at too great a volume by new people, then we should strongly consider making the current rate limit more strict. But there's no reason to add additional limits or micmic the email feature's rate limit, considering how different the feature is. There is similarly no technically-enforced rate limit on how many edits you can revert as a new person, and communities deal with it just fine by imposing looser social limits. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
