While you are there, go through dang’s comments timeline https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=dang

Moderating something like HN is a very hard job. Gratitude .

I understand why but I don’t like how people are individually rate limited silently without their knowledge. It is certainly immoral

EDIT: unfortunately I cannot defend my point in the comments, as I am now rate limited :)

EDIT 2: /u/Dylan16807 yes I'm seeing that. When I try and post it says "you are posting too quickly, please slow down"

All comments get rate limited as they start to nest, by hiding the reply link. Are you seeing that?

>>Dylan1+Vx
There's also an (account-specific) "You're posting too quickly. Please Slow Down. Thanks" that specific users get if they have a flag set on their account.

So it's just for specific users that are manually targeted by dang? With zero transparency and accountability I'd say it's pretty awful.

It's for specific users that the moderator of the site has decided could stand to have their bandwidth throttled to improve the site for everyone. I don't see anything awful about it; the accountability is whether we keep showing up to use the site. Regarding transparency, dang generally comments on a thread when they need a community member to review the rules and obey them, and the rules are public.

>>shadow+v23
Nope, I got throttled and never learned why. It's dang's empire here.
