Also a big fan, it is my favorite and only third space. I believe they are fine as is, as someone who has had comment throttling applied, and is not given vouch. Their sandbox, their rules. You can always email to appeal and plead your case. Otherwise, you're giving away trust and safety signal to potential threat actors and people acting in bad faith.

You will either change your behavior improving collective discourse and have privileges restored, not, or learn to operate within the constraints applied without changing (throttled comment posting, etc).

in your case was the throttle cleared without intervention?

I'm not questioning the guidelines, fwiw. It's more about the transparency and making sure people remain engaged.
