Update: I’ve mostly completed a PR that enables rate limited authors to comment on their own posts without (nonstandard) limits. It’s not quite ready to ship tonight.
Meanwhile, reviewing Amelia’s posts in more depth, I’m not actually sure I endorse the rate limit (the message they got was mostly a template-message, not making a strong claim about her content). Meanwhile looking over her comments they seemed mostly fine. I’m revoking the rate limit for now.
I generally want to express/reiterate sadness at the situation where “clearly, most commenters deserve a fair shake, and a reasonably thorough evaluation rather than relying on rough heuristics”. I’m still pretty unsettled on the best way to handle it but most of the options seem Differently Bad.
