Also, I see most of your comments are actually positive karma. So are you being rate limited based on negative karma on just one or a few comments, rather than your net? This seems somewhat wrong.
But I could also see an argument for wanting to limit someone who has something like 1 out of every 10 comments with negative karma; the hit to discourse norms (assuming karma is working as intended and not stealing votes from agree/disagree), might be worth a rate limit for even a 10% rate.
It’s a pity we don’t know the karma scores of their comments before this post was published. For what it’s worth, I only see two of his comments with negative karma this and this. The first one among these two is the one recent comment of Roko I strong-downvoted (though also strong agree-voted), but I might not have done that if I knew that only a few comments with a few negative karma is enough to silence someone.
(People upvoted Roko’s comments after making this post, so presumably he is no longer being rate-limited. I think there were more negative comments a few hours ago)
