Closed Bug in rate limit logic

When I post to Poal.co, about 20%-30% of the time I get an error message of 'dayum, calm down...' When I get this error I always immediately just hit the submit button again because I know that this error is a false positive. When the submit button is clicked a second time it typically goes through.

No @AOU, I am not using a TOR connection or a VPN connection. No there is no other Poal.co traffic coming from my IP address.

And it is this type of dismissiveness and hubris that drive folks away from this site. This is not a shitpost sub. Some of us actually do know what we are talking about

lol and your passive-agressive behavior will get you nowhere.

Hey buddy, you realize I am trying to make Poal a better place right? I'm not passive-agressive. You are hyper-sensitive.

You are hyper-sensitive.

lol Check your other comments. You are the one sitting on your high horse making claims and putting words in people's mouth.

Because the rate-limit happens more often to a couple users, it doesn't mean it's an issue specific to Poal.

The rate-limit has been working perfectly fine for everyone else.
