Would it be possible to remove this restrictions from a subs mods and owners?
On the contrary, that's the exact reason why it's been recently added, to prevent anyone from flooding specific sub(s) in the new queue.
It was just an idea and you would know better than I but I could imagine that most users here don't run in /new/ but in /hot/ and wouldn't really care. But as @anticlutch was told in his very similar question from 2 days ago some guys (I'm looking at you @wolfgang) just want to fuck things up for everybody else.
Could you at least make the cool down period a bit shorter?

/all/new is actually the most visited endpoint.

TBH 5 minutes is already short enough. It's fair for anyone who wants to share something and don't want to see their new post pushed down the new queue by someone else flooding multiple posts from the same sub.
Sliding has been used in news aggregators to turn users away from posting (faggit shills have mastered that technique) and that's exactly what is killing participation.
What is sliding?
