The 20 Second Comment Limiter Needs Reworking... From a Developer / User Perspective
The comment limiter, bane of my existence
The 20 second forced delay has a very real impact not only on users wishing to respond efficiently to their comments but also severely limits network wide services that I'm currently developing. Imagine trying to serve a few hundred requests an hour while having a 20 second delay on all queued input & responses. Simply put it's not conducive to developers nor their services to impose such a delay on the services offered. |
On the user side of things one must realize that although reddit.com does in fact limit the rate at which a user can comment on posts it's not something that needs to exists. The need to limit new users comments to reduce spam is something I see a use for, however the way the current system is set up simply will not work for the mainstream as no one wants to wait to put their word in.
Proposed Idea to Fix This:
Truth be told I'm entirely unsure if the 20 second limit is imposed on the STEEM blockchain itself or on the front end of Steemit.com. Either way if some form of protection as I've mentioned above can be implemented it would certainly help those wishing to reply in a timely manner or run STEEM network services to properly run as they intend to.

This is funny, I just cursed at the screen for this, and your post was the next one that I saw. haha
Wait....Were you Nostradamus in your past life?!
Possibly, All I remember from my past life is... Uhh. well.. Nothing actually. 0_0
Well I guess that would make sense...
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20
<ENTER>Aye. For a user not a big deal.. But for a service bot.. A huge deal. :D
this --- like if ... umm.. someone was trying to figure out how to have a steem-based poker system, this would really fuck with the dealers ability to do its work.
A workaround is to just use multiple bot accounts, and have them switch off. So like, if you need to comment every second, just use 20bots to do it, and have them take turns.
That said, isnt this scheduled to go away in HF17?
also also -- its blockchain based. Any message you see in red at the bottom is based on a blockchain response, iiuc.
It annoys me too when I am trying to blast through some replies. Get it gone, I agree!!!
As someone who makes an honest effort to reply to most comments I receive... yeah. Pain in the ASS!
I agree, it is annoying!
Bottlenecks should be in place to curb bot abuse.. But for aged obviously human or service accounts.. should be some way to allow us to reply faster you'd hope.. :S
Good Luck ! Have you found a new place yet !? Im missing alot of posts when I sleep ! Lol !👍😂😊
Still working on it. :/
I haven't been super active on posting the past few days.
How is the new work? Still on it?
Interesting, I had no idea that Steemit has a comment rate limiter. Probably because I'm not a program and could never type quality comments fast enough to run afoul of it. But I can see how it could be an annoyance to service developers. Seems like a well intentioned safeguards though.
The meaning behind it makes full sense to me.. However as a code monkey building services on the STEEM network I notice the bottleneck.. It's there sadly and innocent users / bots might be smoked by it.

That's a great idea. Sometimes, I am also in a deep pain in having to wait... ;)
Even with that limit a bot can dump 86400 posts/day... zombienet it by a few hundreds... and the limit is just a worthless piece of S**t
