I have certainly been a culprit of the rapid posting. There are various reasons that it happens and I am not personally a fan of a rate limit.
TBH, I'm not really a fan either (I'm a human, not a ventilator). As with many technical measures, I don't really think it would work that well to limit what I see as abuses -- there are cases where someone might rapid-post without it being that much of an issue, and fewer but longer shit posts wouldn't be much better (what matters to me when reading a thread is the space on screen taken by posts, not whether that space is used by N or 2xN posts). Still, I am of the school of throwing ideas, even those I don't believe in, just to see if they bring a new light to an issue.
I try and keep edits to only typos and clarification, so I will often rapid fire post as I think of something else that I should of said in the previous post/posts. Sure, I could stop and think for a second before I post, but that would slow down the
I guess that's part of the question, how much do we want to keep? My opinion is that, unless it's a discussion I'm actively involved in (and even then...), just annoys me, irregardless of whether I agree with it or not. But then again, that's just my view of the garage and clearly not the same for everyone (judging from this thread and others), and I can always ignore stuff (which is what I do, skipping most "discussions").
Rapid posting only bothers me when it's done with giant walls of replies. It makes it a bit easy to get lost!
Edit: But overall I don't see it as much of a problem.
