I hated that option on Voat. It's not welcoming of new users. I guess mk and tng dont really care about having many users. But not allowing full access to the site from the get go, and limiting the need to share and comment, make a bad first impression. So far the best option seems to come from Reddit: A delay of a few minute (it must be variable) between interaction. For human it is bearable, for bots, they're probably thrown in a frantic pattern, where they cannot post, nor find the right delay.
Yeah. I can see where it'd be a bit frustrating for new users. On the other hand though, it might give them time to get adjust, get their sea legs so to speak. Isn't Reddit's delay only 8 minutes? Does it really make that much of a difference?I hated that option on Voat. It's not welcoming of new users.
