    I hated that option on Voat. It's not welcoming of new users.

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.

    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.

Isn't Reddit's delay only 8 minutes? Does it really make that much of a difference?
