If you type in a comment, and then press enter very quickly in succession, you will produce two comments in succession. I wasn't able to get more than 2, but 2 is fairly easy.

enter image description here

Perhaps the enter button needs to prevent itself from sending for a small duration after the original press. I accidentally managed to do this on mSO earlier. It is fairly easy to reproduce.

  • Wat? I was just about to ask it! It never happened to me earlier, but happened twice today.

  • Wow, they totally removed rate limiting. Now that's a nasty bug. +1 and retracted close vote, sorry!

  • @rene we used to be able to add comment only once in 15 seconds or so with annoying timer reset.

  • @ShadowWizard - To be honest that other one does describe the same behavior. Perhaps something changed server side that allows the behavior again.

  • We recently switched to a different throttling method. Thanks for finding a way to abuse it. :P Err... I mean, disabling accidental double-posting should be easy enough.

  • @AnnaLear - Should I just close this as a duplicate of the other one then?

  • @TravisJ yep but it was marked no-repro already so better report again than try to revive IMO.

    @AnnaLear - Shadow Wizard found a question highlighting the same behavior from a year ago, I missed it in my first search. meta.stackexchange.com/questions/222780/…

    That one's a year old and (probably) a different issue. Just stick with this new report.

  • So the new throttling is 3 comments per 25 seconds, right? Can you please confirm?

    3 per 30 seconds.

  • Thanks, and no throttling/limit on votes, right?
    – Shadow Wizard
    Commented Mar 11, 2015 at 18:38
  • Correct; upvotes, undo upvotes, and delete votes no longer have a throttle, other than their daily limits.

  • Cool! I see edit is still rate limited to 5 seconds, without the annoying timer reset. Awesome!
