Heh, just a timely reminder that just because we got Slashcode functioning over here doesn't mean all of the kinks are worked out, or even that the admins have had a chance to comb through everything.
Sounds like a policy the old site had, at least back when it was on Slashcode. With our userbase though, it'd definitely be nice to see the minimums inflated a bit, as chasing away reasonable traffic isn't something we should be engaged in quite yet if you ask me. Sounds like it just had to do with anti-flood measures that came up at one point or another in the old site's long and varied history.
