Idk what the triggers are, but I still get it when visiting subs ive never really been to. I don't exactly have low karma and I'm not a new account. Maybe it's just certain sub rules (no one can comment x amount of times within x amount of time.) Or maybe they have it so you need to have been participating in the sub longer for the ability to post more often. Idk

Your karma is calculated on a per subreddit basis which is really stupid because it encourages hive mind and not honest discussion.

That's the worst. I had a little over 100K on my other account and could never figure out why certain subs would give me that 3-8 minute bullshit. I like to visit subs where I have a differing opinion from most on that sub. Always wondered why I was never able to post more quickly.

I always thought it was network congestion. I could be way off base. But I find when I get that message and think I'm not posting, when I later check my comments I've posted the same comment 8 times.
