- What good reasons are there to not throttle contributors for their
first 100 edits so that they cannot launch widespread changes? (That is, does anything that people tend to do in their first 100 edits actually require editing more than once a minute?)
None that I can think of. While we're at it, we could disable the "move page" tab for the same period of time. As you(?) mentioned elsewhere, a site like slashdot has a permanent edit throttle, without noticeably dampening user enthusiasm..
As a new user, you might want/need to edit the same page several times in succession to get things right. Any edit count based throttling should take that into account.
