I believe this is actually calculated using the date of the submission they have posted / commented on, instead of the current date. I've seen posts from 2010 where some people's comments have green usernames.
There are other behaviors I've observed but haven't confirmed. For example, highly controversial comments seem to sometimes be manually set to a point value of 1, even when they have dozens of replies making the real vote tally very unlikely to center on 1.
It's a problem that you get the "posting too fast" error only after you have typed a comment. Maybe a long and well thought-out one that took a lot of time and effort.
I've had cases where I've saved the comment in a .txt and gone back to post it later, but of course the discussion will have moved on.
I think the site should not even let you start typing if you are going to get the "posting too fast" error.

As well as a discussion about "You're posting too fast."

Is this an undocumented feature? Do the mods just turn the OP's first comment into text manually?
I personally use #3882cc. Played around with lots of different colours and that's the one I ended up on. After finding [0] not too long ago, I tried some other colours and ended up going back to this one. They just looked alien to me since I've had this one for what feels like forever.
Ouch. Any readers have favorite HN-like forums where this doesn't happen?
If there's a place on the internet where people can discuss all topics without it turning into a flamewar, or a series of people just saying things near each other without actually discussing anything, I would like to go there instead of HN. But those places are increasingly rare on the open web!
It’s that they are against the insincere and awkwardly forced pushes for diversity and inclusion by companies. Forcing behaviors and pushing insincerity leads to noncompliance and resentment.
The best type of diversity is, and always will be, organic.
