Every single day, inbox flooded with the same complaint: "Your app's too strict. I keep hitting rate limits and getting locked out."

So I pull up their account history. Turns out they're running automation—blasting out "good morning" and "yeah, totally" replies across thousands of posts like clockwork. Clearly botting it.

Fast forward two weeks: "Why am I banned?"

Here's the thing—those rate limits? They exist for a reason. They're not there to frustrate legit users. They're the difference between a healthy ecosystem and getting overrun by spam and manipulation.

Haha, got caught, huh? Luckily, I didn't do such a thing.

Haha, this is the typical "I didn't violate any rules" syndrome, secretly spamming with bots and then feeling wronged.

Haha, alright, in an era of chaos and madness, finally someone is telling the truth. --- Basically, it's just shooting oneself in the foot and blaming the platform for being too strict. --- Rate limit stuff is indeed annoying, but it's really not without reason... --- It's always like this—causing trouble first and then pretending to be the victim? I'm speechless. --- So basically, it's just about trying to exploit the system and getting caught. --- I've seen this kind of thing many times; genuine users would never step into the line of fire.

Ha, it's the same old story. Automated spamming and blaming the platform for 😅. --- That's right, if there were no restrictions, it would have been compromised long ago. --- I just want to know what these people are thinking. Copy-pasting every day and still think they're normal users? --- Rate limit is a bit harsh, that's true, but nine out of ten bans are well-deserved. --- That's why I prefer to post slowly rather than touch that automation stuff. --- The ecosystem needs someone to maintain it; otherwise, what's the point of a full screen of bots? --- Every time I check account history, I can tell who is truly botting and who is just pretending to be innocent.

Haha, you’re busy bot-spamming and then blaming the platform for strictness. That logic is just perfect. --- Basically, you want to do mass messaging, get caught, and still cry foul. Laughable. --- Rate limit is just to prevent players like you, a healthy community vs spam, which one do you choose? --- Every day with these complaints... just admit you’re a real user, I don’t buy it. --- Bots spamming really drives me crazy, rate limit 👍 --- Using automation tools yourself and feeling wronged, truly self-inflicted. --- Who do you blame for being banned? Didn’t you think before you kept shouting "Good grief"? --- That’s just how the ecosystem is. If you want a good environment, you have to accept some thresholds. So what? --- Every day cursing the strict system, 90% of you are cheating. --- Spam advertising bots should be banned, there’s nothing more to say.

Haha, I just want to say, the group of people who keep shouting that the restrictions are too strict are actually just automating spamming... and they come back crying after being banned.
