I created a new account to reply to this interesting post, but for some reason it was throttled instantly.

I assure you that my comments are always thoughtful and respectful, even when replying to a flame.

Seems like the mods just revealed that they can watch people type in real time :)

I'd say it's more likely that they are watching new accounts that come from the same IP address as old accounts that they already throttled. They could do that automatically.

If you feel that this was unjustly done, you can shoot deng an email.

The second one created from the same IP worked, so that does not seem to explain it. I think it's unlikely that deng would find the punishment problematic.
