# message: you are adding comments too quickly

 * Sometimes when someone tries to add comments to a post on my blog, they get an
   error message that says: “You are adding comments too quickly”
    I have seen that
   message myself at times, though not always. I understand the message when you
   have just added a comment and are trying to add another, but what causes it when
   you are adding the FIRST comment? I have checked all the settings and I can not
   find a reason for this. And it does not always happen.

 * I have just upgraded to 2.8.04 and I still get the same message when adding a
   comment: “You are posting comments too quickly. Slow down.”

 * I am also getting this problem. I am using version 2.8.4. It works fine when 
   I add a comment, but when when of our users tries it, he gets the error message
   when he tries to add a comment. He only tries to add a comments once every few
   days.
