Hey, @jacobtothe.

I am hoping that the fact that legitimate users with low SP can't do much because of the RC limits now placed upon them that spammers would find themselves in similar circumstances—unable to do a whole lot. Otherwise, making the real user suffer would be completely and utterly in vain. That's not to say it's a great trade off—it's not. It would be better if there were a way to differentiate between spammers and regular users, so that the former got hit with the RC issues while the latter was able to carry on. That, however, is not the way it works, and from what I can tell it won't ever.
