As someone who mostly lurks, I liked the change, because I felt like it helped to cut down on the white noise and encouraged people to put some thought into their posts. I might actually start following USPol again—right now I just follow Poliwonks because its signal-to-noise ratio is so much higher. Five minutes would probably be better than ten, but ten was fine if five is infeasible. I'm fine with running out of posts to read, so long as the posts that I did read were interesting and informative. For what it's worth, I'd also like to see escalating punishments for people who repeatedly break the rules. A sixer is useful as a warning / enforced cool-down period, but if a poster is eating multiple sixers per week without improvement then I think it's clear that more is needed to encourage the user to change their posting, or failing that, to limit the amount that they can post. E: I didn't notice much change in the Poliwonks or SCOTUS threads, so it's probably unnecessary for those threads since they already have a culture of people putting more effort into posts.
