"You need to wait X between posts" - Slow mode explained

yeah I understand, it’s not too hard to see what you are trying to do here, but I think that harshly limiting people’s ability to respond to such a degree will only prolong the disagreement or bad feelings. Sweeping things under the rug rarely works well. I have seen disputes resolved here without any moderators stepping in - you should give the users a little credit themselves for being able to quell any misunderstandings rather than throttle the response time so much. 4 hours seems extremely excessive and heavy-handed.
