This seems to be incorrect. I just tried multiple consecutive posts [in this thread here](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/test-thread/918131/33) and was locked out after the third post.

Upon attempting the fourth consecutive posts, I am not able to post it. The warning box about it does not have any kind of “post it anyway” button. Just an “OK” button which doesn’t post it.

ETA: Now waitaminnit. I just tried to make a fourth post, with a very different result. See next post for details.
