* Tie rate limits to both the user's ID and their IP address.
* Make each endpoint have separate rate limits. This means that, for
example, your post edit rate limit is separate from your post vote
rate limit. Before all write actions had a shared rate limit.
* Make all write endpoints have rate limits. Before some endpoints, such
as voting, favoriting, commenting, or forum posting, weren't subject
to rate limits.
* Add stricter rate limits for some endpoints:
** 1 per 5 minutes for creating new accounts.
** 1 per minute for login attempts, changing your email address, or
for creating mod reports.
** 1 per minute for sending dmails, creating comments, creating forum
posts, or creating forum topics.
** 1 per second for voting, favoriting, or disapproving posts.
** These rate limits all have burst factors high enough that they
shouldn't affect normal, non-automated users.
* Raise the default write rate limit for Gold users from 2 per second to
4 per second, for all other actions not listed above.
* Raise the default burst factor to 200 for all other actions not listed
above. Before it was 10 for Members, 30 for Gold, and 60 for Platinum.
