Forum Onboarding Flow Rate Limited

Hello, I have just signed up for a webflow forum account which got approved over the weekend, and I was going through the introductory flow with discobot, but at the point it asked me to reply with an image, I got this error:

I can wait 23 hours, but I don’t think I should be hitting this when I haven’t done anything other than follow the discobot’s instructions.

Hey Devon,

Free public forums generally have “trust systems” in place to deter spammers from making the forum unusable. WF’s forum was hit with a few thousand spam messages this year so it’s a necessity.

It would be nice if it had a linked-account feature, so that your forum account could be 1:1 connected to a Webflow system account. That way paying users could be identified and unrestricted, which is another reasonably effective way to deter spammers.
