Feb 10, 2016 at 20:46 comment added gnat also related: Why are implementation and debugging questions unwelcome on Programmers.SE?
Oct 18, 2015 at 22:08 comment added RubberDuck Heh... Joel's answer on that Quora is pretty priceless.

question blocked += http://meta.stackexchange.com/a/252645/165773 "for more details on this, see 'When does the question ban get applied?' at MSE"
Dec 16, 2014 at 16:05 comment added gnat @MichaelT one MSE post about this is here: "I just attempted to ask my first question ever..."
Dec 16, 2014 at 15:58 comment added user40980 @PeterMortensen I'd have to dig, but I recall seeing a question on a meta site about a new user being rate limited after the first post because that ip had too many sub 500 rep users who were rate limited in the past period of time. That would also impact the "just get a new email".

Dec 4, 2014 at 16:12 comment added gnat @PeterMortensen Tim Post bragged at MSE that new blocks are designed to make this cheat harder. They maybe succeeded but, unfortunately, this didn't cover another easy cheat, to try their luck at Programmers
Dec 4, 2014 at 15:35 comment added Peter Mortensen They apparently haven't found this cheat on Quora.
Dec 1, 2014 at 23:38 comment added user40980 @YannisRizos it may be somewhat localized to us, but there are other sites that have people trying to get around a restriction on one by posting to another. MathOverflow and Math (and Physics?). There's also likely a ServerFault / SuperUser issue too (though may be less obvious given the size of the sites). Nearly anywhere there is a predefined migration path and question blocks, there is the opportunity for this problem to show up.
Dec 1, 2014 at 16:11 comment added gnat @YannisRizos feature name Oded 24x7 v2.0 :)
Dec 1, 2014 at 16:09 comment added yannis Mod On the other hand, we do have a SE dev that spends copious amounts of time closing crap questions on Programmers. Perhaps Oded will realize that building this for us will save him a lot of time in the long run...
Dec 1, 2014 at 16:07 comment added gnat @YannisRizos I wouldn't be surprised if things turn out that way
Dec 1, 2014 at 15:57 comment added yannis Mod This would be very useful, but I don't think SE is going to spend any dev time on such a localized issue.
