{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DiscussionForumPosting","headline":"Rate Limit on Mentor Requests","articleBody":"There exists a possibility that someone could put in a ridiculous amount of mentor requests, pinging the same mentors over and over again. Mentors would possibly then be encouraged to just mute the #mentors-internal channel, which would stop legitimate mentor requests from being answered in a timely fashion.\r\n\r\nA rate limit should exist so that a given user can only put in a limited amount of mentor requests in a given time period. 3x per month was suggested, so let's start with that and see how it goes.\r\n\r\nAcceptance criteria:\r\n\r\nWhen attempting to put in too many mentor requests in a month, the user should see a message from slackbot informing them that they've put in as many mentor requests as allowed until the time when they'll be allowed to put it in again. For example:\r\n\r\n```\r\nError: you have put in too many mentor requests. You will be allowed to submit another mentor request on June 15, 2020\r\n```\r\nThe above message would be if the first of 3 mentor requests was put in on May 15, 2020.","author":{"url":"https://github.com/aaron-junot","@type":"Person","name":"aaron-junot"},"datePublished":"2020-05-27T01:36:48.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":13},"url":"https://github.com/176/operationcode-pybot/issues/176"}
