[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] Rate-limit on (anonymous) notes? (Issue #4376)

[Tom Hughes]

I wasn't aware when I initially replied that the community thread had already misled people by suggesting there were rate limits.

In general the whole thread is something of an overreaction to one incident that was almost certainly not deliberate and was stopped (by me) after a few hours - as should be fairly obvious from the list that was posted in the thread what likely happened was that some idiot "security researcher" ran a script that was trying injection attacks and they ended up generating lots of notes containing fragments of those attempts precisely because we did not fall victim and correctly escaped them all.
