Rate limiting of solutions and test cases #15

Open jsannemo opened 10 years ago

Currently, one can make as many submissions as they want.

We probably want to use some kind of token system for this instead, to make sure people do not spam the system, where you start with X submission tokens which regenerate over time.

This requires some thought however. Is it fair if a team snipes a lot of solutions, and then cannot submit more test cases even if all their previous ones were successful? Maybe give +X tokens when you defeat a solution.
