Why can I only answer once every 30 minutes?

Users with less than 125 reputation on the site must wait between posting answers. We slow down new user contributions in order to ensure the integrity of the site and that users take the time they need to craft a good answer.

This waiting period is currently set at 30 minutes because of the influx of GPT-generated answers that have caused information that is objectively wrong to make its way onto the site.
