I haven't seen that much since the emoji reaction +1 feature was introduced. I use the latter a lot though.

The +1 reaction has helped a lot but I still useless +1 / -1 notification spam pretty regularly from people who haven't gotten the message.

Github could add an option for "pre-receive webhooks" for comments. Push them to a moderator HTTP bot that returns accept/reject.

I've also thought it'd be nice to have a way for repo members to quickly send a warning to someone without spamming the thread. In this case, it'd be nice to have a way to put a specific person into a cool down period.

Not sure if you're referring to it but they announced (roughly) the feature you described yesterday.

Introducing temporary interaction limits - https://github.com/blog/2370-introducing-temporary-interacti...

That was what started this conversation but the feature announced doesn't appear to have the specific user cool-down I was hoping for.

"people who haven't gotten the message"

You cannot add emoji reaction from mobile version of Github website.

That sounds like a good issue to open with GitHub.

I've been using request desktop site to vote in Mobile Safari, but it is one extra thing to do.
