Why does editing my user info require a captcha but spamming /s/whatever with shitposts does not?

Edited

because you leveled up.. also editing user info takes more resources, and you would eventually hit a posts per hour limit

edit: but it should be removed anyway

I can't hit a posts per hour limit if I only post once every 4 months! [insert overused meme here]

Can't hit a post per hour limit if there's not a post per hour limit at all!

I feel like at least one of the admins is a huge liar.

editing user info takes more resources

Citation needed. It's a far less populated table.

It does not take more resources at all.
