for abolishing it altogether. We already have rules against the edit milking/badge hunting, right? I think that if a user comments repeatedly for the purpose of that (should it be determined, it should be a case-by-case thing) they should be banned. I don't think the three-comment limit did much, considering it WAS supposed to be for needless comments, it's extended to banning those leaving productive comments that broke the limit we imposed.

We should remove the limit but continue to ban users who post unproductively in the comments--and it should be determined by admins if the comments are unproductive and worthy of a ban; the numerical limit is ineffective because it's not like the user is auto-banned when they go over it.
