Topic on Help talk:OAuth

Hi,

I plan to show how to use mix'n'match to a group of newbies and I want to know if there's restrictions for using OAuth for new accounts (like "only autoconfirmed shall pass").

There are no restrictions to users (see that — new acc, no edits, no flags), but developers of tools might add any restrictions in own source code. Sorry for my English.

There might be unintentional limitations coming from the fact that requests through that tool all use the same IP. So if something has an IP-level rate limit for non-autoconfirmed accounts (and several things do, e.g. 8 edits per minute), that will apply. Although for an IRL presentation with everyone using the same internet connection, such limitations would apply to non-OAuth actions as well.

@Magnus Manske: Do it is the case with mix'n'match ?
