Since when is saging considered flooding?

The spammers and trolls are taking over /s/ as of late and I can't sage more than once every 5 minutes.  What the fuck?  The text body is different, so why is it being detected as a flood?

The new limits:

text only post: 1/2 a minute
image post: 1 minute
thread post: 5 minutes
sage post: 10 minutes

The trolls are loving it/don't care.  They set the bot and walk away.  I want to choke someone over this bullshit.
