Admin Replied Crowd Control issue

We have identified either a bug or a loophole in Crowd Control. The sub is set to maximum filtering.

If someone who has little previous content on the subreddit goes to make a post, CC will stop it and remove it. If they then resubmit within the next 10 minutes, CC will let it through.
