No, the feature is a good idea and it's been suggested before. It doesn't exist yet, though.
Thanks for the info jefft. Have there been any thoughts to a publicly viewable feature request list (and allow adding of new ones)? Would prevent repeated posts of previous suggestions and losing them when wanted.
Another idea after that one is to give each user a certain number of points per year to vote on the one(s) they want most? Would help internal planning on what things to add next when ready to consider user input.

No, that feature doesn't exist. If it did, you would be able to hammer the servers faster.
and the server could handle them faster as this change would cut in half for the server the number of requests to process and responses to send! Besides the "not the best" usability of it as it is today, the server initiating to process a request has overhead (not necessarily huge, but some), which consumes resources - resources that could be better spent processing spam reports instead. Reducing the request/response count helps improve the system's capability to handle larger loads.
Another way to say it is crippling usability is not a proper solution to throttle server loads.
