This is great, it forces new players to actually use the search function and read instead of posting the same threads all day long.

Ridiculous post-cooldown, asinine restrictions (minimum number of posts/levels before removing all limits would have been plenty), 1000 characters max-post-size...
I'll just not post valuable information and feedback/suggestions here if I ever have any.
Sub-only forums with actually active mods are the way to go- this is not, imo.

That's what moderators are for.
Did you see ANY of that in the beta forum, SE was communicating well enough. Don't try to push the problem back to SE when the reason here is the noisy minority that thought that spamming the general forum was a good idea. As well i see some have not read the full dev post.

I think these rules are pretty much perfect. It's hard to sort through all the trash posts with so many people making random threads that serve zero purpose, and those same threads being bumped to the top because there is no restriction on posts. Some people tend to make a habit of carrying on long conversations on the forums that have little if any relation to the thread topic.
It's about time they did this! Looking forward to more constructive threads and comments and less using the forums as a personal blog/messenger.
