"New accounts" Post limit

[Gerkargeo]

This is the dumbest thing I have ever heard of! I have been on many forums, granted not MMOs, but I have never seen a restriction on the number of post per day and time limit. What if a person is actively trying to help others solve a problem or give guidance because the devs are not available readily? I have to waste one of my 3 post to tell them to post it in one of the forums that don't have a restriction so that I can talk to them. Really? You know then, if you want to put these restriction, create a chat room or something where people can talk, yes casually. Or create a forum called Off topic like most other forums do. I don't think server congestion or storage is the reason for a game developer such as SE. They are a million dollar (probably billion dollar) industry and could easily afford the hardware, software and bandwidth. If they were a site like xda forums that is comprised of freelance developers devoting their time, then I could understand. But you are a getting money from subscriptions and sales so I don't get it. Want a cleaner forum? Hire moderators that their sole job all day is moderate the forums...like most other forums do. Don't make devs cleanup, I know I would hate to do that when I could be developing something useful.

I can see why FFXIV realm and zam will be better sites

I wouldn't even mind if they implemented the time limit for new players...but 3 posts a day in General forums is kind of ridiculous.

Yeah, it appears to be the General discussion board only, or maybe it's each category gets 3 or 4?

lol, like I was saying early everyone will start to realize this and flood tech forums...Now everybody is doing just that.
