Can we get rid of the daily post limit?

[Kaedan]

Agreed. Post limit needs to go.

As for the 1,000 character limit... All you have to do is edit your post to get more, so it's not that big a deal to me.

Exactly, it's easy to circumvent, so everyone is circumventing it = it's completely useless and just an annoyance.

[Fyce]

The 1,000 character limit is useless, yes.

But the 20 posts per day? I don't know... I find it quite useful actually. If someone can't make its point in 20 posts in a day, then it means that person failed at arguing and should probably stop writing for the day.
It's a forum, not an irc channel.

The case where someone wants to participate a lot in various subjects and subforums is quite low... or that person likes to get involved in everything for no reason.

So, yeah.... even if there are downsides to it, I quite like the upsides of that daily limit.

[sirDarts]

*snip*

So make it a limit of 20 per day per thread!

I easily answer 10+ threads in a day, each about a different topic, so it's NOT about making a point and arguing.

And I CAN'T! I get cut off. There are ZERO upsides to a daily limit, and a bunch of downsides = it's stupid.

Quit lying.
You only hit the daily limit once, and it was during a very active time where people were speaking about the early access codes and all that mess. Most of these messages were one to three sentence long only.

Check your message history and you'll see that, on average, you clearly don't answer "10+ threads in a day" in different threads.
Simple maths with your post count and your date of arrival on the forums also shows that.

So, please, don't overdramatize that "issue" you don't even have on a regular basis.

Lying? I am not.
And no, I have not hit the limit once, I have hit it 3 times, last time yesterday. And will likely hit it today soon...

And I have NEVER said I answer 10+ threads on average. I am not here every day... But when I am here, I answer many threads. The thing is, I would love to answer more, but I CAN'T because I will get hit by the post limit.


It doesn't matter that I don't hit this limitation on a regular basis, it's still:
1) Annoying.
2) Useless.
3) Limiting the amount of threads I can participate in.
4) Did I say useless?

[Fyce]

1) Annoying.

For a (too) vocal minority only.

2) Useless.

Keeps spamers and trolls away from flooding the board, as well as make people stop thinking that a sentence per post is a good anwser (again, this is not an irc chat).

3) Limiting the amount of threads I can participate in.

The threads you wanted to be in so bad will still be here tomorrow, you know? Is it so hard to pick a few points of interest per day to the point where you absolutly need to participate in everything?

4) Did I say useless?

Yes you did, and I already told you at least one use for it. If you want, I can find another reason: it decreases dramatically the overall number of posts per day on the forums, making moderation way easier.

Speaking of moderation, I'm pretty sure that the people who went for the daily post limit had some good reasonning behind it and are not as stupid as you think they are.
You should probably ask them. (But you're not the first person to ask for that, and you'll probably won't be the last.)

Keep calling it useless if you want, but I just found at least to uses for it.
As for if they are good uses or not is only a subjective matter. For you, who seem to be liking getting involved in everything and posting some two sentences messages frequently, I'll make the assumption that theses uses cannot justify how annoyed you are (that was an easy assumption , I'll give you that), and you'll probably use another post from your daily limit to prove me how wrong I am.

[Kallera]

I doubt they'll lift it, in loving memory of NA forums' penchant for spamming topics.

[Kayote]

lol, GL with this thread. Players have been complaining about this since day 1. Back then most were <50 so the post limit was even more ridiculous.

If SE isnt restricting the hell out of something ...... its just not SE.

Honestly, im surprised they dont already have a monthly cash shop upgrade to post limits...

If we stop complaining, SE might think we are happy with how the things are. That shall not happen! Not on my watch!







For the watch...



EDIT: Oh hey! I have reached my daily limit! What a surprise!

I would say get rid of the character limit, since it does nothing in the wake of the workaround of editing posts.

Post limits feel like they are needed, it got pretty bad before it was brought in.

That's just lack of moderation...

I was gonna make a long and argumented answer to your post, responding to every paragraph you wrote. But then I came to that particular one.

This last paragraph confirm what I though: you don't care about flood and moderation and you don't think that's required to have a healthy environment. Using one of the most toxic community in games as a "proof" just confirmed that. You are not on the LoL forums.
You also don't even know what you post yourself (see your paragraph about short sentences, when your posts history is full of that) and want your unlimited posts so hard that you fail to see the obvious upsides of control methods in a forum.

You just want your thing. You don't care about anything else.

I'm done. I'm so done. I can't argue with entitled people who only want to see their own benefits, even if you throw logical elements and facts for them to understand. You even contradict yourself in only 8 words: "It is useless. You found one debatable use" -> If someone can find a use for something, then it's not useless.
... And you are the one who says "LOGIC PLS!". Damnit.

Whatever.
As I and other said, you're not the first one to come for that, and you won't be the last. (Hint: it means that you're burning your today's daily post for nothing. Besides, yes, this is "General discussion", not "Webside feedback & suggestions".)

I DO care about having a healthy environment, but a dead environment is NOT healthy.

Also just because the general LoL community is toxic doesn't mean the forums are (or were, I have not been there for over a year).
Anyways what the toxicity of their community has to do with this?
Oh... Right... Absolutely nothing.

And yes, of course I do write short posts, I have explained why - if it's not absolutely necessary, I won't waste my time circumventing the character limit...

Also I am not completely against some sort of limit. 20 per day though? That's an overkill and a half. Make it 20 per hour, or 20 per 4 hours, or something like that. Still hurts spammers, but doesn't hurt normal people.

One debatable use still makes it useless for those who don't agree with that use. Easy as that, really.


Other forums outside of GD are mostly dead, people won't waste their limits there, if you want something to be seen by many, you post in GD...
