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?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.
Yes, only to a small vocal minority, but it does NOT help anyone else. So why hurt some people while not helping others?

Trolls will always be there.
Spammers can easily get banned, and if this limit was for example changed to an hourly one, that would also work against spammers, while not hurting normal people.

I highly doubt that people who hit the post limit make a lot of short answers... Hence why one of my complaints is the 1000 character limit... This is not IRC/Twitter, there should not be a character limit.

Yes, the threads will still exists, but they might be outdated already, hidden 10 pages back, derailed, etc... AND there might be new interesting topics I want to participate in.
Also... WHY should I have to pick only few points of interest? Why not allow more? The limit is not helping anyone! Why are you defending something that's useless?


Post number decrease is NOT a good thing! Never was, never will be. You NEED an active community for an MMO to survive really long. If the mods can't handle it, get more, easy as that.
Though I have participated in League of Legends General Discussion for years, there were no such limits, there were MORE people, more threads, more posts, and the mods still managed. So yeah...


I highly doubt they had good reasons. What I've heard the reason for the character limit was a heated discussion full of long posts a year or so back, so basically content you WANT on a forum, as long as it's not insulting and stuff.
That doesn't sound like a good reason. That sounds like an incredibly stupid reason.

It is useless. You found one debatable use - limiting spam. The rest is either moot, or just guesswork.
And of COURSE I limit my message length when it's not absolutely needed to make it long, because it's fucking ANNOYING to have to circumvent the 1000 char limit EVERY SINGLE TIME...
