Can we get rid of the daily post limit?

[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...

[Kallera]

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

The posting limit, and especially the limit for creating threads until reaching 25, are bad ideas for new players. When a new player has questions in a game that has relatively quiet chat channels, and that new person comes to the forum to post instead, it's frustrating not being able to ask questions in a thread. This only drives newer players toward third-party forums which don't have such silly restrictions.

Im sick of the post limit, and the character limit too. Get rid of it.

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...

Jfc I can't believe someone actually is in support of this. This fanbase will defend anything SE does, no matter how bad of an idea it actually is.

Subjectivity at its best.

Tell me, why preventing people from flooding the boards, making threads even bigger than they already are (you know, when page 3 is the same as page 54 where people are still arguing about the same stuff over and over again) is a bad thing?
Tell me, why making the overall moderation easier is a bad thing?
Tell me, why is making people focus on some subject instead of posting everything in a giant mess is a bad idea?

I'm not making a strawman argument here. Daily post limits do prevent big thread flood, do make moderation easier and do reduce the amount of overall bullsh*t. It's not my opinion and I'm not making that up, these are logical facts.
What I said was that these facts are beneficial in some way and that I wasn't sure that removing that limit would be better. Hell that was my first sentence about the subject "But the 20 posts per day? I don't know...".

So, yeah, keep calling someone a white knight or a fanboy just because that person found some logical arguments that you can't even contradict. You'll go far. Or not.

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...

It is annoying but it does limit the wall of texts people would be putting up if the did away with the character limit and the post count restrictions does cut down on trolling.
Sure people can edit and bypass it but usually dont because it's bothersome.

You've had 9 posts since May 2015. Your reply is also under 1,000 characters and is still able to get your point across to the community.

The current limits far exceeds what you and most users actually use everyday.

Every so often we do need to bypass the 1,000 character limit to explain something in detail but most of the times, no.

Both the limits are fine.

[Miscreant]

I don't post too frequently, but yesterday was patch day and a slow day at work, there were lots of people who made stupid threads so maybe I got a bit carried away and discovered there was a max post limit.

To me it's kind of odd to have this, but it's only effected me once, so no big.
