20 post limit suggestion

[Zedine]

Can we remove the 20 post limit for threads you have started?
It seems kind of odd to want a community that helps each other when I can only post 20 times a day. I understand it will prevent spam flooding, but can we at least remove this from posts that were created by yourself.

The reason being that if a post is created by yourself you have 19 left, if 4 people respond and you respond to each one of them, after a few exchanges, you are cut off from your own post and discussion. Then people will keep posting and trying to keep the discussion going, but then without the original poster responding, the thread slowly dies. It can only return the next day, after the issue is no longer on peoples minds. Meanwhile either questions to the Original poster are left unanswered and discussions are left half way.

This usually leads to threads changing direction from the original post and people editing comments to respond/reflect changes, leaving a convoluted forum post. If you want the community to use these forums instead of other sites, some changes are needed. I think this could be helpful. Maybe change the limitation to posting to 20 Threads a day, and 100 posts, or something else. 20 is too limiting for any actual discussions to take place.

Definitely agree. I use forums a lot, and I've been really hesitant about using these forums. If I get into a discussion on even 2 threads I'll run out of posts. Never before have I seen a company put such heavy restrictions on their community, especially where we're supposed to be helping each other.

In my opinion it should be completely removed, spammers can simply be punished and those that just post alot for fun can do so without this annoying limit.
