[Request] Please remove the daily post limit!

Disagree. There are definitely certain posters on this forum that we don't need to see more posts from. Plus It's a way to combat spam topics. I cannot even begin to fathom how much of a mess this forum would be if anyone could post as much as they wanted on it.

So limit everyone because of a few. Not seeing how that's a positive resolution for anyone.

Never said It was a solution. It's pretty obvious why there is a post limit and I highly doubt they are ever going to remove it.

There's an ignore function in place to hide posters that you don't want to see and it's pretty standard for most forums to not limit the amount of posts that someone can make each day.

It's not 'obvious' since no official reason has been given to my knowledge. It appears to be a holdover from the days when the game's community was much smaller.

I find it mildly endearing that this forum uses the same setup as ones I used to frequent back in the day like Serebii.net and the like.

It's like a blast of nostalgia, albeit with all the trappings of why it's also wonky at the same time.

The official reason is posted on these forums, but it's such an old post you'll likely not find it without googling "ffxiv forum daily post limit" and then digging through the results. That's the only reason I found it originally. But I had gone through probably 30 results before I found the official stance about it. In other words, as you correctly pointed out, it is NOT obvious.

20 posts a day is more than enough for anyone. Sorry but I support the current limit.

If you guys would create longer, more thought-out posts then you can avoid that. But these empty one-liners - a speciality of the SMS, Facebook and What'sApp generations and adaptors - make it necessary for you to constantly respond. And worse: Constantly re-check for answers, which is time consuming as heck. And then you complain you have to speedrun duties and kick slightly underperforming players holding your run back by 48 seconds because of your busy life..


I know I won't win any popularity contests with saying such stuff, but the vast majority of the "heated debates" is fluff that could be compressed into less posts to begin with.

I could agree with it in some way I suppose, but just to be fair: not every message needs a long answer. I would even say that most of them don't. And at this point writing walls of the text every time even though you could pretty much answer just in one or two sentences will be a bit weird.

Not to mention that people can simply skip too long messages. Call it a modern world issue - it probably is one - but it is what it is. At one hand long-written texts are more informative, but you can also see quite a lot of cases when out of 1000 words only 10 actually has sense and the entire wall could be shortened drastically without any loss of sense (my current message including). And to avoid reading through meaningless walls of text (even when it's not the case) people simply skip them.

I found an official post where the limit was announced, but couldn't find a post with reasonings for that. Do you mind to link? Of course if you didn't find it too long ago.

I'm in full support of raiding the daily post limit and have never kicked anyone for not wanting to speedrun or advocated it. So nice strawman?

The limit isn't present on other similar sites and we're in an age where discussion happens in a rapid fire manner. Twenty posts also isn't a huge amount, especially if there's a lot of back and forth discussion.
