Forum posting restrictions

[Terofyin]

(Shortened because of character cap..) This is about the cap for posts by character level.

I understand that this system is to "protect" the users and forums from trolls and dumb threads, but that comes with every game, that is why you HAVE a staff of forum moderators and can pool good members of the community to monitor and control these sort of things, instead of just creating a system that limits EVERYONE. With this system you're letting the bad apples of the MMO community effect players who are respectful and just want to be active in the forums and with their fellow players. I come from a background where if I can't play the game currently due to maintenance or whatever I want to be active in the forums having productive conversations with other players and generally conversing within the community, and limiting 20 posts per day to me is nothing considering I used to make well over 50-100 posts a day in other forum based sites.

I did that in a previous MMO. I couldn't play the game for a little while, so I became more involved in the forums. When I got back in the game, I felt like I enjoyed it more because I was part of the community. I was not level-capped at that time, either.

Too bad I cant report there's a forum bug where "THAUMATURGE Lv" cuts off at that point and doesn't show the actual level because its too long!
<- Just look next to my profile picture here.

And it's weird, it doesn't show my v1.0 character as an option, so it thinks I'm only level 20

So I wanted to post a feedback about forum bug (no, not about classes missing in char class selection list) in "website bugs" section, but my main char lvl is not high enough. gg.
I agree with OP here, these restriction are ridiculous.
P.S. If anyone can post in Website bugs section, please do it for me.
Just a minor bug, but still. Screenshot of the bug. And another one to show that it's not because Thaumaturge is too long.

Considering this forum is only accessible to paying customers, I have to agree the forum limitations is way too much.

But this is what fansites are for, I guess.

I really want to be able to make a recruiting post on Behemoth. But since it was impossible for me to level to 25 during p4, I can't. I can understand the need for restrictions, but these are way too severe. We will be in early access soon, so I really want to put up a recruitment post. I mean, I preordered two copies of the game... shouldn't that entitle me to at least make ONE thread? :-(

Axe the thread creation requirement, or knock it down to 1 thread per day for level 10-15. I'm going to have to wait for a legacy player to start a thread on Gilgamesh so I can merely welcome my fellow servermates as Early Access begins.

Yeah, as it is, I'm just going to have to level 5 levels asap when early access starts ><

I strongly agree with the restrictions.

Forums should be a place where people can come to find answers to questions about or solutions to problems within the game. We have turned the forums for this game into a chat room. It is nearly impossible for anyone to use the search function, just due to the sheer number of topics and posts that contribute nothing to a meaningful discussion. Most topics posted in the previous forums were usually duplicates of other existing topics, and many of the posts within were either arguments for or against, trolls, or dismissive of other's opinions, and were usually the same arguments made in all of the other threads on the same topic.

These restrictions MIGHT (though I'm doubtful) make us all conscious of our posting, to make sure that we are only contributing when it is worthwhile to the community as a whole.

This is a discussion forum for discussion, which is why people post a lot ion general discussion not a help or Q&A forum. At what point does it say that the forum is for help solely and they community have made it into a discussion forum (asking for and receiving help is not a discussion that's a help forum or a Q&A forum.

I never really had a problem with this. I agree with a thread creation time limit as people just make too many threads!

But it irritates me that theres already a double thread going made by the same guy so he supposedly had to wait an hour to double it up.... and I can't even make one recruitment thread for my LS lol

Restrictions can be good, but I think this is just too much.
