"New accounts" Post limit

[Kuroi_Tsuki]

Don't write there. You will use up one of your 3 daily posts.

You think that topic is not important enough to spend 1 of your 3 daily posts?

I actually didn't know there was a 3 post daily limit. I found out the hard way. Like I said I have never heard of a daily limit on a forum before. I didn't know something like that even existed.

This is the dumbest thing I have ever heard of! I have been on many forums, granted not MMOs, but I have never seen a restriction on the number of post per day and time limit. What if a person is actively trying to help others solve a problem or give guidance because the devs are not available readily? I have to waste one of my 3 post to tell them to post it in one of the forums that don't have a restriction so that I can talk to them. Really? You know then, if you want to put these restriction, create a chat room or something where people can talk, yes casually. Or create a forum called Off topic like most other forums do. I don't think server congestion or storage is the reason for a game developer such as SE. They are a million dollar (probably billion dollar) industry and could easily afford the hardware, software and bandwidth. If they were a site like xda forums that is comprised of freelance developers devoting their time, then I could understand. But you are a getting money from subscriptions and sales so I don't get it. Want a cleaner forum? Hire moderators that their sole job all day is moderate the forums...like most other forums do. Don't make devs cleanup, I know I would hate to do that when I could be developing something useful.

I can see why FFXIV realm and zam will be better sites

I wouldn't even mind if they implemented the time limit for new players...but 3 posts a day in General forums is kind of ridiculous.

[MadokaTomoyo]

Yeah, it appears to be the General discussion board only, or maybe it's each category gets 3 or 4?

lol, like I was saying early everyone will start to realize this and flood tech forums...Now everybody is doing just that.

[SentientWaffle]

This is absolutely ridiculous. As long as this nazi regime is in place, me, and probably many others, will just use fansite forums to chat and help. Well done, SE, well done. Way to alienate your players.

[Urthdigger]

Good guy SE sabotages official forums to give fansites a point again?

Where can you find the number or threads and posts you have either created or responded to in that 24hr period?
