Doowie, these restrictions are bad idea. They will just draw community to hang out on some other forums since official ones restrict you in every possible way.
- You're new character who wants to ask something about your class which was not yet covered/asked. Can you ask? Nope, because your lvl is too low. gg
- You want to answer someone's question. Well, you can't, because 15 minutes and only 3 posts per day (for new chars). People just won't bother helping each other.
- You want to participate in discussion. Well, again, you can't because of the reason mentioned above.
- You want to explain your problem/question/position in detail. GG, you figured it out. You can't, because 1000 char limit.
- You want to write detailed guide? Then again, you can't. 1000 chars limit.
List can go on.
These restrictions won't prevent people from flaming/whining/spamming. They will still do it, just like they did on beta forums. It just prevents people from interacting with each other.

Sorry to disappoint you, but forums are place for discussion.
@Rabb, you can't post in bug reports forums because they're closed until EA/Official service. Besides, Bug reports forum is exclusion to these restrictions.
