Did You Know!

Seriously? We are not living in communist country....... 15mins before you can post a new post? That's crazy!!

How about make it 3mins delay so I can make my maximum 20 post per day so I can concentrated playing my game?

I don't mind the posting limits but I don't think the cool-downs for posting should be so high. Just my thoughts..

[Ramesses]

Totally loving those new rules.

Urgh, as I just ran into while replying to someone... The 1,000 character limit is just absurd. I know a lot of people have lousy attention spans these days, but there's no reason to turn a forum into Twitter.
At the very least, it shouldn't count what you're quoting.

Oh well, the official forums will be dead and fansites will be active again. I guess it's better that way, SE's attempt at "open communication" with its player base has been nothing but a headache for everyone.

"open communication"

Did you see ANY of that in the beta forum, SE was communicating well enough. Don't try to push the problem back to SE when the reason here is the noisy minority that thought that spamming the general forum was a good idea. As well i see some have not read the full dev post.

This is great, it forces new players to actually use the search function and read instead of posting the same threads all day long.

Ridiculous post-cooldown, asinine restrictions (minimum number of posts/levels before removing all limits would have been plenty), 1000 characters max-post-size...
I'll just not post valuable information and feedback/suggestions here if I ever have any.
Sub-only forums with actually active mods are the way to go- this is not, imo.

I think these rules are pretty much perfect. It's hard to sort through all the trash posts with so many people making random threads that serve zero purpose, and those same threads being bumped to the top because there is no restriction on posts. Some people tend to make a habit of carrying on long conversations on the forums that have little if any relation to the thread topic.

That's what moderators are for.

It's about time they did this! Looking forward to more constructive threads and comments and less using the forums as a personal blog/messenger.
