Daily post limit, beware! XD

[Rillifane]

sorry, you make it too easy, my original point still stands

Nope problem exists deal with the cap, if you don't like it don't post in general discussion.

These restrictions are in place because of the piss-poor behavior of posters in the Beta Genital (General) Forums. If the community has proven itself to be civil, the mods will likely lift the restrictions.

You mean the mods don't want to properly moderate the forums so they feel they have to inconvenience the well behaved users as much as possible, because the trolls won't care about post limits and they will post as much as possible whilst we can't have proper discussions. We will already have only subscribers, whereas the beta forum was anyone that wanted to sign up (most of which we will never see again) so effectively no limitations, therefore more trolling.

Good idea!
Let's all take our general discussions and post them in the tech support and bug report sections of the forums!

There's also a thread creation limit so people don't make threads like this one.

And yet it didn't work.

Twice.

Of course as you will be more likely to get a responce to the post count limit from a dev there than the general discussion, or maybe even in its proper place such as the forum feedback section.

Who said we want to talk to devs?
There's already a post in the feedback section about this.
We want to freely discuss things with other players.

Technically it did work, one is in it's correct place, the other is not and people are being bad and complaining in the wrong place so the OP lost 1 of his daily limit.

The feedback section is not immune from the post count.

Also, if you haven't noticed, this thread seems to be addressed to the community, not the devs, so it is very much in the right section.

I know it's not but you can still discuss it with other players there, the strict rules are here for a reason, which over time will most likely get increased to a more sensible size, not to mention people will increase in level so those that were capped in to 20 in open beta will get access to the 20 per day. And then later on when things calm down a little they will increase the cap. If people didn't want to abuse "freedom of speech" to give out endless hate speech in 1.0 and alpha/beta forums there wouldn't be threads like this talking about a post cap.

Ah yes, silence everyone because a few people might be mean.
Sounds quite reasonable..
Or, something more reasonable, is to hire moderators that actually moderate the forums, and have them take care of the trolls, instead of snuffing out any chance of fostering an actual community.


As a very social person, 20 posts a day, at 4 posts an hour is not only not enough, but freakishly agonizing.
It results in these ugly-ass quote conversations that are going to plague these forums if people will actually still bother to come here to discuss things.
That's not how forums work.

I'll take this logic and run with it to a more extreme example, just because a small minority of the worlds total population commits murder doesn't mean there should be laws against it!

Also doesn't mean you should chop off everyone's hands so they don't have the chance to stab anyone.

How can this be called general discussion if you can't discuss stuff....

Yeah guys, its totally SE's fault. They should just moderate us more, why should we be expected to make quality postings? This post limit is an autocracy!
