I've yet to see an official FAQ spelling out who can post what, where, or how often. I know it was mentioned that New Player Help, Technical Help, and one other place were not subject to the limits. Past that, no clue.

What I do know is that until we meet some random requirement, we're not allowed to even comment in the General Discussion or most other boards. I could maybe see restricting it to comments only and disallowing new threads but to not even be able to join in the discussions going on? Unacceptable.
