Forum Post Limit on Character Level? WTF?

[Milander]

Seriously? You have decided that you are going to limit the amount of posts someone can make on the forums by their character level? Then cap the MAX possible posts to 20 a day? This is a seriously STUPID thing. Yes it stops gold farmers and such from spamming the forums, but it also stops people (like me) from reading the forums and putting in comments as they read. This is also not the way to limit 'bad press' on the forums. Sure people are mad, and they vent. I'd much rather have a mad subscriber posting a rant on my forum, that I could then edit or remove due to EULA, than a 'gagged' ex subscriber who tried to say something got told "You post too much come back tomorrow" and returns the game never to play again.

Guess they are worried too many people are going to make angry posts and make the servers meltdown. BTW This sorta thing DOES NOT HELP

I agree 100%. I have never seen a game do something of this sort on their forums, it absolutely boggles my mind that there was someone out there who came up with this idea, and actually thought it was a good a thing to do.
