Limiting Forum Contribution and Stifling Discussion

[jvp]

I would have replied an hour or so ago, but I had apparently exhausted my posting privileges for the day.

I personally think having an arbitrary posting limitation on everyone because of some fear that a portion of the community will post 'junk' posts, isn't the correct way to do things. Having rules set up that are tailored for the lowest common denominator of whatever society or group that you are in is never a good thing for that community as a whole. Having the ability to have open discussions without the fear of having to ration your posts is completely asinine and reeks of laziness on SE's part. Individuals should be dealt with on a case by case basis, and not by some over reaching blanket statement that affects everyone negatively.

People should be held accountable and penalized if necessary for their own actions, not by the actions of some person whom they have no control over.

There something you folks are forgetting here. The servers can't handle free and open posting right now. My guess is, after things calm down and the servers are brought up to handle the unexpected demands those limitations will get lifted.

I think people shouldn't have access until they pay their first month subs.

Did........did you even read the beta forums? If you didn't then you were spared from the atrocious monstrosity it was. The community itself is to blame for the restrictions.
