Hey All,

Please allow me to explain the new posting limits -- how they work and why they are necessary.

What User Accounts are Affected?
The new posting limits ONLY affect ROOKIE level (30 posts or less) and PRO level (100 posts or less) accounts. There are NO posting limitations on accounts that have reached VETERAN level or above.

User accounts with subscriptions (BASIC or above) are not affected by the posting limitations.

What are the limitations?
ROOKIE level accounts are only allowed to start 1 topic and make 5 replies per a 24 hour period.
PRO level accounts are only allowed to start 3 topics and make 10 replies per a 24 hour period.
*** Once an account reaches VETERAN status, there are no posting restrictions. ***

Why are the limitations necessary?
Two reasons really: First, to reduce the scope of inappropriate content being posted by rookie level accounts. And, second, to increase the consequences of a ban by temporarily reducing an individual’s involvement on the forums.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,

Brandon ‘95

Can we get rid of a few [like 1 or 2] emoticons and get more useful ones?

WO: Good idea and good job. Of course, my being a moderator might make me a bit biased...

I like the changes you have made since last night. Would it ever be possible to manually approve all new usernames registered?

Can we get an automatic promotion to Legend if we have been here since the Big Crash of '99 without getting banned?

Can we demote Chargerag back to rookie so he can only start 1 thread/day? Maybe he will be more selective then.

Big 12 Ag,

Last night VETERAN level accounts were being affected by the limits. This has been fixed.

I thought it meant Staff, but I was wondering if it might have been something better like Superman or Superstar.

To the huddled masses: As a lawyer who reads the fine print, let me direct your attention to the following:

I would gladly pony up in fact i was thinking of it until they banned me without explaination or warning.

I am not going to give anyone any $ unless I understand what i can and cannot do.

now i get banned for only reasons that i can guess at.

If I pay I want warnings and at least an explaination of "the line"

and I want Smoothie back and my "L" till then you can think about my offer.

Excellent...

Doc: Oh, no. So much as a slight breeze comes along and you could have post limits again.
