Time to speak up before its too late

Suggestion, get rid of the posting limits. I started posting on the forum 4? days ago, and quickly ran into a notice that I was at my limit, altho I still had comments I wanted to make. The next day I answered a few of the current posts, then tried to make this post and was again blocked. Third day, same thing. By that time I was kinda mad and discussed it via pm with admin. I understand the desire to avoid spam posting to get to a certain # of posts. This system, however, just prevents an active forum discussion. You do want an active forum, do you not? A better way would be to simply ban the spammer for a few days after the fact, if he repeats the infraction, then kick him out. Lets face it, the requirement for five posts is easy to do, what difference does it make if they are in one day or two?

We have attempted to implement a compromise on this for which you were granted the exemption. These are on a case-by-case basis.

Yes, I was given the exemption, thank you for that. But my point is that I was almost pissed enough on that 3rd day to not bother sending that pm, could you be losing new members to this posting requirement? This requires no answer, I am not trying to argue, I just wanted to throw that thought out.

Another suggestion. The latest post list at the top only shows 5 posts. Can that be given a down arrow so that we can scroll down and see more than 5?

Click the small down arrow next to "Top 5 Stats" and click "view more" and you'll be able to choose another amount to see.

Hey cool, that works, thanks

How about lifting the daily post limits but leaving the five posts needed and restricting new members from the password section until they prove they are here for the forum and not the freebies? Then give them access to the passwords

17 posts in almost a year. Notice any pattern to your posts? Can I take a wild guess why you're making this suggestion?
