Is there a limit to how many posts a person can make in one day?

[DreamsInPink]

I'm only asking because earlier tonight, I was chatting with some people in a few threads and tried to reply to one and got an error saying I couldn't post anymore until admin cleared the filter on my account.

I was a bit annoyed to say the least.. I was on a role and in a zone... trying to get some information.

I did notice that my post count was at 50 when I got stuck.

Admin PMed me a few minutes ago saying it was fixed. I PMed them back and asked what the problem was and if it was going to happen again, but I haven't gotten a reply.

Does anyone know?

When you first join there is until you've met a certain number of posts/days of being a member. It keeps people from making false accounts and spamming the group. It is fairly standard for most groups.

So it wasn't a problem that was fixed.... it's a rule of the site. Would be nice to know the rules beforehand.

I'm on a handful of forums, horses, gardening, parrots... and have never run into this on any of them. Which is fine... all sites are different. But, as I said, it would have been nice to know.

Thank you very much for your reply. And for clearing this up for me!

The rules would have had to have been clicked on when you signed up before your first post. It was all in there. I promise.

I've went back over the terms of service, and I didn't see anything referring to limited posting. I knew in the beginning when I first made my account that my first post would have to be approved before it was posted... but nothing about once I was actually active.

Do you know if it will happen again? I'm assuming 50 was a cut off? Are there more, the higher your post count gets?

I forget myself, but if you contact a moderator, they should be able to answer all of your questions.

It's ok... I did PM the admin who fixed it. But he never replied... it's ok. Thank you though!!!

Glad you posted here!

It shouldn't happen again.

The short version: We have some limits in place for new members to help us control spam. We just had to make a tweak on your account to make sure our system didn't block your posts.
