That does not really fit the fact that I got the “basic user” badge before I hit that daily cap.
And my point stands that this is a terrible user experience for new users. After keeping my browser open for 11 hours yesterday just to send the posts I had already written, my desire to continue enganging was literally at zero.
I understand that Discourse wants to avoid misuse from new users, but I think assuming good faith is a lot more healthy for a community that wants to grow.
