So I’m not sure if I can post this thread, if yes, I’m lucky, otherwise I have to think of something else… When I try to post to any topic (tried multiple, have multiple drafts open now \>\_\<), I get the following error message: > We have a daily limit on how many times that action can be taken. Please wait 11 hours before trying again. So, there apparently is a daily limit on how many posts you can do? So I do consider myself active here, but 20 posts isn’t that much in a single day, especially for a project with such activity. So can we get that increased please? (tbh. I don’t actually get why there is such a limit anyway; such things should only be enabled once the number of posts become a problem) _edit:_ Interesting. I can post a new thread. This does not really make any sense but I’m somewhat glad… :S * * * Since I still cannot reply for another 7 hours, I’ll have to edit this to answer… > [@codinghorror](#): > > new users are limited to 20 replies (and 10 topics) in their first day It would help if the actual error message said this somewhere. Also, I don’t think this is an appropriate limit, as it clearly cripples new users from engaging with the community. It’s a terrible user experience trying to reply to a post that addresses me personally, and being told _after writing_ the message that I can’t post it for another 11 hours. ---

You were still a new user – new users are limited to 20 replies (and 10 topics) in their first day, defined as the 24 hour period after account creation. Which makes sense, as the _entire site_ was less than a day old.
