After you've been here a while, and have hopefully started seeing how everything works (like a year) then you get 2 posts.
It would vastly cut down on the spam, as new members would save that post for something worth talking about.
If HT was really good he could limit the number of replys as well. Although I'd expect they would get a few more of those.
Even if it was for the first 3 months, 1 post a day. 2nd 3 months 2 posts, etc. Till at the end of the year if you hadn't been a total pain you'd get unlimited status.
Just a wish for a calmer quieter AH message boards. :)

Are you, by any chance, a Democrat? :O

:aok Nice Ghosth
That's all I have to say about that.

And on the second post... I forgot one other idea. They can only be allowed to start one new thread a week.

But then new members would just make new names and make more post.

verdammt Glock! Please do not game the game (forum the forum??) Somehow I bet the ones Ghosth is speaking of would not have thought of doing that on their own.

Especially if their name starts with the letter y. :aok

just for my personal understanding..........
in this open forum composed of presumably free thinking minds
they have already limited what we can and cant discuss
they have limited the words we can and cant use
they have limited the types of pictures we can and cant post
now you want them to limit how many times a person can post
how many times they can reply to the post of others
and, if in the opinion of a judge of some sort, the new person says the things the judge likes to hear then the new person will be allowed to say more of it, and say it more often??
do you wear a monocle??
have a 1 inch mustache?
how about a fur hat??
i think i have heard of these kind of rules before......................
HIEL!
p.s. would this be the kind of reason you came up with your idea???

To stop spam.
BTW the sky isn't falling.

meh...
why limit the free flow of communication? if anyone should be limited ot 1 post a day it's ummmm platinum members. :noid
-
That might be abit too restrictive G,but I see the need for some kind of restriction.
Maybe a quote and emoticon could be kicked!! stop spam and post count all in 1.
Or a charactor count minimum to suppress the needless posts.. no names needed!!

See how things work?? :lol
People that have been here for years make stupid posts and spam daily.
So what if a new guy asks for an airplane that's been asked for in the past, who is harmed by that?
If you think a subject isn't worth talking about don't read it. You have a choice on which threads you read.
If you want a calmer quieter messege board you can open your own at proboards.com and not allow anyone else in.

Still a little kid so sad.

On second thought.... "G" I'm seeing your point now.. :furious
-
I need more attention.

Yup you know me so will. Want a prize?

I'm going to leave you with this glock. Be careful of the attention you crave. The prize you may get might not be the one you wanted.

Will do sir. :salute

Limit posts...a question, we have a lot of new memebers who, as you say, just spam and flood the forum of useless thing. The easiest: let's limit the number of posts.
Now, and if some of those new memebers was real WWII pilots? (just an example,maybe too far, but it explain my thoughts). Or it's a Aeronautical engineer....or...ect ect.
Peaple who would have a lot of interesting things to post, and you want to limit them? I prefer just have to use my mouse to scroll down useless post.
-
LOL
Well it started as a joke. If figured if all these new guys can come in and ask for impossible things. Why can't I?
Little did I realize that the very people I was posting about you come prove my point for me.
Thank you all, I'm going to leave this on the following note.
Hitech, in all your wisdom, Surely there must be a way sir. I leave it to you to find and implement.
<S>

Maybe we could limit glock to one post per thread?

Maybe we shouldn't maybe we should leave glock alone and he won't bug you about things and other crap. How that sound?

It's beyond his intelligence level. A room full of chimpanzees will be able to type out the complete works of Shakespeare before glock is able to type one relatively coherent sentence.
ack-ack

Pwn.
And by the way......I'm not new. Just back.....posting one simple thing, in which I doubt other posts will follow suit. I used to be a regular. I've given up due to members like glock. Lord have mercy on this community, I remember how it used to be.......so sweet.

Change is good don't like it then don't squeak about it.

Or you could remove the post counter, resulting in people not posting for the sakes of just making another post to add to their counter. There are better ways to improve the quality of a forum without reducing the amount of communication going on in it. And to impose daily post/reply limits actually causes the forums to become less calm and just unreadable.
I like the idea of a calm, quiet and well organized forum too. However it goes against the purpose of a forum if you heavily restrict or limit the daily post flow and general environment of free-flowing information.
It's also very counterproductive for HTC's end. Say it's a patch day and there are multiple bugs in the game and the forum is useing a 1 topic, 5 replies limit. Good bug-reporting players know when one bug is completely isolated from another bug and when, for the sakes of not making it confusing, to report each individual bug in the game in it's own thread (this way HTC knows they have a bug with plane X, a bug with texture Y, and a bug with code line Z, and that those three separate bugs are not one single XYZ bug being reported from a single player). So now this bug-reporter has to choose which bug is the most important to report today, and which ones to que up and report when he can and as he can due to the forum restriction. So a post a day results in a player with a good description of 5 bugs in a new patch having to post about those 5 bugs over 5 days time, instead of posting them as he finds them.
Another way it's counter productive to HTC and everyone else in the game is that it prevents those players not officially associated with HTC from freely stepping in to provide help and support to new players asking for it. Friendly loves to teach people how to play in this game, and he could be replying to and helping 10 different players today with their problems/questions on the boards, but instead he now needs to choose which one to help today and which of the other 9 to put off until later or not help out at all. Everyone looses except for the one lucky nub who won the Friendly lottery today... and even that lucky nub probably has more questions he wants to ask, new topics to create to ask those in, and so this system is restrictive in them learning and getting into the game too.
And finally, the post limit you put in place to create more calm and quiet forums ultimately does the opposite you created it for... it will create countless incomprehensible, multiple-subject, multiple-topic, "walls-of-text" that would make the most hardened reader cringe while deciphering. Tell me, is it easier if a topic is broken down into it's own individual threads so that it can clearly be shared and replied to while not going off-topic, or is it easier to cram everything you wanted to talk about today into a multi-page novel that then needs to be picked apart subject by subject, topic by topic so that it's possible for people to reply to it as best they can without creating another wall of text?

I had a idea like this but never post it mainly because i would get a a lot of crap throw at me. Not a bad idea i like it.
