If that rule existed, what should the numbers be?7 topics and 10080 posts.
The post number is a joke, by the way. Do the math... 60 * 24 * 7...

This. I see no reason to limit posts- if it's spam, a mod will remove it. We don't have any problems with overposting in topics right now.

Re: Okay, i think some guidelines should be set up.
Do we really have an issue with too many topics? It would seem to me that excess topics would tend to drop out of sight pretty quickly, if people didn't post to them. Or, if they really belong on an existing topic, just report them so they can be merged.

Re: Okay, i think some guidelines should be set up.
Stop with the 60 second rule thing. It's not annoying. It's something that's good. If you post something and get the 60 second rule, maybe you should take it as a warning that you should make the post longer, and possibly more helpful.
I think that maybe 110 posts per day and 1 topic per day (770 per week, 7 per week) would be okay.
With a straight flush.

I believe there's already an unwritten guideline for something like that in Miscellaneous.
I'm not mistaken, we usually suggest a limit of around three new topics per day to prevent Miscellaneous from being flooded with topics by one user; so far it's worked just based on the front page of Miscellaneous right now since each user has no more than three topic on the first page of Miscellaneous (as of this moment, of course, it's bound to change over time). There are no limits on how many posts can be made in general - they just have to stay on topic and follow the given guidelines (and Scratchers are expected to report off-topic cases or cases that break the guidelines).

This is good.
Maybe if you delete a topic, you can post another topic?
60 second rule means you could still make approximately....43,200 posts (?) in one day, including topics.
umm 60 sec rule so 1 post per minute thats 60 post an hour and 60*24=1,440 so your a bit to far off
!!!When it comes to Scratch2.0 I am totally like freaking out!!!

Yep, they exist, at least in Miscellaneous anyway. Other forums don't really have that policy, but that's probably because most of the aggressive mass posting is in Miscellaneous.

Re: Okay, i think some guidelines should be set up.
I believe there is a current limit of 2 topics per day, and public opinion would wipe you out if you started becoming like somelia(no offence).
If, like me, you posted ON TOPIC posts, then why should you limit it?
In fact, I believe we should change the 60 second rule to 30 seconds at most. Or even none. Kongregate has a 0 second rule and it doesn't get spammed up.
Error:Signature could not load. Please wait for an indefinite amount of time, until you realize you're gullible and go off to look for another potentially interesting signature to stare at.

Re: Okay, i think some guidelines should be set up.
Alright, I do NOT support. I have opinions, what happens once I've USED UP ALL OF MY POSTS? Would I delete one of my older posts? That would be so annoying. I think that this would be useless, and in fact lose many forum users.
Hey. It's me SSSS, back from the dead!

Re: Okay, i think some guidelines should be set up.
I don't agree with having a post limit, but there should be a topic limit (in Miscellaneous, at least). I think 7 topics per week is more than enough.
I'm taking a break from Scratch until 2.0 comes out. Any messages sent between then and now probably won't be read - sorry.
