    Simple suggestion to stop post count scammers

    This is probably the most simplest way to stop people who try to scam that get 150 posts per day and people deem them trustworthy for some reason.

    All you would have to do is to make a post limit of maybe around 25-50 per day, something similar that http://www.zybez.net/community has.

    And if it's possible, maybe increase the limit depending on join date for people who just want to post that day.

    Edit:

    Okay. Let me explain my idea a little better.
    What I'm suggesting is this. Anyone new account that's made is limited to 25-50 posts per day until X amount of days has passed, and after that they can post however much they want.
    I'm suggesting this because I see alot of new accounts being made, they get to about 150 - 200 posts in a day and go to the blackmarket just to scam people.

    That's stupid. You should be allowed to post as much as you want. No support.

    ^ I agree with this.

    but what about a post count limit for either the first few weeks?

    Of course, anyone with your status should be able to post as much as they want, im talking about limiting people to that 25-50 posts a day for the first month on sythe.

    What if they need help with a quest? If they are starting a business to grain trust? Posting is what makes this place active.

    You do realize some people can post more than 5 times in 5 hours and get to 25 posts easy.

    That's a decent point, but I don't know any person on sythe, yet alone someone that joined just that day that makes 50 legit posts asking for quest help or running a business in a day.

    Uhm, no support. I post 50+ posts on some days, and I wouldn't want a post limit stopping me.

    =\
    Like I said before, This really only applies to new people that join as an anti-scam precautions,
    People like you wouldn't be limited at all.

    I think that's an alright idea just kinda a bad way to go about, I think the current spam rules kinda take care of that, just read all sections and report spammers and dual accounts :D. No more bs posts just for counts sake then :)

    Sorry, but this will decrease activity; not something that is desired.
