Posting this because no one else seems to want to, and it’s a discussion worth having outside of drama or personal conflicts. I’m undecided and can see both sides, but it’s important to address.

Potential benefits of a limit:

  • Frequent posters hold significant influence and could, in theory, push misinformation or propaganda (though I haven’t seen evidence of this it’s a fair concern).
  • A community dominated by one or two voices might discourage new members from participating.
  • Encouraging quality over quantity could increase the value of individual posts.

Potential downsides of a limit:

  • Could reduce overall community engagement.
  • If set too low, it might discourage meaningful participation from well-intentioned members.
  • It could inadvertently encourage the (mis)use of alt accounts.

These are some pros/cons but certainly not all! I encourage more discussion below.

    UniversalMonk peaking I think at 17 posts in one day on October 8th

    In one community though? Because that’s like 2 posts a day over an 8 hour day. Lots of posters post more than that even now, and they’re not called trolls. Look at how much Blaze posts and comments. lol

    And you, yourself sir, are on A LOT. Like how many posts and comments do you make a day?
