Not sure if this is some sort of safety device or whether I'm the first to reach it but yesterday, I was prevented from posting as I reached my daily posting limit.
Has anyone else had this before? If not, do I win a prize? | This user would like to thank Phil_MCR for this useful post: | |

If you reach 4% of the daily total of posts, or 2% of the weekly total, you are prevented from posting until everyone else catches up.
It's to prevent one or two voices drowning out those of the rest of the forum.
I think it's an excellent idea. | The following 5 users would like to thank for this useful post: | |

One can hit the limit quite quickly on a sunny Sunday afternoon.

You can always check your posting levels here. http://www.englishforum.ch/xtra/posting_averages.php
The cut out level is 4.0% of the total posts in a day or 2.0% in a week.
The exact number will vary depending on the total number of posts in any given day.
Currently, the limits are around 30 posts in a day or 160 in a week

As you can see, it works a treat.  | | | | | Problem is, comes a time when you have to choose between 'drivel' or 'helpful advice'.
No prize for guessing which one I choose when I get to limit

Or the lolcats?
Or everything being marked as read while you're perusing a long thread?
