I post as often as I have something to contribute. This number of posts per page thing is silly.

Agreed.

The rule does not exist. The only rule for posting is this one:
quote:
Rules for posting
You may not post any abusive, obscene, vulgar, slanderous, hateful, threatening, sexually-orientated or any other material that may violate any applicable laws. Doing so may lead to you being immediately and permanently banned (and your service provider being informed).
And to avoid spamming the following has been added to the rules:
quote:
When am I spamming?
You are considered to be spamming if you are creating multiple posts after each other, with the sole purpose to increase your post count. Your behaviour can also be considered spamming when you are posting way off topic or posting meaningless topics, with again the sole purpose to increase your post count. The moderator/administrator will issue a warning to you if you are spamming. After 5 warnings you will be banned. Only an administrator can undo that action and/or reset your warning level. Besides being issued a warning your total post count will be reduced also!
With the (not often used) additional penalty:
quote:
What happens when I am spamming?
Spammers get 1 warning for spamming before any further actions are taken, after that the following applies:
At the second warning they loose 20% of their postcont.
At the third warning they loose 50% of their postcount.
At the fourth warning they are reset to 0.
When they drop because of this below 500 posts they also loose their avatar and title and have to reapply once they get above that number.
Every warning will set a timer that will last for one month. Any future warnings given in this time, will lower that persons warning level, reduce the postcount and restarts the timer. If however, within this time no further warnings are given then that person goes up one warning level. In short it could take a day to drop your postcount to 0, but it takes 4 months for your record to be cleared.

I didn't say it was an official rule, so sorry that I confused . It was taken from a very funny topic in a forum that offered a guide to users that wanted to achieve a high number of posts but without being punished for spamming. At one point or another this was Kamahl's goal, I believe, and he was doing things just like in the guide, so I presumed he also read it. Turns out he didn't.

Respect to you, CassRo. You don't post a lot, but when you do, you always know how to knock me off my chair.
Talking about postcounts: only 100 to go and I'll hit the 300. Woohoo
