I am posting this with some trepidation.
I registered as a new member on another site (could not remember my password from a year ago so registered anew).
I just learned that I am limited to 5 posts in a 24 hour period until I have reached my goal of 15 posts.
I am sorry - this smacks (punches actually) me in the face. Makes me feel quite unwelcome.
I cannot see the reason or ruling behind this. (I literally dropped my bottom jaw)!Just the kind of thing that will prevent me going back there and keep me at the safer places, where I belong. Being babble!!!!
I am so angry and hurt. (And I intend to let them know that, even though it wont matter to them).
I went there feeling lonely. I left there feeling lonely. My own fault I guess. I don't need this cr$p.
I am a sucker for punishment.

So just go there once a day a post a screaming post THIS IS POST NUMBER ONE!!!!, etc.
And then you can be a member of their club. I would feel angry and insulted myself. I guess they are just keeping the what they perceive as riff raff out. They are only doing what they think is best. I want to say mean things, but I don't know what site and it's probably against the rules here. Uncivil. Oh well, sorry this happened. Post away here. If there are too many they can be archived.

I believe this procedure is to prevent "trolls" from creating a new ID and posting 100 really foul scatologically themed posts overnight. It's been a recurrent problem there. Perhaps they'll get bored, or caught ahead of time by this system?

I suppose I need to look at it from this point of view and not spend any time worrying about something that doesn't warrant worrying about.
Silly I know but it hurt.

Your feelings are perfectly valid. Maybe expressing them to the admin could be helpful. He ought to perhaps add some text somewhere explaining WHY they do this so people would not feel hurt or confused.
Take care, emmy

You can babble me 50 million times in an hour if you would like.
Like I said before "this world is crazy"
I told a friend at work, "We are on anti-depressents or anti- anxiety because the rest of the world is not"
It was a joke, but sometimes I wonder...

Went back - with great advice and said my thing. Felt very good about that. Thanks again TofuEmmy - you really did help me see things from a calm and reasonable point of view.
Anyway - received a reply - hmm - quite chuffed - so I say thank you.
That is 2 posts in the new 24 hour period. Then I decide to respond to a post that I felt something about and ............... YOU MAY NOT POST etc etc. Only 2 posts yet I was told I had reached my 5 post limit. I think the timing is a bit out of whack!!I am very happy and comfortable here, but I love making friends and this is why I thought I would "go there again". Now I am thinking I should have just let it be. After all - reviewing my posts from a year ago - I can't even remember them let alone who I was (no thanks to ECT which wiped out about a year's worth of memories).
Oh sorry, grumble grumble.
Just venting.
Thanks
Sabrina
