It is specifically limiting how many times I can reply to posts. It just says ānew users are limitedā without saying for how long or what I need to do to prove Iām not a spambot.
Itās not even like I havenāt had this account for forever, itās just that I havenāt posted in the forums before.
The forum has trust levels based on Discourse. The more someone reads, spends time on here, posts, and likes/receives likes, the higher trust level youāll get. You start at trust level 0 I believe, and can achieve up to trust level 3. Each trust level gives you less restrictions and trust level 3 gives you the ability to make a wiki or post URLās or images.
Iām not sure what is going on there. I havenāt seen this issue (and I was trust level 0 for a while, and still able to do a LOT of posts to reply to one of my topics), unless you are talking about ābumpingā (where you do immediately sequential posts; I thought that was not allowed at all, but I have seen some be able to do it so there may be SOMETHING).
Ah. That is weird, I donāt remember having thatā¦but I started posting right when they opened it. I remember them saying that there is a limit cap for the first week but I donāt remember it being such a small number.
When I first started using this forum I had a message pop up after some posts stating pretty much that I was nearly out of posts for the day. That was when I was still fairly new here.
I literally only want to talk about one thing. One thing that means a lot to me. I jumped into the thread about it and started replying to people to open dialogue with them and BOOM Iām shut down.
If I suddenly started spamming the same repeated text or what have you, then sure, Blizzard should stop me, but this is ridiculous.
I understand but sadly this is what weāre stuck with. It doesnāt take too long to get to trust level 2 though and you should find things are much better then.
The following might help guide you on how trust levels work, itās not exactly how Blizzard configured this specific forum but it uses a similar principle.
The whole concept of trust levels is going to keep me riled up for the next WEEK though oh my gosh. How could anyone think treating your customers like children who havenāt proved they can handle a puppy is a good idea?
Haha no problem, yeah I know. Trust level 3 is the harder one to achieve but you can kinda cheat that one (with the āread posts requirementā) by scrolling through the Mercy megathreads (old one for example) which are used to silence Mercy discussions here at the moment.
Itās something like in the last 100 days youāve visited 50 days on here, 20k posts read, some likes given and received, some posts made. I think thatās the general guideline for trust level 3 on here. Trust level 1 and 2 are far easier to get.
Yah, the requirements are really unclear. Iām past all that and still 2. 1 and 2 just happen. 3 is just screwy on its requirements that we really donāt know.
Reaching trust level two shouldnāt really take much time at all really, itās what most everyone here is. Once there the only thing you really canāt do is post links (but you can if you use the </> option when typing in a link, it will look like this: google.com itās just not clickable)
I hit a limit of how many edits to posts I could do lol, I reached about 40 on a thread and it told me I had to wait 3 hours, I was a little surprised that it wouldnāt let me edit any of my posts on the forum, not just the big one I was messing with
Pressing the </> button will place two of these: `` in your post. Just put your link between them and it should work like so: google.com
Try quoting me, itāll show you exactly how I did it.
Thereās also a great tutorial stickied at the top of the forum:
