[HPFGU-Feedback] 5 Posts per day limit

[Susan Albrecht]

Shorty:
> The 5-post limit is *in* the posting rules; it's *in* the Humongous BigFile.  Those members who've been at HPfGU for more than a 
> few months know that we moved from 3 to 5.  I do not understand what this evidence is that the limit is "unfamiliar.

Random:
>>> If it were more familiar, nobody would have suggested splitting the
post out into individual ones for each question, just as no-one ever
suggests leaving off the signature to save space, or top-posting so
that the new content is immediately visible. That's all I meant <<<


Shorty Elf:
Ah, okay, I think I see what you're saying.  The very fact that Aussie responded with the "guess" that an elf had contacted this newbie about splitting out the questions makes you believe that people aren't all that familiar with the limit?  Or am I still missing the point?

Frankly, one member saying that he suspected a newbie might've been contacted about parceling out questions into separate posts does not, to me, mean it's a common misunderstanding that there's no posting limit or that the 5-post limit isn't enforced.  It's a leap I'm not quite making.

Also, truthfully, I have no idea what was behind Aussie's response.  First of all, the newbie herself didn't seem to be concerned either that she *should* post a lot of questions in one post *or* that she should separate them out.  Steve (bboyminn) responded to her and addressed just about all of her questions.  Nowhere was it mentioned that she should not submit so many together just to save posts, and neither was it suggested anywhere that she could post each question separately, for an unlimited number of questions, because she can post as much as she wants.  

So that's why I'm puzzled by Aussie's response and also unsure that it really pertains to an understanding/belief about the posting limit either.  To me it seems more about the issue of clarity in posts.  Who knows whether Aussie was even thinking about how many posts this member would have in which to ask her questions?
