I've noticed that I'm getting very close to the 4% forum posting limit and am likely to be banned from posting for a little while or a long while.
Now I know this thread is only gonna affect a few people like myself but i thought i'd cunningly put it into misc, where posts don't count against your total.
So, here it is, a place for verbose wordsmiths and drunks alike who are nearing the Event Horizon.
Ciao or ttfab.

4% Panic Thread
Are you getting close to the posting limit?
1.86%... I am still safe...
i'm safe. you can still pm though so i'm sure you can find a way to wreak havoc some how!
Use a proxy and create another account.
Look at it this way... summer's here. You should probably be spending more time in a beer garden anyway.
It's just a safe haven for anyone getting near the black hole is all guys.
What the hell is the 4% limit?
Forum Rules.

Excessive posting
Don't try to dominate the forum. Only post as frequently as others do. The limit is 4% of the total post count on any given day. Exceed 4% and your account is automatically restricted from posting for 12 hours.

4 years on the site and clueless. That's impressive.
If you were truly cunning, bd, you'd have posted this in an area where posts do count, and all our crap talk would diminish your percentage.

OK, I asked for that, but I couldn't be bothered digging through everything to find out. I actually joined the Britboard and got hit by - well, what was it, a hostile takeover or a friendly merger? As a result, I never had to study the TT rules and regulations. Such a situation could never have arisen on the Britboard and the high rate of posting on TT resulted in my being largely inactive for the last two years or so, until I landed in a new project at the beginning of this year, where I've got more or less nothing to do (at present).

I think posts in Misc do now count towards your total - that changed a while back, and everyone's post count suddenly shot up. Dunno if that means they also count for the 4% rule, but I would guess they do.
In any case, this thread has now been moved from Misc to Metachat - those pesky mods, eh? Resistance is useless.
0.01% of total forum posts
If you had so much as clicked on the first link in the original post you would have seen that the 4% limit has to do with the daily post count.

36 years on earth and ... That's impressive.
I suspect JerseyBoy may be experiencing this right now . . .
