Current consecutive post limit?

Just a quick question, what is the current consecutive post limit, and is there a time component? Like, if my consecutive posts are spread over several days, am I allowed to post more?

I’m asking because sometimes the Agnes & Neo topic is like

AFAIK five four. And ten or 15 seconds limit between posts. The limit however seems not to apply if you are the topic starter

About Agnes & Neo: There is not much happening there so what shall we comment on?

The current consecutive post limit is four, and there’s no time limit on that, meaning that if it takes 3 days for somebody to post after your fourth post, you can’t post until they do.

Max consecutive replies = 4 (number of posts in a row a user can make in a topic before being prevented from adding another reply). You can only post more when someone else interrupts your streak, even if it’s in 2 days or more

No, you could post one a day and as long as nobody posts in between yours or after yours you still can’t post more than four in a row.

Indeed, this limit does not apply to the topic owner, site staff, or category moderators. Great motivation to start the topic

Is that TL3?

If you are in another thread which is active, you could always make a request for another member to add to the topic in which you have reached the current limit. Many other members have used this route.

i did not test yet…but is that also in ‘Fun Contest: Don’t Miss the Summer’ ?
becaus there is written: ’ You may post up to 5 entries per day:wink:

This is about posts in a row.

What you can’t do:

  1. your post
  2. your post
  3. your post
  4. your post
  5. your post

What you can:

  1. your post
  2. your post
  3. your post
  4. your post

(Now you can’t post - you need someone to stop your streak)
5) my post (breaks your streak)
6) your post again (and 3 more)

that’s what i understand/expected. Unfortunately, this means that without any other (when nobody else posts after your last) you can not post more than 4 for the whole time the topic is open.
i know (hope) that will not happen often for somebody. :hugs:

Should @NaggeDanseGanseDaag be restricted? They are currently TL3 and i got the impression form you that the limits didn’t apply to TL3

i got it 8 days ago in ‘what’s the best song…’. :hugs:
on 30. july and had to wait until 2. august.

Yes I understand you are currently being restricted but Kaya posted above

I asked if category moderators was TL3 and I got a :+1:

You are currently TL3

so ‘Should tl3 be restricted?’ does not mean, that you asked to restrict but ask for not to restrict or ‘why is restricted’ ?
i’m not nativ english :innocent:

i guess category moderators TL3 does not mean all TL3 are category moderators.

Yes I was asking why the restriction was in place

btw…i had that only this one time and never else :wink: it’s really rare.

i just had a look again on that TL things (curious) and have seen the Badges / Community Hero site.
something (maybe) strange:
there is one joined 30. july 2025 and got it 30. july 2025 :slightly_smiling_face: Not that I wouldn’t begrudge him that…
can be, that it is somebody special and got it by a moderator. :hugs:
