| Aug 5, 2012 at 5:53 | comment | added | user5137 | If you feel the need to ask more than 50 questions per month, then that's a very good sign that you need to step back and think more carefully about what you're studying. | |
| Aug 4, 2012 at 0:45 | comment | added | Asaf Karagila Mod | I think that the good folks writing on this thread should ask themselves: Would you register in advance if they would tell you that the limit was prebuilt into the system, knowing that there is no reasonable alternative without the limit? I would think that most people would say yes. Much like other conveniences that are taken away - this too is something that we can easily adapt to. For those not believing, try quitting TV or using a cellphone for a short period, say two weeks. See how it goes... | |
| Aug 3, 2012 at 21:09 | comment | added | Mariano Suárez-Álvarez Mod | Dear Matt, it would not be a good idea to delete this thread, because it documents the events it documents. It is a slightly annoying side-effect that you will get a few pings out of it, but hopefully that is not too much noise. | |

| Aug 3, 2012 at 12:56 | comment | added | user5783 | @MattN. You have me on skype. Type up as if you want to post a question on SE, then paste the text on skype and I will post it for you. And ping me on chat or something if you would like me to post on your behalf. | |
| Aug 3, 2012 at 11:50 | comment | added | user856 | For what it's worth, though, I do disagree with closing a question just because you're unhappy with one of the three answers that have been posted. | |
| Aug 3, 2012 at 11:48 | comment | added | user856 | @Matt, t.b. did not say you did anything wrong. I believe his point is that it is in principle not acceptable to create a new account just to get around the rules you don't like. That's independent of whether one thinks the rules are really fair or not; if they really are unfair, well, we're having that discussion now, so not all hope is lost. (And if I've counted correctly, your 50th most recent question was asked almost exactly a month ago, so your cap should be lifted very soon.) | |

| Aug 3, 2012 at 10:59 | comment | added | Martin Sleziak | Since we are discussing also the possibility of creating multiple accounts here, this might be relevant: IIRC I've seen that the poster of the linked question had a temporary ban few days after that discussion. (Although I have no way to verify this information and only the mods know the reasons for banning a user.) | |

| Aug 3, 2012 at 10:22 | comment | added | t.b. | @Martin: I do not think that opening a second account specifically to circumvent limitations imposed on another account is acceptable. In my opinion this is comparable to working around a suspension by opening a different account. | |
| Aug 3, 2012 at 10:10 | comment | added | Martin Sleziak | @MattN. Well, the meta.SO thread linked from other question would suggest so; the reactions here at meta.MSE were ambivalent, I'd say. | |
| Aug 3, 2012 at 9:49 | comment | added | Martin Sleziak | Since you asked about possibility of second account, this was discussed not so long ago here: Could I have two accounts? | |
| Aug 3, 2012 at 6:50 | comment | added | Martin Sleziak | BTW it was asked in the other thread whether the moderator are able to remove the limit in particular case, see this comment, the answer was no, see this comment. | |

| Aug 3, 2012 at 0:10 | comment | added | user5783 | Though I am not a moderator and have no power to lift the cap on Matt.N, judging by the quality of the questions he has posted I think Matt.N should be allowed to post more questions. Some of the questions he has posted have led to very informative answers and high level interpretations of material. For example, see this answer by Pierre here to one of Matt's questions. | |

| Aug 2, 2012 at 22:37 | comment | added | t.b. | @Asaf: according to this answer the limits are 50 per 30 days and 6 per 24 hours. | |
| Aug 2, 2012 at 22:25 | comment | added | Asaf Karagila Mod | What sort of 'month' is this? Is it "August" or just "within a 30 days time frame"? | |

| Aug 2, 2012 at 20:11 | comment | added | Old John | As far as I am aware (please correct me if I am mistaken), the primary reason for introducing the limit was the behaviour of a very small number of individuals. It would be a shame if valued members of our community were to be penalised due to the behaviour of such a small group. | |
