QuoteWe are currently experimenting with a post limit for the Buy/Sell/Services boards. In essence, you will need a total of 5 posts before you are allowed to post in these boards.
I've lurked since coming back to the game in ~February and I'm curious about the reasoning on this. Is it just a problem with low-effort posting, spam, or something similar?
We are currently looking for more moderators (Recruitment: new moderators for Guild Wars Legacy!) - we haven't recruited new moderators since Legacy started and some moderators have (naturally) decided to stop or reduce the amount of time they can invest in Legacy.
Because of that, some changes - like this one - are being put in place to help our moderation team.
Have these requirements changed? I believe I meet the requirements and waited 30 minutes still can't post. Just trying to figure out if I'm missing something.
The requirements have not been changed, but it can take up to 10 minutes before you are automatically moved to the right group.
5 posted threads or are 5 reply’s also ok?
5 replies are okay, it's just posts not new threads.
I get why this has been implemented but i am not sure if the current side effects are particularly desirable.
imo this needs some sort of rework or refinement
It is currently a trial test and can be reconsidered or refined in the future.
It seems like posts made in the price check forum don't count towards the total however. There aren't too many active discussions so it's a little harder to contribute without making random meaningless posts, definitely understand the rule change though.
Price check should be set-up to count the posts.
Oh... Maybe this should appear in the Xunlai Market Rules?
I've added this in - thanks for bring this to my attention
