How to get rid of posting limits

[Windmill]

Hi there,

I want to hire people on here but my posting limits are extremely frustrating. Any post that contains any reasonable size paragraph gets filtered as "spam". The thread I wrote in the hiring section was rather long. I also want to engage in analysis on here but that also results in long posts. My guess is I need to donate, or else post a lot of posts what do I need to do? Thanks

Posting limits....?
I never experienced that... and my posts are quite long...

I think you are putting URLs... that is not allowed until you have a certain number of posts...

 

[Windmill]

Nope. I don't put URL's in my post. I figured out pretty quickly that that wasn't allowed I find that with my long posts, if I cut them down, eventually they go through. I might be wrong here. Essentially, I'd like my posting privileges upped so I can fully engage on the forum

Perhaps I am not allowed to post in the want-to-hire section? I am really looking for freelance workers and looking to discuss advanced methods of automating SEO.

Maybe its one of the sections you need 50 posts.

See thats the thing. Is there a page which outlines what my limits are? I haven't advertised any services at all or posted anything remotely spammy, but my posts have been kinda long and when I cut them short they go through. What counts as a "newbie" here? Is there anyway to fast-track this process or am I just stuck trying to post to 50. I don't want to race there, I want to post good quality posts instead at my own pace

There are no short cuts at BHW.....
but if its THAT important to you..
then become a DONOR ...

i'm sure most of these limits will be lifted

 

[Windmill]

See thats what I'm talking about

There is the $97 donor thing. Not only do I not want to be paying $97 for a new forum, but I also don't meet the VIP qualifications. I see there is another donor thing. Is there are set amount I need to donate to get these limitations lifted and show I'm not a spammer?

I'm finding it annoying that I have to make 15 posts before I can send a PM! I need to send one now so I'm going to have to make 10 random posts. This is too many, I dont want to clog up BHW with pointless ramblings

your join date also counts as to when certain restrictions are lifted, as you have only just joined I think it is 30 days and 50 posts, so you still have to hit the 30 days

Me too feel something like this as i am also a new bie hare.

 

[kristel]

it means 30 days and 50 posts.

 

[Slownoris]

I've been around for two years. I guess I don't talk much.

I think best idea for not facing such kind of problem is not to put URLs in your post.

I second that, even am having some limits and can't post any URL yet

 

[ssri06]

I am new here. are certain forums posting restricted to newbies? as in cannot reply to posts?

 

[Sleinad]

Hmm...gotta say I think the 15 post count to send PM's is a little stupid, but I see why its been done.

Maybe just making it so people can only REPLY to PM's even if they have lower than 15 posts?

 

[rich0385]

you should definitely be able to at least reply to pms when you have less than 15 posts.

 

[headiez247]

I am cool with requiring certain number of posts before you can PM, to prevent obvious spamming of forum members. Also this is very common on all legit forums.

What I DONT get, and think is really dumb, is the fact that they even limit the posts you make.

I just tried to respond to a legit question. I took 10 minutes typing out three paragraphs and then I get the "your post wasn't approved and assumed to be spam, but hey if you pay us $97 we'll lift it."

That is just retarded.

So you want us to use short, pointless answers?


What's funny is the filter isn't even made properly.

I posted a 1 line answer then just went back and edited my post and was able to put the rest of my paragraphs in lol.

I couldn't find the post that explains this dumb policy or how many short posts need to be made before we can write what we want. I guess I'm down to spam this site with one liners, it just seems like a waste.

I have been looking for a thread where all the requirement are posted but was not able to find one. I think the admin should have done this so as to enable newbies know what requirement they need to meet before they can do what.

i really dont think its anything to do with post length like you think, its to do with certain words! the filters are very sensitive to certain words, sometimes when i write a large reply it will get blocked but it has nothing to do with how big the reply is its to with a word in my reply, the most frustrating part is that it can be a word that you would never think would be filtered, they are very sensitive a bit too sensitive, but hey thats the price you got to pay for such a well run forum!
