He's obviously an egotist. Either that, or he's a sentient T-shit with social anxieties, limiting his human interaction to online discussions.

It's only until you have 15 posts. It's to help prevent spam from spambots that were being a real nuisance. It sucks that measures that affect ordinary users have had to be implemented, but the spam was getting out of control. It shouldn't take long to reach the 15 post threshold and then you'll be able to post to your heart's content.

Sadly I think the users that are not spambots, who want to spam, are just gonna do it when then finally go past 15 posts. 
But at least it's a start!

Seems like paid members shouldn't have the restriction.  I doubt there are any spam bots that are going to pay for the privilege.

When new people create profiles, they should be automatically informed the reasoning for the limit and that it's only for new users. I'm assuming they're uninformed due to this topic coming up once a month or so.

That's what I was thinking. There should be a bar on their profile with a little exclamation mark by it that tells them this. Probably in the works. ...And who's to say the OP didn't just miss it.

That, my friends, is why you should give Infamous the banhammer.
