Its to stop ppl from turbo posting to read their private msg's or get into chat..it used to happen all the time, this was the only way admin could curtail that, hope that explains that for ya :)
 
As a former member of overgrow, and an active member of the shroomery I think 5 minutes between posts is a bit much. One per minute is more reasonable. I guess I'll lurk more than anything...

Agreed this sucks, as well as the 50 post minimum and 10 post per 24hrs, I understand they may have a fear of bots but I'm on a few other sites and have never seen this problem. I recieved a PM when I arrived here and am still in the process of getting my 50 min. so I can access it ?!! It's quite frustrating, and has turned me off an otherwise good site. I've been doing a cut and paste welcome in the intro thread to build my post numbers??? I don't think this is what the admin wanted but I'm a bit peeved and I feel they have turned me into what they are trying to avoid ...a post bot.!? ..... Well here's 46 PS. see you in 5

Hey Lemonhead! How ya been ;) ;)...

Yeah, my vote says that it's a P.I.T.A.......For me to post 50 remotely valuable posts in order to read my PMs is pretty crappy, and is gonna take more time than I have atm

Funkin' ACE!

Well I've deleted all your copy & pasted posts
we have rules about that, see here http://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=280


15. Effective immediately (May 16, 2007) there is a minimum post count of 50 required prior to being able to send/receive private messages. Those who attempt to circumvent the minimum post count by turbo posting, or making posts with no worthwhile contribution, will have their posts deleted; repeated turbo posting will result in banning. Effective immediately (May 18, 2007) due to multiple violations and disrespect of forum guideline #15, members circumventing this policy (for example turbo posting...or posting text of little to no content, or duplicate posts) will have their post count reset to zero by admin as a warning. Repeated posting to circumvent policy will result in banning.
 
Oh well. You dont sound like an ass, so feel free to visit any one of my threads. I've got a couple new pics up as well, so tell me what you think!

PEACE!

i think its good, a max of 10 post per day. with a 50 for private message. it prevents some people from being in every thread every 5 mins starting stuff u know. Good stuff i say. i really cant stand any of the other Mary Jane boards. ICMAG is top notch stuff
