In case you don't read news

You really should.

This doesn't really affect me, but I know some people who would be affected by it.

Remember, though. It's just number of new posts. Not edited posts. Not comments. New posts.

If there was anyone who surpassed the Paid Account limit on my friend's list, I'd probably remove them. x_x That would be insane.

And most everyone on my list doesn't even come close to the Free User limit (the initial one or the proposed higher one).

My first opinion: Communities should not be included in individual post limits, but should have their own set of (higher) post limits.

My second opinion: Time limit how frequently you can make a new post. 1 post every 10 minutes would be enough to get rid of any spambot problems.

My third opinion: Time limit how frequently a Friends page updates. 1 update per hour should be sufficient.

My fourth opinion: Reduce the maximum viewable posts on a given page. Reduce the timeframe one can backtrack before the Friends page ends. Reduce the timeframe one can backtrack before the Day view kicks in.

I'm also of the opinion that Paid Accounts should not be limited in posts per day. However, if you have a "10 minute window" for Free Users, reduce the Paid User window to 5 minutes or something.

dealing with reality

I was forced to come to a revelation this month. It was something that had been stewing in the back of my mind all last year, but I pushed it away because I was able to convince myself it wasn't the case. There was no real concrete way for me (in all my active laziness) to prove it was true, but there was just enough leeway for me to ignore it.

And I bet you that it isn't what you think it is.

This big revelation? It's pretty simple.

I'm well off.

( Not what ya thought it would be, is it? ;-) )
