Due to a user who has been excessively spamming news articles and videos with an advertisement and coming back as a new user sometimes several times a day to do so (even after IP bans), the staff of Comic Vine have instated a post limit on new accounts (and as it appears, old ones as well). There is a post limit of five posts per day until your account has over fifteen posts.

@thegreatfour: It was one person who was coming back as multiple accounts. He's done it over thirty times.

Considering how persistent this user has been, it is no wonder that Comic-Vine is doing this. I just hope it is temporary though.

@DaggerKlutz: I think it's until they can come up with a permanent way to get rid of him. It's not too bad, though.

When I just started reading this, I thought there was a pre-determined number of posts and once you reach that, you're account is terminated. Phew. Yeah, spammers, trolls and other internet d-bags should be smitten from the face of the earth.... or... the internet. Whatever. Anyway, I applaud the CV staff for taking this measure to block these guys out.

Until an account has over fifteen posts you can only post five times a day.

@Marcus_Korah: I had the problem on my Kingsley Kaine account, you may have noticed in the early pages of the Walking Dead OOC. What sucked was that he wasn't even a new account, just an old one I dug up.

Luv CV, luv what they do, hate this f'n post limit. I'd rather have to run around and catch spammers then post five times a day until reaching 15 plus posts.
