Wait how is it 240 first and then after spending 3.5 minutes it´s 411? There is a math error there.
There is no math error.
There are 60 minutes in a hour and 24 hours in a day. 24 * 60 = 1,440 minutes in a day.
The OP is a newbie with less then 16 activity (and will have less then 16 activity until the next activity period). Therefore the most he can post is once every 360 seconds, or once every 6 minutes.
1,440 / 6 = 240
If you were to assume that someone spends 3.5 minutes on each post then 1,440 / 3.5 = ~411.4285 so they would be working on their 412th post as the day ended.
If there is some flaw in my calculations then please kindly point it out to me.
Kind Regards

I don't think there's a calculation error, but it seems a little arbitrary to suggest that the person spend 210 seconds (3.5 minutes) on each post when the systme is going to require that they wait at least 360 seconds.
You're right that you can divide the day into approx 411 segments of 210 seconds each, but what stands out to me as weird is recommening that the person spend less time per post than they're actually allowed to spend.As you become a more established user, the time you must wait between posts will decline, however I would estimate that on average, you should spend no less then 3.5 minutes reading a thread and crafting a reply to such thread. This would put the maximum number of posts per day at approximately 411.
I've adjusted the limits to make spamming more difficult.
| Activity | Min. seconds between post actions | Max PM recipients | PMs per hour |
| 0 | 360 | 3 | 5 |
| 16 | 74 | 5 | 30 |
When you do not spend enough time on crafting your reply, and more importantly, carefully reading the thread you are replying to, there is a greater chance that you will miss the details of what is being said causing you to make statements that do not make sense.
Often times this results in users creating a brand new account, and creating a thread in meta questioning the reason why they were banned, and posting a screenshot of their account showing that they were banned for "
insubstantial posts + paid signature" often with either 14, 30 or 60 days next to this message indicating the length of their ban.
Based on some of the replies in this thread, I would not be surprised if some participants of this very thread were to take this very action.
