Why did I get a message saying that I have reached my post limit? 

Members with less than 50 posts are limited to 10 posts per day. This limitation is in place to reduce spam posts and excessive poor posting in the forum. Within 24 hours of reaching 50 posts the restriction will automatically be lifted.

Alternatively, members with less than 50 posts are limited to three threads per day. This means that you may only start three new topics each day, until you surpass 50 posts on the forum.
