You have to wait 6 minutes between posts and can only send 5 PMs per hour which makes it extremely difficult to conduct business, especially when you have close to 4,000 PMs in your inbox. It drops to 74 seconds when you have 15 activity and 60 seconds with 60 activity and still have severely restrictive PMs limits.
So, let me get this straight, a brand new bitcointalk user has has 4,000 PMs? ohyou.gif
Obviously not, but when you receive 4k PM's over 10ish months then you will have a lot of periods when you need to send many more then 5 PM's per hour.
Most deals do not involve someone asking for a payment address on the 1st PM, most involve asking a number of questions and a good amount of back and forth negotiation. If you are limited to 5 PM's per hour then it would easily take two hours to get a deal done and that is assuming that the only people that ever PM you end up actually trading with you
You can earn .0015 per post with a hero account so you could make .6 per month by making 400 posts which is not unrealistic
