It's not the 5 posts that bothers me, it's the 4 hours. I've been on here for over a week and have only logged 2 hours 22 minutes. As a marketing professional, I believe 4 hours not only cuts out spammers, but also cuts out many legitimate prospects who get too frustrated with the limits and decide to move on.

An hour, hour and a half.. sure, but four hours? That's going to take me weeks to get!

You are looking in a wrong place. 13 hours is your total time.
BarryB is telling the truth. He has only 3 hours in more than a week.

Conclusion: 4 hours are too much. And 5 posts are useless spam. Wouldn't it be better if newbies could just solve some "captchas"?
