These are positive changes for me. No longer does a person have to make useless posts and waste useless time to post the question they originally wanted.

I see it as a fee for those who want to hide their identity (i.e. TOR) - most innocent users will not be affected by this, and scammers will have their bottom line increased by the new charges, protecting everyone.

Hmm.. not sure how I feel about it. The restrictions were annoying at first and most others shared that sentiment, but I also thought they were useful as did a lot of others. I guess we'll see what impact they had now that they've been lifted. Are the time limits between posts still effective or not?

so what is "activity" anyway? As opposed to post count. What is used to calculate the activity score?

Thanks, have wondered but seemed here was a good time to bring it up.

The activity number is determined in this way:
time = number of two-week periods in which you've posted since your registration
activity = min(time * 14, posts)

Activity is updated every 30 minutes.
