What would this limit be?

limiting AP when you post,comment or rate like uhm... 300 ap a day? you can still post and so on but no ap

I think about 200-400, 400 is for merit makers and 200 is for posters.

well I've gotten up to 500AP but that doesn't mean that someone is capable of getting Higher. I would say 250-550.

I think that 300 a day is a reasonable amount.

I'm pretty sure this have been suggested before. But I can't find the old thread...

Honestly, this seems a bit unfair. Just because some people have time to make 100 forum posts and 100 comments in a day, why should they not be able to gain points...?

The con for this idea, is of course that it would discourage spammers.

But... I have earned 150 AP in one hour, by replying to a heavy load of profile comments. This happens rarely, but... I dunno, I'm really meh about this idea...

What would happen once those AP were earned? Would they not be able to post anymore for the day?

If you care enough about AP to care whether a few people who spend all their time on AG earning points gets those points, you care a little bit too much... It's just points. And spammers will be punished eventually.

well, it's just a way to prevent spam.

well a user said on another thread that he gained more than a 1,000 in a day

That doesn't stop spammers. That stops people from getting points. Plus there's no way to program this to not be a pain. What's it going to do? Sorry, you cannot post anymore comments. You have reached your daily limit of Armor Points. Or perhaps a mod tries to merit a comment or what will happen when a user reached 276 and a mod tries to merit a comment. Sorry, you cannot perform this action. This user has reached the daily limit of Armor Points.

Additionally, what would be the point of ranks/highscore? Everyone would shift upward by the same amount if they were on frequently enough, spammers and all. It might even encourage people to spam a little bit more to ensure they keep ahead and keep a ide margin, since I'm pretty sure the top ten don't go up by more than about 100 AP a day.

If you could still post but wouldn't gain anything from it, the whole idea of having a post count gets sort of ruined.

Besides discouraging those who really wanna get on the scoreboard and have tons of AP, I don't see anything good in this... Just programming trouble.

Like Zophia said, It would be unfair. Those who want to get alot of AP and be recognized by others would be realy low in the ranks.There are the Mods,Admin, and then there is the AG staff. That is about 10 People or even more, but that would also mean that All of our points would be cut in half if the AG Crew where the highest in points. Some of the AG crew are as low as a Squire.
