What is the total number of Post in a day and a week? Because because there was a day I discovered myself that I could not post any thread in this forum for about some minutes. That is why I want to know the total number of Post, so I can maintain my thread number.

There is no total number of posts for a week or day. There is just a wait time between posts, sort of like a cool down time to stimulate users to read more then they post. Here is how it is calculated based on your activity;
The higher your activity, the shorter the time.

---

Note; other actions like searching and sending PM's count as a post. So if your used the search engine, you'll have to wait for a while before making a reply.

No problem about posting none since it will be good if you focus on reading then next to it is posting. If you are devoting your time on reading useful threads and absorbing it then its much better than posting.

Only in signature campaign required such number of post cause it is incentives. No rules about getting ban or some sort of penalty if you didnt post for certain days, week or how long you can post.

I never had the problem of not being able to post because I had to wait, even when I was a newbie. It probably happens quite a lot to newbie shitposters, although in this case I have looked at the OP's post history and he doesn't seem to be. I guess it would be a coincidence of writing two posts very fast and he got the message about having to wait.

Okay so I understand that the higher your activity is the shorter your waiting or post interval would be. But by looking at the code, and substituting my current activity count which is 1106, the waiting time gives me a negative value for >= 15 and >= 60


Should I take the negative as an equivalent for a longer period of waiting time? Or I am just taking the code literally..

Negative means you're allowed to post that many comments at the same time, no more no less  :D jk of course.

No, simply put the waiting time is calculated for the highest bracket your activity fits into, in this case >=100 and the result of course is 4 seconds, which is the minimum limit for almost all of us unless you get special treatment from theymos.

The code is not written in it’s most efficient form. With your Activity, 1106, the code will set the value of the variable waittime four times, each replacing the prior value as it cascades through the code, and ending up with a value of 4 (seconds).

The code would be more efficient (although it barely makes a dent really) by using a case structure or an if then else type structure, which would set the variable to a given value only once with any given Activity value.

Don't count your posts and only write posts when you have convincing reasons to do it with intention to contribute something for discussions. If you count your posts, you will keen to make shit posts.

In the forum, there are campaigns with pay per week or pay per post. It's hard to say what type is better in terms of less spamming on the forum. It depends on campaign managers and posters. Spam posters will do spam if campaign managers are not strict when counting eligible posts for payment.

• Signature Campaign Guidelines (read this before starting or joining a campaign) (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1684035.0)

Coold down period between two post is already mentioned in the above replies but I want to remind you something even logging in will count towards it so if you keep logging in and out in between that 360 seconds you can't post anything so wait for few minutes before submitting it. But usually it will take atleast few minutes to write something which contribute to the discussion so it won't count towards spam but there are few exceptions.

You don't need to push yourself to make a post every day because sometimes reading and understanding each thread you can get important information that can be used in your future reply or thread. Sometimes pushing without having quality content or help to the discussion is not healthy to a thread. Most of the member have the signature campaigns so they need to qualify to the designated post counts.

I will agree with this statement as a newbies or let say as a developer or a learner its better to manage your time and spend more in reading and garhering knowledge than posting anything without value inorder to move your Activity fast.. And like they said above that the more the activity you have the big chance of lower the time interval to your next post.

Yeah that should be true, although I haven't been through something like that before but I think it's applicable to the search engines too; as your activity increases, your frequency to search or post also does too. It isn't really advisable to start many topics all in one day as this will only litter the forum up and since the forum has a short memory, it will limit the possiblity of learning from good threads and thereof: meriting the ones that deserves it.

For newbies, it is generally considered that you need time to grow and understand how the forum works before you can engage fully, that is the reason why as a newbie you can't post as you like. it is both so you can learn first and for caution. As a true newbie, for a while you should spend more time observing the forum for like a week before you begin to share your POV and create topics, this is ideal to me.

thanks for providing this information and providing a link about it.
Actually I was looking for what this signature means and how it works and I now found what I was looking for
because indeed I am still confused by things like this so indeed by searching directly sometimes it is very difficult to find because I still don't know where it is

Is that real production code? Where can I find it?
I am not a programmer, but this code looked so weird and inefficient to me, so I was just wondering if it was just an example, or it is possible to actually look at the production code of the forum.

Yes, it is.
It was posted by theymos some time back for members to use to calculate their cool down time;

Signature campaign should not be reason you join the forum and stay here. There are more things than that and knowledge is the most valuable thing you will learn from the forum community. Then, it will be your turn to contribute to the community with your knowledge and experience.

• Signatures on the forum are created by BBcode which you can learn from above topic. Each forum member rank has different character limits so will have different visual sets of signature

I don’t believe that the code is available. It looks more like (My)SQL code (https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/if.html) than BBCode (https://hotexamples.com/es/examples/-/bbcode/-/php-bbcode-class-examples.html), which would even make it less likely to be around.

It’s likely to be real code, although not necessarily: it could simply be a draft extract from a longer procedure, custom trimmed/edited to focus on the part than one wants to display, and omitting code that one wants to be left private.

Yes, I understand because from the beginning my purpose for being here was also not for that but of course there is nothing wrong with doing the same thing as other people are doing too.
I tend to be new to this kind of thing and am still looking for and learning the ins and outs of bitcointalk, including in terms of signatures.
Btw this is the link I need right now, thanks guys :D
I still need to learn a lot now because indeed I was confused while I was only looking at the beginner forum but it turns out that there are still many things I haven't seen such as in services, meta etc/

I haven't seen where it is written on this forum, the number of posts to post in a day. You can decide to post as you like, but make sure your post is on point based on the post topic discussion. Forcing yourself to post on every given post will end you up commenting gibberish.
This forum is a discussion thread where different ideas, knowledge, questions and answers are being treated about crypto.

There is no number of post a week or day, you can post as much as you can it just that their is a waiting time between post, just like going through the messages properly before replying.

That's right, you can post as many times as you want during 24x7 but there's only waiting time between posts. Meanwhile you have a limit on the number of PMs you can send per hour or per day which may be different for each number of your current activity.

Here's a quote from theymos about PM limits.

There is no specific amount of post a member should be writing every day. Post count depends on what interests you to write on, forcing one self to write some certain amount of post can be stressful and it will definitely make one to write on rubbish.
