Having a few consecutive posts every now and then when you don't have a paid sig isn't a big deal, but PG/GG does it habitually. The issue with this is that it unfairly bumps topics (like bumping a topic more than once per 24 hours) and it spams "watchlist", "show unrelad posts since last visit", etc.
Indeed. While it is technically 'against the rules', we don't usually punish people which aren't signature campaign participants for breaking this rule; at least not until there have been multiple cases of abuse.
Come on, you got off easy because you're Gleb - admit it!

Very easy. Such short bans are not a common sight.
I would strongly encourage the moderation team to increase the consecutive post limit to above "one" especially when there is not a clear case of paid post padding and to be very liberal when enforcing this rule, especially with those without a paid signature.
There's no need to do that. Unless you have a habit of making consecutive posts, you will not get punished for making them occasionally (if you are not a signature campaign participant or have no other incentive to make them).
