Ask HN: how many posts a day is OK to submit on HN?

6 pointsby itsybaevabout 12 years ago
Hello, hackers. Could you advise if there's any limit on number of posts that can be submitted daily? Sometimes I submit 10-15 posts a day (mostly news), so curious if I can be banned for overposting.

You made an account 18 days ago and you're posting 10-15 posts a day? Maybe you should try to get involved in the community a bit.<p>I consider HN a place to talk about news. Not post it. You post it if you happen to be the one who found something interesting. I can't imaging you're finding 15 news stories a day on your own that are worth reading unless your goal is to just post stuff on HN.

I've posted 2 or 3, maybe as many as 4, in the same day before. But it's pretty uncommon. While it may not be a written rule, the unstated sense of etiquette here seems to be to avoid posting just for the sake of posting, or for the sake of gaining karma gratuitously.

Looking at your profile, there are 48 submissions counting this one. Over 18 days, that's not unreasonable considering that they often are receiving upvotes and several have generated meaningful comment threads.<p>I tend to submit articles in clusters, so I suspect that it is not an uncommon pattern. So long as your submissions are not getting heavily flagged you should be ok. If you find yourself banned, take a few weeks break and work on your comments.

Measure the community's appreciation on the upvotes your submissions get. No upvotes? Don't post articles like those, since the community doesn't want them. Lots of upvotes? Post more like those, since the community wants them.

Ah! Yes, very soon, you may be banned for overposting. Then you will only be allowed to submit two or three posts a day! That is what happened to me.

Posts a day? I'd say only one a day MAX, although I have no idea what the real number is.<p>If you're posting 10-15 a day, go outside and get a hobby.
