Do anyone know?
Seriously do you think that someone can write 10 or more posts a day and do you think that those posts will still be quality enough? For some people even one post a day is too much because when you care then being a blogger is actually a pretty hard work.
Why do people that actually care has to be in a disadvantage over someone who is just amassing posts for rewards mostly through his self-votes and also through one or two rich whales?
Another true fact is that if you do more than 10 posts a day and you self-vote all of them then you actually don't have any power to use for people you follow and for people on steemit in general.
It's a shame and I think it's time to choose a side.
I even struggle to do one a day!

I miss the good, old 4 posts a day-rule these days. It really helped prevent a lot of spam, and very few genuine authors goes above 4 posts a day anyway.

It’s important to remember that Steem is not Steemit, and restrictions on posting limits, rewards, etc. need to occur on the Steem blockchain level, not just on the Steemit website.
Right now I could make 2 Steemit blogs, 4 Zaps on Zappl, post a couple videos to dTube, update my project on Utopian, start a new thread on ChainBB, share a couple photos on Steepshot, livestream a game session on dLive, and wind down the day with a mindless meme or two on dMania.
That’s 15 posts to the Steem blockchain. The ability to have a unified account across all these sites is a key feature.
Likewise, it’s also important to not judge the quality of content based on the format of Steemit.com. Steemit has so far made no effort to filter posts originating at other sites, they’re just pulling the whole blockchain. Consider when you see an image with a short description or a short post that it may have originated from someone in the Steepshot or Zappl community.
Post limits are also ineffective at stopping abuse. They have no resistance to “Sybil” attacks where an affected user will simply make multiple accounts to maximize profit. They also do nothing to stop reward farming from shifting more to comments instead.
I don’t see any good reasons to reinstate a post limit.

Very interesting thoughts. Thank you.
On the other hand, I like what @valth wrote: Keep in mind that you could just as easily create a fifth, a sixth and however many posts you liked, but you got less reward for each new post after post number 4. So there was no censorship, just a way to prevent some users to post 20 posts a day and still get full upvotes on all of them.

While that sounds ok on the surface, it only punishes users utilizing the system properly. For those users creating posts and comments simply to provide self upvote targets, it’s a trivial matter to just create a ring of accounts to get around a post or rewards cap and negate any penalties.

I think the 10 post limit was more than fair.

Yeah 10 posts a day is pretty wild. I mean a few people hit it while maintaining quality, but then there are some users that post really low level stuff with it too. I've never hit more than 5 posts in a day. If you have the extra time to write, then I say people should be using it to engage with others!

Straight to the point.
Go-go-go, post farmers! Make your job.
Original authors, where are you? I can't find your posts under tons of this shit.

I am absolutely agree with you.. One post a day is good for creating something nice and special.

I see what you are getting at and I had this discussion with another Steemian earlier today. I agree that 10 posts a day will not be an extraordinary amount of quality. I cannot say, however, that I agree with any sort of censorship. If a blogger can post 10 (or any other arbitrary number) garbage posts in one day but has another thought that would make number 11 then that person should not be silenced even for one minute. This may be an unpopular stance but this is their platform just as it is ours.
On a bright note, the whale that is sponsoring the troll had to buy Steem at sometime so they raised the demand which in turn raised the price and the rest of our accounts rose in value. As long as they are not violating the rights of anyone else then I do not have a problem with their preferred Steemit habits.

Hi, @superdavey. Keep in mind that you could just as easily create a fifth, a sixth and however many posts you liked, but you got less reward for each new post after post number 4.

That sounds reasonable. I guess I was only thinking in absolutes. I agree that too much becomes watered down and loses its value. Reducing payouts to those who abuse the system sounds like a great way to encourage quality over quantity. Thanks for this angle!

Yeah, it wasn't too bad at all. Most people never noticed, but a vocal minority did a lot of complaining about it, so it was removed.

The limit was four, and surprisingly yes there are people who are able to post over ten times a day and still have quality content. I wish I were one of those, I just manage one or two a day. Yes, it is possible some people abuse and take advantage of this and just use the no limit rule to be able to upvote themselves nearly without limit.

To be honest lots of people post for rewards..that is not even the problem..the problem is,people post very low quality stuffs..even If you post for rewards and still post quality stuffs,then there wouldn't be any problem
