However, in order to not penalize brand new players, everybody needs to be given 100 free posts not tied to any paragon levels. 100 posts is more than enough to ask a whole bunch of questions and get technical issues resolved. By levelling to 100 (an extremely easy task), new players can easily double their allowed post count.
I feel that this will greatly increase the overall quality of posts on the forums. It makes people think more carefully about what they post, rather than spam out a single barely cohesive sentence and be done with it, and it rewards active players who, due to their playtime, are hopefully more knowledgeable of whatever subject matter they are discussing.
