Zeev's Turnips Patch-No Politics (ZEEV)

[Bob Zumbrunnen]

Who sent you this message? Was it a PM? Was it a screen that you got when you tried to post a message? Do you know the text of it? Can you duplicate the condition that caused the message?

There are only 3 ways to get such a message:

1. A non-lifetime subscription that will expire in 5 days or less. A PM is sent as a reminder to resubscribe. From here, I can't tell if you were ever a subscriber, so I don't know whether or not you'd have gotten such a PM. I think the PM comes from an account called "Subscription Reminder" or something like that.

2. A free member exceeding 18 posts in a day. On each post, the system shows you how many times you've posted today and how many posts you have remaining. On the 19th, it'll tell you you've reached your limit for the day.

3. A free member trying to post to a board that either isn't about a specific stock or isn't in the Free Zone like Zeev's board is. The "off-topic" boards are subscriber-only.

There's a 4th way, but doesn't look like it would apply here. There's a bug in the system whereby if you start a post before midnight Eastern and finish it after midnight, your posts-today counter doesn't reset.

Got a message today that said if I want to post here

I would have to pay...

GOOD BYE!


Might the fact that you posted at least 3 times after getting that message indicate to you that you might've encountered a bug or one of the above conditions?
