Oh snap I had forgotten all about that.

Can you refresh my memory, how did that rule go?

I can't even remember the reason why the site had to implement it.

So, I believe you were permitted to post one image, in one post, on one thread, in a single day.

The conflict stemmed from moderators who would literally power trip over this stupid rule, and it ultimately led to some content creators being banned and/or leaving the site.

On top of that, that's when they started to force content creators to go behind the paywall to post their content. Subscription numbers actually plummeted.

Yes, the BEA forum appears to be closer to its previous responsiveness.

Yes, when the BEA shifted more items (some previously free) to behind pay walls there was an impact.

Yes, the early BEA was rather different than what one sees today. Much more BE than now. Also, much less support and discussion of all manner of BE.

I will say that the whole 1-image, 1-post, 1-day thing has never seemed to be a real problem as the VAST MAJORITY (like 93.75%) of users do not post any images.

Well, now that it appears to be working a bit better. Let's go see if we can make it a bit more like the good-old-days.

I agree that not many people were affected by the rule, and the issues didn't really stem from the rule at all, just how it was enforced. It honestly should have been a software/server side restriction and not something that needed to be policed by real people. The way the mods would aggressively go after people who also were the biggest content providers was kind of insane.

I was curious has the Moderator scene at the Bearchive calmed down? I heard they could be swarm at a moments notice.

But in all seriousness, I remember some time ago where a 'disagreement' from there followed someone else to another BE type forum.

When I was still active I had a silly little habit of checking out the 'Banned' section on the general forum. Some of the reads were quite epic.
