It stops users from flooding a sub, and more importantly it stops a sub from flooding /v/all. I'm pretty sure the quota is 3 per hour. If you're hitting that often, try branching out to smaller but similar subs. For example, I posted to /v/gaming a lot and didn't want to constantly flood the sub, so I started posting in subs like /v/3DS, /v/VirtualReality, /v/IndieGames, /v/GameDeals, etc, and only cross-posting the most interesting things to /v/gaming.

Alternatively, if you're interested in a specific subverse and keep hitting the quota, ask if you can be added as a level 2 mod to that subverse. I don't believe mods are exempt from the cap, but the cap is higher in case they mod a sub that requires more frequent meta posts or the like.

Yes for the not flooding /v/all.

Also yes for posting to smaller subs that need content.

I'm pretty sure it's three per hour on a per subverse basis for all subs. There's a higher cap for moderators on subs they're moderating, but I don't know what that is. There's also a daily limit on a per sub basis, but I don't know what that is either, just that I've hit it once or twice since I've been here.

That's all. Made a bad post, deleted it, then tried to re-post, and got the notification.

Most users won't because it's on a per sub basis. I post a hell of a lot sometimes but I spread my posts out across many subs so I don't usually hit it.

I run a sub and that was only a problem in the first month for me. After 30 days was up I can post however many times I want. Which is good because I am pretty much the only one posting
