I’m getting the following error:

No more than 3 consecutive replies are allowed. Please edit your previous reply instead, or wait for someone to reply to you.

when trying to reply to Title Tournament Announcements . Is there any way for me to add more replies to the post?

Either this has changed recently or @Shadowmonk knows something that we don’t.

Hello friend @gamesorry . Maybe I know the reason why this rule is in place. There was a certain user (whom I will not name) who was very keen on hijacking entire threads with dozens of posts at a time (and also very prone to deny it, in-your-face evidence notwithstanding). Fortunately, that user has since been banned from the forums, but I can only assume that they put this kind of fail safe just in case.

Anyway, sorry for not giving much support to the cause, but at least I’ll make sure to hover around your thread and make sure to post a placeholder response to avoid this kind of limitation.

I’m getting this error too when posting to Go World News. Is there a way to bypass this?

Yes, edit your posts to add more content

It can be done in threads like this with no issues. Are there some exceptions to this rule?

You don’t get blocked on threads that you create. Another workaround is asking discobot to make a fluff post.

I currently know how to do the following things:

@discobot start {name-of-tutorial}

Starts an interactive tutorial just for you, in a personal message. {name-of-tutorial} can be one of: tutorial, advanced tutorial.

@discobot roll 2d6

Invoking a bot to spam a thread with junk so that you can post meaningful content which would otherwise be blocked by a spam policy is pretty ironic.

Actually I don’t understand this logic. You can’t “spam” threads created by others but you can “spam” your own threads. But then you can’t create threads that already exist, so you can’t “spam” on a topic that other people started even if you have a lot to contribute.

Yeah it’s a bit weird. Not sure why discourse made it this way :man_shrugging:
