> Edit: errr, wait. This would mean unlimited griefing messages by new users against staff in private messages. No, that is not a good idea. Just increase your daily new user post limit in site settings if you run into this. The only sane way to do this would be to allow new users 1 reply (maximum) for each message they get from staff, which is too complex.

Actually I like the limit of 10 for topic replies. So what am I supposed to do, watch for any time that any staff replies to a user who is in their first day and raise the limit, then lower it again the next day?

Also, if a new user is looking to cause grief for the staff, that limit is only going to stop them for one day.
