- **TL0 users are subject to “first day” limits** after account creation. These are:
  - `max_topics_in_first_day` (default: 3)
  - `max_replies_in_first_day` (default: 10)These restrict the number of topics/replies a user can make in the **first 24 hours after their first post**. Afterward, these limits no longer apply.

- **Per-topic restrictions for TL0:**
  - `newuser_max_replies_per_topic` (default: 3) — Maximum replies allowed by a new user in a single topic before someone else responds. This is to prevent topic spamming, not overall posting.

- **No overall or permanent cap on total posts for TL0 users**. After the initial “first day” period, TL0 users are governed by general site-wide limits (`max_topics_per_day` etc.), not a TL0-specific hard cap.
