I’m hoping that eventually Discourse AI can automatically detect spammy / problematic posts from new users, so that most tl0 and first-day limits could be relaxed.

I do think the system could be presented more clearly to new users, but —

1. Information overload at the beginning can be overwhelming and a barrier
2. Spammers are insideous, and putting limits up front gives a road map for skirting those limitations.

Personally, when I recognize someone or just plain have a sense that a new user is acting in good faith, I manually bump accounts to tl1. That doesn’t scale, of course, but… it’s something!
