| + | ====== Third-Party Message Board Restrictions ====== | ||
| + | Message board posts must contain four or fewer links to live charts. Message boards that violate this policy repeatedly will be blocked. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Reasons for the policy: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * New posts on popular message boards can generate huge, spikey loads on our servers. | ||
| + | * When faced with a "wall of charts" many people just scroll past them - but our servers still have to draw them, thus much of the load on our servers is unnecessary. | ||
| + | * By breaking up the "wall of charts" into groups of 4, the load on our servers is much less spikey and spread around more evenly. | ||
