He mentioned that he didn't add his email address to his account which could be why his account is limited, to which he said he was not willing to give up because he's had "enough spam already." Just use a fake one.
I'm starting to see the absurdity of this post.

It certainly is absurd to ask some simple questions which could be answered numerically for the most of them ... and then people go into some kind of field day to judge my character based on digging through 10s (!!!) of my comment history pages of 600 comments (someone said that number here, I didn't even know, did they write a script to compute it?), to judge my "emotional investment", and to judge me for not wanting to hand out my phone number to email providers, and finally they block my post by "flagging" it so it won't be seen by the moderation team and won't get an actual answer.
It could have been as simple as telling me "The limit is N posts per M minutes", but no, we must have some kind of public character execution instead.
To find out anyone's posts count just tap on their name and then the 'comments' link - here you go:

You asked why you were limited, I wanted to provide some opinion as you didn't seem to be aware of any reason that you might be.
Thanks.
For context, here is your original comment:
> If you look back at the GPs comments you can see some that were flagged/closed recently, a few that were downvoted and also a good number of threads that turned into meta threads with others posters that get downvoted. So looks like someone who has been targeted for limiting or additional moderation.
Talking about me in the 3rd person in a subthread (I am here, would you talk about someone in the 3rd person if they are in the same room standing next to you?), to purport vague, unproven statements, which IMHO are exaggerated, and which imply that I'd be someone who "had it coming" is not really "providing" something here, at least not providing help IMHO.
It's rather feels like condescending gossip and badmouthing to me.
I was asking for the numerical limits, not judgement of my character.
But to be honest, I am appalled by the attitude of the comments in this thread as a whole, so take what I say to you personally with a grain of salt, it is biased by the condescending behavior of the other people in here.
