Restricting commenting has me more concerned that restricting upvoting. At full mana, new accounts can only comment twice to completely deplete mana. So that is 1 post and 1 comment over 5 days (assuming it takes 5 days to fully recharge). If the new user is also upvoting then we are talking about 1 comment every 5 days.
Increasing the RC budget by 10 would be a huge improvement but still very limiting. I believe we need to encourage as much engagement as possible from new users. Most people will not want to invest immediately but rather get familiar with the platform before committing to investing. I took several months before I bough my first 10,000 Steem.
Steem Inc could consider increasing free delegation of SP to new accounts to help them out.
I just responded to 6 posts no upvotes, my voting mana rose from 44% to 50%.
Commenting on this post will no doubt lower my resource credits. Is this how the resource credits are supposed to work?
My vote power was at 50% last night after two days after the upgrade.
Some people like myself were very involved on the steemit platform. Investing time every day. If this cant be fixed some people will move on to do other things to try to generate positive returns.
Restrictions on commenting is Purgatory.
