I doubt that the posting quota will be limited to a particular context. Unfortunately, the system would still be vulnerable to abuse if this were the case.

He'd say they're all over the place. I'd say show me one. It was in the form of a dialogue. I got PBC'd for harassment (I also go blocked in the ensuing discussion, but after I checked the archives, I can see I started with a PBC with respect to the repeated questioning). I don't think I did anything wrong then, and I don't now.
I remember the incident, but I don't remember the exact text of the reasons cited for sanction. Perhaps Dr. Bob's thoughts on the matter have evolved since. He may have made a mistake.
