I understand where you are coming from. We wanted the limits to be very low.
We only want to prevent spammers from posting anything.
Spammers typically register one day then come back another day and post between 1 and 5 spam messages. If we lower the limit, then these messages would appear until found and removed.
It is tough to balance between allowing legit members to post and preventing spam.
