Since auction house has a limit of 30b, we shop end game items mainly through discord/ forum, and discord #market server definitely plays a huge role in this.

When shopping through discord #market, I realize that some of the members "spamming" in the channel. Nobody shop by going through the chat one by one in my opinion, and I believe most of the people shop through searching the #market. In other words, posting multiple times a day wouldn't give you larger exposure but only making the searches flooded with one particular member who posts every 4 hours.

My English is not the best, so I will further elaborate my point in the following example:

Let's say I wanna buy tyrant hyades belt. I search through #market, and it gives me multiple pages of the same guy selling the same belt because he posted several times a day. By the time I saw the post of the next guy, who posted once every 2 days, it is already 3 or 4 pages away.

To make the searches cleaner, I suggest restricting each member to only post once a day in #market (or 18 hours so that we don't need to get back at exactly 24 hours to advertise). I'm not blaming those who post several times per day. My point here is that posting once per day is as efficient as posting several times a day, so why not implementing the restriction and make the searches cleaner.

I agree with the above suggestion, however current vanilla discord limitations only allow up to 6 hours for slow mode so I'd suggest 6 hours slow mode as a start and see how it goes? (This is in preparation for the influx of discord users posting on the channel when validation opens up in the future).

Approved.

Slowmode for the #market channel on Discord has been increased to 6h.
