I don't understand this new upload limit formula. Can someone explain?
Base upload limit: 10 for new users, increases by 10 each month up to 50 at 4 months old.
Deletion confidence: statistical chance this user's uploads will be deleted, based on uploads from the past 4 months.
At 0% chance of deletion this has no negative effect, the user gets the full effect of their base upload limit.
At 15% or more chance of deletion they get the maximum penalty, which is reduces their upload limit to 10 (the absolute minimum upload limit). Between 0% and 15% it scales, giving them somewhere between 10 and their base upload limit.
Also, upload limits no longer care how many of your posts are pending, it's a limit per day. So with 10 upload limit you can only upload 10 posts a day now, regardless of how quickly those 10 get approved.
On your profile it shows:
(50 * 0.65) - 9 = 24
50: base upload limit, you're at least 4 months old
0.65: how much of your base you can use. if you had no deleted posts it would be 1.00 (you can use all 50). If you have 15% or more deleted posts it would show 0.00 (you can use the bare minimum 10).
9: Posts you uploaded today.
24: How much you can still upload today.
