The issue is not whether control should be used, but what level it should be set at. Anybody against restriction should not be voting for it to remain at 3 per day, but should be voting for the limit to be removed entirely. Since nobody has ever done this, to my knowledge, then it's evident that everyone believes control IS required, and as such should be democratically decided by the members. This isn't a case of Admins imposing some sort of draconian restriction on the site, it is simply a result of requests for change by some members. It has nothing to do with free stuff or forums, why would it?
