Why Are We Now So Restricted In What Kind Of Comments We Can Share AND Are Being Charged Points For

there are some possible reasons for these changes:

Reducing Spam & Low-Quality Comments— Many platforms enforce stricter comment rules to prevent spam, self-promotion, or irrelevant content. APSense might be aiming to keep discussions more meaningful and professional.
Encouraging Engagement & Activity – The points system may be designed to reward genuine contributions while discouraging excessive or repetitive commenting just for visibility.

Hey Wincer, do you really feel it's better not to give mature grown ups free expression? There are surely better ways to deal with this issue and promote more open communication, don't you think ... :)

It would be a lot of spamming content posted on APSense community without these limits.

... it's a clueless way to connect people into an active community! :)
