    I was in the chatroom for episode 5 and I could hardly communicate because whenever I did it came up with a message saying 'This account has sent to many messages try again later'. I finally figured out this was because I was a guest account and had never bothered to sign up to livestream with an account.

    I understand this was to prevent trolls and spammers. But seriously warn us next time you do this and I would have signed up to Live stream before the episode started. This cause many of the comments I typed out to go to waste. Don't just drop these anti-spam measures out of nowhere, without letting people know how it will affect them.

    *Sigh* This is Livestream. Go and complain to them. It's simply pointless adding a warning message about this problem, because people will still get frustrated about it even when warned.

    Your supposed to make an account anyways. Depending on the stream.

    It's all basic common sense. If it won't let you post anymore, make an account. Then again for the EPR back then, I rarely used my LS account and just used the guest function with name changing.

    Whatever, I rather just watch new episodes with a couple friends rather than a whole flankload of ponies who just spam.

    Don't start pointing fingers if you don't know the circumstances.
    We never changed a thing, if there's been a change that is something Livestream did

    I can confirm this is absolutely nothing to do with EPR, it's entirely down to protocols implemented by Livestream which until now, even we had no knowledge of. :/
    Sorry if it's proven a pain, just sign up for an account and the limitation on messages won't be as strict.
