This was done to prevent post count inflation. We currently don't have plans to change it back.

Yet I've seen mods, I'll not name who, circumvent it.

Before you begin to doubt me, I've seen the mod post something, then a few seconds later post a separate post in the same thread but the post was not separated by a line; instead, the content was posted in an entirely new post.
