In recent years, automated search efforts such as LINEAR or LONEOS have discovered so many thousands of new asteroids that the CSBN has officially limited naming to a maximum of two names per discoverer every two months.
近幾年來，自動搜尋的高效率，使得像是LINEAR或LONEOS都已經發現數以萬計新的小行星，所以CSBN限制這些大量的發現者每兩個月最多只能命名兩顆小行星。
