shermanator 3 #26 February 16, 2008 I'd like to see a weekly limit as apposed to daily. but, it is a good idea.CLICK HERE! new blog posted 9/21/08 CSA #720 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nigel99 144 #27 February 18, 2008 As someone else said it is a good idea. If feasible a weekly limit would be better as it would enable people who come in less frequently to "catch up" with posts. I think that the non-bonfire/sc threads should have a much higher limit as there are non-mods who often have alot of good idea input. Finally I think it is fair that premier members get a higher post allocation.Experienced jumper - someone who has made mistakes more often than I have and lived.

flyhi 24 #28 February 19, 2008 Like the limit. 20 is too high. Daily is good. "Use it or lose it" is good. No carryover. Just throwing ideas out, starting a thread counts as two? Anything along these lines would make forums more relevant, and slow down on the drivel.Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

nigel99 144 #29 February 19, 2008 Quote Like the limit. 20 is too high. Daily is good. "Use it or lose it" is good. No carryover. 20 per day is way to high if enforced daily. I agree use it or lose it policy would work best - otherwise after a 2 week break someone could provide a flood of drivel. The problem with a low daily limit is that if you are off-site for a few days interesting topics may leave you wanting to post to a number of different posts. Starting a thread shouldn't count extra - but maybe a limit on the number of attachments?Experienced jumper - someone who has made mistakes more often than I have and lived.

dannydan 0 #30 February 24, 2008 Quote The recent post in the Bonfire seems to have had a positive effect, I have seen the difference already also. MODERATING is the key here, not limits! Must stay on top of it.... SKYBYTCH Quote I'm just as guilty of being one of those two or three people going on and on and on as anybody else. If there were a daily limit on my posts, I know I'd think twice before getting involved in another of those "debates." SELF CONTROL when the heats gets turned uP by HH and the rest of the mods... limits are not necessary! BOLAS is also correct in that BONFIRE/SC would not be the same if limits are placed... AGAIN a lil more work on the moderators part. That is the job of a MOD! HH; your rules are in place, you reiterated them again with your OPEN FORUMS thread, WE all have seen the drop in noise (although i have seen it go uP ever so slightly in the last week) but this is where the mods come in again. There are the MODs that give WARNINGs, you and your mods can delete threads as you all see fit and you have THE BAN weapon! Is there becoming too much work running a forum? I know there is alot of work running one, but MORE LAWS is not the answer.... I learned from the OPEN FORUMS thread, and so have others and there WILL be others that learn down the road!!!! ....and if WE dont learn with the FIRST WARNING, then BAN the perps whom are NOT listening to you and the mods! You already have all of the power right there at the server man.. Use that power that you have already established as opposed to writing new rules! Thanks for ALL of your alls HARD WORK here, I know it is not easy. I LOVE this place pretty much the way it is... peace and healty typeing:dd Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TomAiello 25 #31 February 25, 2008 I think that a better way to implement this idea would be to make it: a) applied on a "per user" basis--if you are a problem user, a moderator can limit your number of posts per day, and no one else needs to worry about it or; b) applied on a tighter time limit than "per day" like the "tarpitting" idea--you get reduced to one post per X minutes (so that folks who like to get on and spray all the forums with 60 useless posts in 10 minutes find themselves able to only make one post every 10 minutes) or; c) both of the above--moderators could choose to apply a limit of "x posts per x time" to users who were out of line, on a case by case basis, and the 99% of users who aren't doing that wouldn't ever have to worry about it.-- Tom Aiello [email protected] SnakeRiverBASE.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dannydan 0 #32 February 27, 2008 Tom... I remember seeing these ideas actually applied a few years back to help control "robot" posting.... Where a message was posted over and over again across an entire network of message boards.... In the end it worked! I agree with choice a) and or c) myself...... glad you brought this uP and kind kickin my butt here for not remembering that past.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
