Limit new thread starts to 1 per day, per member?

awwwww :]

I like your gun.

But I disagree with your opinion, and reaffirm my request to limit inanity, and provide proper boundaries for enthusiastic youngsters, precociously testing their 'power over others' with excessive boring rhetoric....

Unless you really do like the 'young, dumb, and full of cum' kind of thing...

Personally, I'm now gone in spirit from this place, and place little importance either way.

I would be more active on WP if it provided a cerebral atmosphere....I tried starting an intelligent thread a few times, but threads like South Park gets way more traffic

I suppose I should just leave the pigs to roll in mud on their own....pigs like mud

'Do not cast ones pearls before swine....'

yes, its not my problem, never has been

I guess I'm different from many here

Thanks, that's James Woods playing Max Renn in Videodrome using a PPK.
There are a whole lot of children and young adults here. They have interest in things like anime, manga, gaming and music that I don't care for. But why shouldn't they discuss what interests them?

Been there, done that. I am 4 years older than you.

Apparently it is important enough for you to start this thread.

Having different interests does not make them less intelligent than you.

Casting aspersions on others because they prefer to talk about their own interests does not show a great deal of maturity. Shake the dust off your sneakers and move on.

Intensity Squared has an older aspie demographic than here. You might find it more to your liking. Just click the name and you'll be there.

Thanks for the link! However, I scrolled around the site a bit....looked kinda dubious then I saw the popularity of the: 'I want to f**k Sarah Palin' thread, then I knew why I avoid most people, in real life and on line.....





I have no trouble with young peoples expressions of interest, be it anime, manga or whatever, but rather members who 'think aloud' on WP, and start multiple threads daily.....
I guess you lot are happy with the current situation, so I'll leave you to it then

I still believe it is antagonistic to all parties concerned, including writers...... to leave youngsters to run amok without healthy boundaries....but I guess thats now common in todays world....though I do believe healthy respect for other members cybertime is extremely lacking by WP management.

That will be your cross to bare

this breaks the rules and it annoys me greatly. i don't mind if you pass that on so i can remove one thread. i don't always catch it.

EDIT: Surfman, i also don't like if people start multiple threads all in one day, especially if they are inciteful (i.e. just an external link then that OP abandons the thread to the wolves), or if someone posts a lot of topics in a day without a lot of thought going into them. if it gets out of hand it can be considered spam and we can speak to such individuals, but we need to know specific instances if people think it is going too far.

Yeah, I have seen some cross-posting a few times. I will try to report it if I see it. I think there was a recent one on South Park.

I had a chat with the Oxytocin fellow and told him to stop the spam... I didn't remove the threads though, as they were worth keeping (it wasn't their fault they got the spam treatment), and given a few hours, they were already falling off of the front page again.

your wording made me lol (those poor threads!).

My cross is I that care too much, also for poor threads!

Astrology says: 'not only does this native care about everything solid, traditional and valuable, he also enjoys the capacity to care for those elements'

Sometimes people have more than one (or two) interesting things to say in one day. Sometimes you can tell by the title of a thread (like do aspie farts smell worse than nt farts?) that you don't want to read it. There are some posters I don't read. I don't see the need to limit numbers of posts unless it rises to the level of spam.

There are various technical reasons limits shouldn't be imposed also.

Well, first of all, there's the technical complexity involved in building that functionality into the code base of the forum, and the implications that carries on to the overall maintainability of the site.

Secondly, there are many valid reasons someone may want to start multiple threads in a short amount of time. Just as a simple example, I generally lurk around this sub-forum looking for people reporting issues that may have to do with the server, as I have the ability to fix those issues.

If there's a thread that deals with something I may have an interest in, I'll watch it for replies. If people were limited to posting X threads per day, they'll end up reporting multiple issues in posts in existing threads, or threads that don't have anything to do with what their issue is, and I'll completely miss those issues and won't know about any problems that people are experiencing.

It seems to me that any time you implement a rule like that, people end up finding ways around those rules that make things worse off than they were before. If user X can't start his random thread #23, they'll end up poisoning someone else's thread instead.

I disagree that this is an absolute scenario

Aspies are blurters who need to learn to STFU FACT

If counsellors at support meetings I attended took the time to tell the yapping young male aspies to STFU, they would have done way more good for verbal diarrhoea afflicted souls

Learning not to be a blurter is hardly discouraged is it?
And everyone logging on is party to the dysfunction
its almost encouraged

It won't happen.

I think you're making the error of thinking that your own experience and your perception of what a couple of other prolific posters round here need 'FACT' are synonymous with what every aspie needs.

I heartily disagree with "Aspies are blurters who need to learn to STFU FACT"

Many aspies learn to STFU on their own accord, upon realising that the world doesn't understand or appreciate what they have to say.

Here should be the place where people are free to start communicating again.

That there is one or two nuisances that really do take liberties and stretch the bounds of acceptability is not in doubt, but I don't think reason enough to institute the measure you desire.

Perhaps what some aspies need to learn to do FACT is to have a little tolerance.

Other forums that are NT, have them too I guess

Maybe it could be just me.... sorry to offend multiple thread starters and their fan boys

My apologies

lol surfman you're such a b***h
