Excessive Multiple Post Syndrome

Man this would be a boring place if there was a leash put on people like Micky, David and so on. They bring so much character and colour to this place. Keep it up guys!

Oooooh, dat Micky
Multi posting on a thread about multi posting.........
........the nerve

^ A little of both but on the balance I'd say we have a very level-headed Admin team.   On the other hand, this place is a rose garden compared to the mid-00s, so that works.   Plus I miss Bob and Tony and Jody's presence as much as their policing.

We need fewer rules. We have five. All of them reduce down to one: don't be a dick.

yeah... different tools for different times I suppose. This place really was the wild west so you had to have hair-triggered tough guys to take out the trash. Today.. if multiple post syndrome is the issue. It is a rose garden.

Opinions? agree with you especially the "lose interest" part--but censoring on here would be a bad idea because where would it end?

An official censorship by the moderator? No, it's not necessary at all. We already have something better!
We have a forum's volunteer guard composed by some people  who are de facto  above the moderator. Acting as a forum's police, what is a priori  violation of this forum's policy and the rules, they think that only they know how the board should look like, and they, therefore, are patrolling the forum. Thus, everything is permitted except that which they do not like personally!
Their mode of operation is quite simple: discourage and offend the members (e.g. call the members' posts "spam" for no reason, direct personal insults, posting lies and so on) who post something they did not like it for any reason.

I think the number of posts each person should be permitted to post on a page (or in a thread) should be inversely proportionate to that person's age.

Yeah you're darn tootin' we police this place; our Mods are great but they can't be everywhere.   Sometimes It's up to the veteran caretakers to occasionally remind people of things.

I have no problem with that as long as you're playing fair and are aiming correctly.

Yeah, but don't forget I'm a french dude and the many subtilities of the english language often escapes me. The reason why I'm trying to stay 'Neutral' most of the time.
