Daily Limit On Number Of Posts

[naboo]

Is it possible to put a limit on the number of posts a user can make in a day?

I've just read through post after post of nonsense written by one user (I'll leave anonymous) who's got something worthless to say about everything. Perhaps a daily limit would make people think before posting utter drivel. I know I can just put this poster, and others, on ignore, but then I'd lose half the posts in a thread and have no idea what the drivel I wasn't reading wasn't all about.

I suggest 20. More than this and the person needs to get out anyway. I see today there are 20 people with 20 or more posts.

You are really clueless as to how internet forums work aren't you?

[naboo]

They're supposed to be a discussion, provide relevant information, entertain. They need input from members, but when I read 5 posts in a row from the same poster, the discussion element seems to have disappeared, and when the posts are drivel....

It wasn't you I was talking about though.

Sorry naboo, what I mean is more posts and hits the better generally for any forum.

I have a different idea from another perspective.

MINIMUM of TEN posts daily, unless you can provide a note from your doctor or yoga instructor, and if not, there will be .... CONSEQUENCES.

Because if you can't do a measly TEN per day, you are obviously just SLACKING my friend ...

Silly idea? You think?

Lets have a Poll.

Should the forum just be for posts asking where to get a pirate Windows Serial or should it be a virant forum?

If TV would limit the Number one can post then a lot of Mods would be out of a job

[Payboy]

Shouldn't people with bigger keyboards allowed more posts?

Maybe time to introduce a "Don't Like This" button ?

[Jingthing]

In my opinion, your subjective evaluation of a post as "drivel" is not something that should be reported. Instead: scroll down.

A post has been removed because it contained vulgar language contrary to forum rule 3. Here's a clue. Just because you substitute letters with ampersands or asterisks it doesn't mean that the word is no longer vulgar. We try to keep Thaivisa family friendly.

Agree 100% but isn't that if the post doesn't violate forum rules it will not be removed, if the post is just obnoxious or Offtopic most of them don't get removed, but if they get removed, then only about 60% of all post will remain. So a better option would be the "don't like button"

Edit: // Maybe 60% is a to positive Number

They tried that one before "don't like button" and was gone in a few days as members that did not like each other gave then One big un or two or three, don't like you so off ski.............

Whoever, should as you put it be

if the post is just obnoxious or Offtopic

Yes, and Please report it and then let us all see what ThaiVisaDotCom Admins and Mods do about that said post.

Top posters of the day is on the index page near the bottom.

Edit: Perhaps I should have said most frequent posters.

Blimey - there are some people I've never heard of in that list! I wonder where they post?

OMG - I've done 20! Jesus, I'm out of here quick!

There are plenty of times I've seen moderators leave comments such as "nonsense posts deleted". Drivel should be reported as it clearly doesn't have a place here on Thaivisa.

[tinfoilhat]

oi!! one poster has 80 posts today already and it is not even midday!

excessive to say the least.

And probably none of them original either.........all that poster does is copy things

[dantilley]

Assume you're referring to Webfact - there's another poster besides Webfact with 80+ posts already today.

[Jingthing]

How is it your business to define how many is too many daily posts? Comes off as petty gossip to me.

[tinfoilhat]

gossip differs significantly to observation. I made no speculation as to motive or quality, merely pointed out a fact.

gossip

Casual or unconstrained conversation or reports about other people, typically involving details that are not confirmed as being true.

and i was not referring to webfact

At 11.15 there was only one poster with more than 80 posts. The other had 73.

[dantilley]

It's changed a bit since then.

I certainly wasn't referring to your comment(s) specifically but rather the entire general premise of this thread. My OPINION is that status quo of freedom to post as few or as many posts as you like is just peachy. Cheers.

[harrry]

But not wqhen you posted.

But don't let facts get in the way of a good story.

[Tywais]

Comparing the other poster with webfact's posts is a prime example of quantity over quality.
