No Belly, I don't think I'm not wrong.

I reckon you'd be in the tiny minority by hitting the 100 posts back and three months back options as a matter of habit.

So do you support my request for four posts in 24 hours on article threads?

Possibly, Ludwig, possibly.

I'm a 10/One quarter back person myself.

Your proposal still has me in two minds.

Very occasionally - most often when there are a couple of conspiracy theorists firing both barrels - I feel the need to venture "just one more wafer-thin" post.

Then I think how tedious it would be having to read through a whole lot more elongated ramblings from the same folk, and calm down.

On other occasions I simply write out what I want to rant about in .odt, and revisit it when the curfew has lifted.

Comfortingly often, what I wrote back then was still relevant, its pith and moment having not decayed overnight.

We Ludwig have different ways of following threads.
Some get e mails if action takes place in threads that interest them.
It took time for me to use my system, often I first look at new threads.
Now I am not sure I can agree, the basic reason we have such rules may be the readability of the site.
Some posters would haunt article threads.
While you unhappy no evidenced moderators watching this thread you can bet they are.
I have found some gems by looking at past, seemingly dead threads
And continue to watch this one.

Bugger! I muffed that. From my last post:

Pffff, I don’t think I’m wrong… and I do think I’m not wrong! ( :>/

Belly, Pericles, we can see exactly what happens when we are allowed four posts in 24 hours on the general threads. It works well. So why on earth it is different on the article threads is just baffling to me.

As I’ve said previously on this thread, doubling the number of posts that a poster could put up on an article thread per day would increase the number of posts written in response to articles, which would surely have a positive effect in the minds of authors, OLO administrators and posters.

What is the downside? I can’t see any significant negative factors.

You may have a point truly not sure.
I have thoughts about the articles page.
I visited this morning, first time in a while.
See plenty who post here there but feel its a bit clicky.
I once only went there, to avoid clashes for a while with ex posters.
I get the feeling, forgive me if I am wrong GY, its is a bit more elitist than our all in back yard.
Ludwig it can not be easy moderating us lot, each of us can be a pain, I went tropo a short time ago after taking a bait.
But forums that protect themselves from over posting work.
