How About a Daily Posting Limit?
How about placing a limit on how many times a person can post in one day?
People would have to prioritize what they really feel is important and use their limited posts to convey that message. It would also cut down on the incessant bickering that we have going on right now. We would also see far fewer wasted posts such as: Yep, Nailed It, Wow! I agree, etc.. That's what the Mods installed the "Thanks" function for. As far as how many posts a day is appropriate? Maybe 15? Maybe more? Maybe less? I know this site is monetarily driven by advertising and the more clicks they get the more they get paid. But if the current toxic atmosphere we're in right now were toned down maybe people would start coming back to the site and actually increase its traffic.. |

Great idea. Couple it with an interlock breath analyzer for the evening and late night crowd.

I fell that limiting anyone's ability to express themselves to be offensive. As long as posters are 'playing by the rules' let them 'speak'! If a post is breaking a rule or rules - report the post and let a Mod/Admin make that call.

But my main focus was to try and reduce the toxic atmosphere we have right now. Right now this site is operating in the same vein as the old Political Forum.. |

Nobody HAS to read all the posts. I drop in and out during the day when I have down time. I know the posters I don't want to hear from, I avoid their posts. I think it is a good thing to have chat boards like this, allows some of the over the top people to get it off their minds.

Some posters would be better off on twitter with their endless back and forth chatter. I like the 15 limit and not 15 per thread.

My vote is to reign in the few to reduce the toxic posting. They are readily recognized and easy to curtail. Let's have the majority win one for a change!! |

Another discussion board I'm on has a rule that if others can deduce your political views from a comment, it's considered to be political and deleted. It's a more narrowly focused entertainment site (movies / TV / music / books), but on the whole, I appreciate strict moderation.
If there are folks here who often have posts deleted or are given other penalties, perhaps a good examination of conscience is needed. It should not be difficult to obey a few rules, but this thread is proof that some cannot stop themselves from slinging mud directly at other posters. |
Perfect idea

Yes
I barely go on the site , because it’s become a personal blog for a few . Kind of funny when some have a comment and expertise on everything. Very sad |

Is this about being on this site for 1,500 days and have over 10,000 posts?

I always heard it was the second thing to go - but I don't remember what was the first

toxicity is today's social spacing,,, today our country's reaping the harvest from seeds sown by another

Good morning ........ well, against my better judgement, and because it is so damned humid, I decided to read through this thread from beginning to end. My conclusion is that the great majority of you posting on this board are allowing just ONE poster to drive you all crazy. The majority of you are behaving rather like annoying children who are intent on having the last word. I presume most of you have lead productive lives in various ways, but now in your near dotage you are behaving like children. This particular poster is able to get a "rise" out of many of you without even trying. When my brother and I would start "going" at each other my mother would say "if you cannot behave in a civilized manner, don't say anything at all" It's good advice.

I just think it’s funny that certain posters repeat ad nauseum certain spiels just for the purpose of drawing attention to themselves and riling up other forum members.
Hard to imagine they actually believe everything they spout! :D |
Hence, the reason I never wanted to be a ‘boss’ and sit in those awful meetings where attendees feel they ALL have to make the same comments, ad nauseum, on the agenda items! Ugh!

What's even "funnier" (sad funny) is watching the swarms hone in on and attack anyone who doesn't toe the majority line and then label it..."riling up?" Why is it there's almost zero condemnation, by their like-minded ilk...of that attempted suppression? :oops: That was, of course...a rhetorical question. ;) Let's also not forget those who want anyone with a contrary view to theirs, banned from the site and then they become obsessed with said "dissenters/enemy"...when their wishes aren't granted. :ohdear: |

Instead of a smiley face, some of us like to post a simple thank you comment concerning the article. I for one do not want to see censorship and restriction of replies/comments. This is my first post of the day but rest assured there will be many more depending upon how interested I am in the articles. Remember -- wear her mask TODAY in order to avoid wearing a respirator TOMORROW!!! |
Perhaps it’s only certain posters that are offensive to some people’s taste , care to share ????

No doubt about it. A 1A issue? No, not really, because this is a private site whereby the owners...have the right to set the rules. :shrug: |
