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..

I don’t think that the site owner would agree .....

Why ? Advertising dollars .......If the site owner can Show a potential advertiser that the site has “high traffic “ that means that the advertiser is more apt to pay for an ad on the site ...

Simple as that !

Yeah, but... I don't remember that Freedom of Speech, like a wild stallion to some, can't be given a corral within which to act out. I have no problem with having group-developed boundaries on texting. I have no problem with Moderator boundaries unless they are obviously unfair. You wouldn't be restricting thoughts or opinions or facts being written. Just the amount.

Some may agree with me that NOT ALL one's words are precious. NOT ALL one's thoughts are gems. NOT ALL opinions can win the day.

I'd rather watch TV movies. At least they're fun.

Some years ago on cruise critic it was revealed that Royal Caribbean paid a few posters to post favorable comments on their pages.

So when people post over and over and constantly start new threads figuring they might have an ulterior motive.

very true

The rules we have now are not even enforced. Many people don't post because they know they will be berated and ridiculed by certain repeat offenders. If you put them on your ignore list their posts still appear in quoted posts.

I am surprised by the viciousness of the posts disagreeing with people.

If offended you can always not click. But no you would rather complain.

Pretty much any poster starting a new thread that makes a suggestion.
