i think that is a brill idea,

[MK Chris]

i also renew my suggestion for an 'off topic and spammy crap' room on the forum

But (and this has been said before) threads regularly run off-topic and how many Moyles topics are there?

[timb]

it would be used for threads that are both off-topic and spammy not either or

[Stephen.]

But then you would have one extra forum with spammy crap in!

[Chris]

i also renew my suggestion for an 'off topic and spammy crap' room on the forum

This is what the General forum is. What it is not (as I keep saying) is somewhere two or three people can hold what is essentially a boring private conversation.

People should realise that their posts can be read by many people, use PM, email, IM or the Chatroom for 'small' conversations.

Bandwidth doesn't grow on trees and it would be irresponsible not to make the best use possible for the benefit of the largest number of people.

[Nablo.]

Who would spend time going to it to read it knowing full well it's going to be full of poinless spams.

[superwoman]

i think we all need to look at what we are writing and use the chat room more!

The needs of the many out way the needs of the few or the one.

[timb]

people would read it if they wanted to continue a conversation that was moved there by splitting or moving a thread

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

Maybe...but some people are pathetic, what can you do?

i think 50 is about right i mean somedays you post a lot others you dont but today is just ridiculous...

[ASG]

I'd say 70 seems to be the most reasonable for the future, but for the moment I think Chris is right to keep it at 100

[~JACQUI~]

i think its rubbish!

[Nablo.]

Your meant to not be here so whats it matter to you.

[Sidders]

This is a really crap idea in my opinion, but I would think so wouldn't I? Generally though, my posts add to a topic and I don't very often post just for the sake of posting. Can't you just limit the posts per user and assign it to people who abuse the system?

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

stop bloody moaning all this is annoying me an i just come here a bit if i was chris an actually had better things to do i think i'd shut it all down for a bit...

[Sidders]

[plug]I know of a site where there is no post limit, and everybody live in peace and harmony.[/plug]

You don't post over 100 posts per day, you wouldn't have even known there was a limit if I hadn't mentioned it.

If someone can prove to me they can make more than 100 valuable posts per day, then I'll relax *their* limit.

What's the big deal?

ps my idea works on one of the forums i run

I thought you said it would be going down, not up...

[Gigglyboots]

If you read anything before that, its being reviewed tomorrow.

I don't know why its such a pain to you all, barely anyone post over 100 posts a day anyway. I think the most I managed in a day was forty so it doesn't bother me.

[Chris]

From the statistics, over the last five days:

ASGimli 220
Sidla 187
Nablo the White 158
Topher 123
Hedwig 123

Which means an average of only 44 posts per day, even for the busiest poster. It's just some people didn't spread them evenly.

From this you can assume that a limit of 100 (which is where it will stay for now) will not effect anyone. Except people in the midst of post-sprees.

Everyone happy? Good.

[Sam]

when do the site stats update Chris? because when I looked earlier Hedwig wasn't on the top ten, but she'd already posted her 123 posts?

Well, I'm here nearly everyday from midmorning to late evening so I would guess my posts are more evenly spread than most people.

Award for poster who spends the most time here.

[Nablo.]

Due to my current sitution I have been around from 10 am till 12:30 pm. So I guess thats wide spread posting but to be honest I can't do much else while at home.

[Uglybob]

50 posts it should be, even Jonny found it hard to do 50 a day. Even though im top it doesnt mean i post a lot, you can look at my history if your that bored. its just that i frequent the board every day.
