BeAChooser Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 The number of posts by any poster on a thread should be limited to no more than the number of posts the originator of the thread has made to that point.

Why should someone like dontlooknow or 5x5 be allowed to take over a thread with nonsense posts just to disrupt it? I see no benefit whatsoever in allowing trolls like them to do that. So what makes this rule insane, lh? This would keep that from happening and It could be easily automated in software (i.e., require no moderator oversight).

I said the feature should be automated which should be relatively easy to do. At least suggest it to the provider of your software as a future feature. Unless of course you want threads to be disrupted by the likes of dln and 5x5? Maybe all you care about, lh, is post count? In which case, you must love those two. And by the way, I *thought* people like me were doing you folks a favor in notifying you about posters violating forum rules. But you've made it quite clear such help isn't welcome, despite what kfools and teacher might have said. I think we've discovered who has the real power around here ... and it's apparently not kfools or teacher. It's the bureaucrat they stuck between them and the members as a buffer.

If it's automated, AS I SUGGESTED, then it wouldn't require any moderation. It's simply numbers of posts being counted by the software and acted upon BY THE SOFTWARE. If a poster tries to post more posts than the OP author has made in the thread, the software doesn't allow it. Why is the ignore filter the only solution you can offer? And what good does it really do if you're trying to influence minds as this forum *claims* to be about? You might not see the hundred idiotic posts by tommy or 5x5 on your thread but they'll still be there, making it almost impossible for anyone else to participate in the thread ... to even see the posts that matter. That's tommy and 5x5's purpose, so they've won even if you don't see their posts. I still don't see the downside of this at all. Unless of course altering the software, or getting the provider of the software to incorporate such a feature is beyond the ability of the management of this forum. If that's the case, just admit it. Quite trying to hide behind unfriendly excuses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes you think this kind of technology is easily switched on to do what you want it to? For one, a lot of changes have been made to the software in the past and recently. Second, this is basic stuff (I've programmed for a living) that I'm sure the maker of the software could and might add ... if the users requested it. And it's a feature that might be widely liked, if you ask me. Quote Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the feature needs to already exist in the forum builder. Well that's what I asked in my earlier post. DOES IT? The response I got was "that's insane." If the capability doesn't exist, then just tell us that. Don't insult us by calling what might be a good feature "insane". If it's not available, then ask the forum software builder to add it. He/she might not, but then also might. Quote Otherwise, you're asking Kfools ... snip .. to screw with a few liberal dicks. You mean the guy who just a few hours ago started a thread titled "You rotten,dirty,filthy,liberal scum"? You think he wouldn't enjoy adding a feature that did what you suggest? Quote Because, it's about the only thing I can control as to seeing or not seeing stupid shit posted by insane a-holes. That's true, but it doesn't change the fact that "stupid shit" is still visible to everyone else, making it almost impossible to find your posts on the thread or make sense of a thread you started. The only person who got what they wanted in that case is the guy posting the "stupid shit". NOT YOU. I'm trying to change that. Quote Trust me, I don't. Fine, you don't, but most of the people visiting threads you start or post on don't see YOUR posts either ... because of the "stupid shit" which they have not put on ignore. So effectively dln and 5x5 have killed threads and discussion with this behavior and you're apparently content to let them get away with it. I see.

Your absence would keep people from keeping that discussion going because they would be limited to 4 post in that thread. I suggest if that happens those posters start a new thread discussing that topic by itself. One reason is that discussions buried inside non-related threads are almost impossible to locate using the browser software. It would be much easier for interested parties to find that discussion if the thread title reflected it and carried on from there. And perhaps the OP author does not want to discuss that topic ... but keep the topic of his/her thread what it was. Again, it's not fair to the person who goes to the trouble of starting a thread to simply have it taken over by other for whatever reason.

Most of the new add ons are not software add ons but third party apps. What you want to do here (Limiting spam by post locking at X amount) can be done with a click of the mouse in your thread. Great! I assume you mean by that last statement we'll be able to do that in the feature you're working on. It's not working yet, though? Thanks for your response, kfools.
