Alex, it seems to me that the only person making work for you is you. Nothing could be simpler to enforce than the Posting Limits. You just look at the Post Count from Friday and if someone has gone over 50, they sit out the next week. Period.
Period. Where's the problem with that? Why mollycoddle whiners? I've been willing to live with this rule since the limits were instituted, and keep track of my own posts by manually counting them. I don't think I have ever thus caused you any work. But I'll tell you this...if you throw a tantrum and the Posting Limits are removed because you make more work for yourself than is necessary, within a few weeks of them disappearing Judy will be back to making 100+ posts a week, trying as she did before to "drown out" or "shout down" voices she doesn't agree with. That's what she was doing before the limits were created, and that's what she'd do again. Anyone who doesn't realize this is kidding themselves. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "Alex Stanley" <j_alexander_stanley@...> wrote: > > > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "whynotnow7" whynotnow7@ wrote: > > > > Back to the Tibetan Autonomous Region for you, Vaj - Enjoy your > > week off! > > Earlier this evening, Vaj deleted seven posts that he made in the previous few days. This struck me as a bit suspicious, so I tracked down this evening's deleted posts by looking on the FFL website for the time that neighboring posts were made and then finding his posts in that time slot in my email feed. As far as I can tell, he was just doing random deletions. None of them were cases of deleting duplicates or editing by deleting and reposting. There were also a couple random deletions earlier in the week and one post, delete, repost. > > My suspicion is that Vaj intentionally overposted this evening to see how the posting limit would be enforced. Well, here's the deal: it's a matter of intent. Judy's situation was an innocent mistake, and her deletions were the only way she could attempt to rectify it. Barry could have posted 51 last week, and I'd have let it slide because I saw that he did a post, delete, repost. Vaj's deletions, however, appear to me to be nothing more than random deletions in order to get around the posting limit, and that's not gonna fly. > > I will also add that having to dig through the various databases to find the deletions and see why they were made was a significant chunk of time that I'd much rather have spent doing something else. Right now I am very annoyed by all this, and it's all a bunch of posting limit bullshit that I didn't want to have to deal with in the first place. When Rick asked me to be a moderator, it was just going to be handling subscriptions, keeping an eye on uploads, and dealing with spammers. Now, I'm in charge of bullshit that I absolutely hate, and I've had it up to fucking HERE with all of it. At this point, the posting limit either needs to go or Rick needs to get a new moderator. I'm done dealing with this. > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, FFL PostCount <ffl.postcount@> wrote: > > > > > > Fairfield Life Post Counter > > > =========================== > > > Start Date (UTC): Sat Jul 23 00:00:00 2011 > > > End Date (UTC): Sat Jul 30 00:00:00 2011 > > > 888 messages as of (UTC) Fri Jul 29 23:52:53 2011 > > > > > > 54 Vaj <vajradhatu@> > > > 53 authfriend <jstein@> > > > 50 whynotnow7 <whynotnow7@> > > > 50 turquoiseb no_re...@yahoogroups.com >
