I'm not sure that's true. There were 1382 posts to foundation-l in September (more than double the average for the few months before). The 7 of us that posted more than 30 times (I was surprised to see myself back on a frequent posters list - I'd been doing so well!) accounted for 474 of those (34% of the total). In August, the top 7 posters (different people) accounted for 158 out of 614 posts (26%). In July, it was 161 out of 489 (33%). (Feel free to check those numbers, I worked them out very quickly and may have made mistakes.) It seems that the distribution of posts between posters was about the same in September as it was in previous months, it's just that everyone was posting more. Perhaps the soft limit should be the greater of 30 and 5% of the total posts so far that month (for most months in the last year, those would be about the same). _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
