Have you ever considered putting a limit on posts? Whether that be a certain amount within a day, hour, minute whatever it may be

Interesting. Reckon certain posters incessant posting of no substance is a solid reason why the forum has lost some members..but I guess that's none of my business :whistle

You are correct it is a point we have made time and time again over the last few years.

Which interestingly we've been been ridiculed about, copped abuse about, not to mention the endless comments about how unfair everything is and how people continually pot other posters about it

It's why we bought in the 3 strikes policy, had the poll about what people wanted in regards to penalties.

Even more interesting though is the apparent double standards by poster who complain about the baiting and trolling et al but then seem to repeatedly do it themselves.

Issue a strike and they make accusations that they are being treated unfairly, being victimised

Interesting indeed

Well if you going to hand out strikes based on that definitive and overwhelming 15-14 poll result, people at least want those rules consistently applied.....and not just fobbed of with "use the report button" ...seems to me you only get done if you upset the sooks , laggers & precious prudes with itchy trigger fingers...seems to me if you're glib & bait & troll (and spam) constantly and obviously(and some cases even admit you do) but don't bother the serial dobbers and "self-appointed moderators" (or are one yourself) or, more's the point, also have opinions they happen to agree with, then you're seemingly immune from any consequences... some of us have more than a sneaking suspiscion the report button is being used by certain posters to settle personal scores and gag posters they don't like more than anything else... basically the sort of crap that's destroyed other Richmond forums and turned them into monotonous, one-sided jokes....

It's less to do with the content posted (which is an important factor) but more of the issue of sheer quantity. I mean, you'd think some people would understand there point has been made

Also, don't you think a limit on posts would take a bit of the "unfairness" out of it. If you look at what Dio said, whether right or wrong, there is always going to be conjecture when you leave something up to someones decision with no obvious criteria as there is always going to be bias.

I'm not saying it'd work, I'm not saying it has to be such a tight number, but I am a little surprised you or OE haven't even thought about it
