Should we go back to having limits on how many threads one poster can post within a 24 hr period?

Poll question: Should we go back to having limits on how many threads one poster can post within a 24 hr period?

I ask because whenever I sign on to DU I notice numerous threads from the same posters.
It kinda reminds me of junk mail - filling up the mailbox with nothing new - just their sales pitch.

I know we had limits during the primaries - wondering if any of you wish DU would go back to that...:shrug:

1. No

While I think some are excessive, and even annoying, I don't support putting a limit on them. I can choose to ignore, or hide thread or not open those threads.

[Sarah Ibarruri]

2. Maybe so. The same Hamsherite fans keep posting new threads over and over nt

[leftstreet]

3. Only if you selectively limit the DLC spammers

Lately they've been spilling out of GD:ObamaFest and irritating GD

[Renew Deal]

7. Or maybe whatever you are.

[Junkdrawer]

12. What I find EXTREMELY interesting is that Obama can be badmouthed all day...

but when Rahm is in trouble....

[Sebastian Doyle]

27. You noticed that too?

it makes no sense how some just babble on....and on....and on

[proud2BlibKansan]

4. No. That's one of the reasons I don't like daily kos

[Renew Deal]

5. Not just no

But hell no. I don't want to limit the people that keep this place alive.

[amborin]

6. i suspect

there are several getting paid

they keep up a steady drumbeat

[flvegan]

8. What, and ruin the fun of douchebag broken records?

I find them quite amusing even if they do tend to try and make this place like Obamessiah Central.

[timeforpeace]

13. Approximately 50% of all threads are written by those five women.

[emilyg]

14. You noticed.

[live love laugh]

20. Who HASN'T noticed? nt

[amborin]

21. they're

getting paid, aren't they

how else to explain it

[Individualist]

22. +1

[varelse]

9. Other - we have alert, unrec, hide thread, and ignore

and we're not in the middle of "primary season hell". I think we're covered.

[gateley]

23. Do we have 'ignore' any more? I haven't been able to find it when I really

NEEDED it a few times!

[timeforpeace]

10. No, if it's that noticeable (like a brick over the head), it hurts their own cause eventually.

[WhiteTara]

11. thread count nazis? I don't think so.

alert and ignore are your friends. Thick hides are necessary in politics. It is a blood sport and no armor will definitely hurt your heart.

[jillan]

16. I know - I totally thought about that before I posted this thread.

Someone else I was chatting with about this is using ignore...guess I need to do that as well.

[WhiteTara]

32. if they annoy you...great idea n/t

[omega minimo]

15. Bring back the Admin Forum, for all the concern threads and damned Un/Rec OPs!!

[Warren Stupidity]

17. Is this the ugliest OP of the day, or did I miss a worse one? nt.

[jillan]

18. Why thank you Warren Stupidity for your kind words.

[Warren Stupidity]

19. You are quite welcome. Revel in your desires.

[jillan]

24. I will revel in different people having different viewpoints.

But I will not revel in people spamming this place.

[Warren Stupidity]

25. what total doublespeak.

Try the alert button.

[Obamanaut]

26. Put them on ignore, hide them as you scroll down, or pass them by. nt

[TexasObserver]

28. Yes. Most volume thread starters start weak threads.

There are a few notable exceptions, but if they're starting over three threads a day in GD, they're likely spreading a lot of manure.

Every thought that pops into a person's head does not require a thread on GD about it.

Most worthy topics have dozens of threads about the topic, and most of those threads are vanity threads. What does the thread author think? "Sure, there are already a dozen threads on this, but they're not MY thread!"

Three a day is a good limit. They can go to other boards here to fulfill their need to start threads beyond that. It would reduce the clutter in GD.

[JCMach1]

29. No way, that's how many of us got to know Khephra for example

and some other outstanding DUers

[MercutioATC]

30. I expect this kind of post from a newbie. You have no excuse.

Really? You needed an OP to discuss something that has been discussed ad infinitum before and soundly rejected?

If stuff like this bothers you, you need to toughen the fuck up or find someplace else to spout constructive criticism.

[Divine Discontent]

31. not for LBN threads, but excessive OP's in a day, yes, like 10. people should be wanting to respond

to what others are talking about, not just having their opinion heard in an OP they started in GD:P or GD. I could see a limit for each forum, that is excessive, but LBN should have none.

[SidDithers]

33. Complaining about your own DU experience...

when you have the tools to completely control it, is just silly.
