posting limit for newbies?

[Glissando]

Okay, this is probably an insane idea. But-
What about having newbies (people who have only been members for say, 1 month) only allowed to post up to 10 posts a day?
It might cut down on the post count insanity.

I think that idea, or possibly a variation on it, is a good idea.

[aquariuswb]

Ditto.

Okay, this is probably an insane idea.

yes it is, it would have robbed many people of my valuable posts and thoughts.

I think the ones that post very frequently burn out fairly quickly.  I don't pay much attention to them after awhile, unless they're amusing.

Now just imagine if Bernhard started posting like crazy... 

[donjuan]

rules, schmooles! this is the internet!

I think that might cause some bandwidth problems ^_^

Yes lenny, without your post i certainly could not live........ . But i do agree that it is an insane idea...

I don't think Lenny's posting at 400/day now, is he?  The fast and frequent are short lived.  Makes things a little interesting too.  Just sit back and enjoy the show.  Overposting is better than not posting at all, as long as there aren't too many doing that.

This statement as it is, is invalid.

[SteinwayTony]

Sorry, Bob, I'd take a lurker over an overposter any day.

Not everyone posts just to up their post count. I for one couldn't care less what mine is, although I doubt I'd manage 10+ posts a day anyway. But still, your idea sounds a bit draconian to me.

Nobody said that.  If that were the case, Nils would go broke.

I know, but as long as people aren't spamming there can't be any harm in it. Who's Nils?

How wrong you are.

Nils is the admin of the forum.

ya i used to be a full member, and look at me now.

(p.s. this post was posted to up my post count and get closer to the senior status i once had)

[maxy]

Nah!

no limit for newbies is fine!  Always refreshing to see new people spam the place! 

[maxy]

You know what, I take that back!
Block these newbies! 2posts a day is good enough!  (and too much in some cases)

[Bob]

What happened to Lenny?

[Glissando]

What happened to Lenny?

He and his alter ego seem to be- gone!

Greetings

After reading this thread (and being stuck at 99 posts for days ), I decided to go for it and post this useless drivel.

Cheers
