Restriction of Creation of New Threads Changed to 1/8 hours/person in OT

[MarkG]

I will not give any reason for the change, as I'm sure that whatever reason I give, more people will believe that it has something to do with my childhood

The setting is changed to <u>1 new thread every 8 hours per poster</u>.

When(and if) that will be possible(perl gurus are welcome), it will change to 3 threads per day(e.g. you will be able to post 3 threads at once but not anymore for the rest of day)

I hope we wont start seeing "this is my thread for the next 8 hours" kind of threads. Keep just one thing on your mind:
less disruption, less rules. more disruption, more rules. your choice.

Hmmm, this is why Athens fell into ruins

But it is a step in the right direction

Mark, I understand your concern. Wouldn't it be better if these rules are directed at those responsible, though?

Thanks, Mark

I'm up to my butt in work for about a month (plus moving into a new house July 1), but after that, I should have time to help out on the PERL side, if you still need it.

Let me know, or I'll bug you to remind you.

I can cope with that considering I post at dispersed points throughout the clock (from 9am to as late as 3am (not solid, but at points between these)). So by the time 8 hours have past I could probably remember a good idea for a thread.

*damn, Mark is being reasonable, there goes my 'Turks have superior civ to Greeks' thread*

[Graag]

I think you have made the right decision Markos. Although I would prefer 3/24 hours rather than 1/8 hours, this is a good compromise. Good work(!).

'less disruption, less rules. more disruption, more rules. your choice' - MarkG. Our God speaks. Of course DanQ has no comment on this...

God forbid you just get rid of the people who cause the disruptions in first place.

[Ming]

Well Graag... the intent is to make it 3 threads in 24 hours. Once he figures out how to do that. (again, any help on this to MarkG would be appreciated)

And MWHC... getting rid of the trouble makers doesn't really help in the long run. They just come back under different log ons. At least this way, we know who to watch

This restriction is for the OT only, or for all the forum sections? Cause in some sections with very few posters, this might obstruct conversation.

First of all, Dan's probably busy doing other stuff around the site, and doesn't feel his presence is needed here since Mark's already taking care of this issue, and secondly, you should know that changes in the forum script are almost always done by Mark, so it makes sense he's the one debating the issue here
