Petition to lower the thread per 8 hours on the OT

[Bill3000]

Like someone said, 8 hours is like a day to most of us. No one can post and wait that long, and most posters post in the afternoon. Sign this petition to make the long 8 hour wait lower!

I don't really make that many threads on the OT, but 3 threads per 24 hours seems better.

Repeal the 1 Thread/8 Hour Limit!

Nope. I disagree. I said it was a good move when it was introduced and I've seen nothing to change my mind.

How about a thread every 4 hours? That sound pretty good. 6 threads a day, if you stay up all day and night.

I'll sign anyway, but not to repeal it, just to lessen it.

i'm aware of the code since the day it was posted....
you would know that if you read posts of mine on similar threads

Then why hasn't it been implemented? Would it work properly? If not, why not ask for help, like you did before? Or do you think of this as just an old issue that only a few malcontents care about? If so, I assure you that the only reasons people aren't still screaming are (1)It was originally a way of relaxing a worse restriction, so complaining at first would have seemed ungrateful; and (2) it has been about 3 months since the restriction was implemented, so people have gotten the impression that nothing will ever happen about it. I've lost track of what you said in threads several months back, so could you clearly state your position on the issue here?

2) it got even lower after a thread in this forum when several people posted that more or less we should just leave like that

A petition!! *urge to post rising*

There are surely two aspects to a forum, especially OT. There's posting and there's reading other people's posts and responding to them. To give others who value the two-way exchange of information a decent chance to keep up with the threads, keep the rate as it is.

generally it's a good idea to prevent the OT from being flooded with threads which are utter BS, but one per 8 hours is just too strict

[Dr.Oogkloot]

It's true that one per eight hours means one per day for most people, but do you really need to post more than one thread a day? IMO the off-topic forum is clogged up enough as it is.
