S. Kroeze,

Thankfully I've hardly ever had to close or delete posts! But, yes, I try as hard as possible to let things here run a natural course. I get no pleasure from showing I can shut things down.

Ralf and All:

As for this post, I'd like to offer this suggestion: If anybody here feels that a certain person is posting too many new threads in such a way that it detracts from the board, please send me an email:

namk26@hotmail.com

Hopefully I will already have seen the problem and mailed the person in question. Otherwise, I will take your complaint into consideration.

Overall, though, I think we should encourage new people to post. This can be taken to an extreme, however, when one person begins to flood the board. So other than that, let's be friendly and helpful as we wait for the greatest TBS game ever made.

If I wouldn't read this post, I wouldn't know that the 'grief factor' thread has other ideas, Ralf. I don't have time to read all the topics so I must browse the titles to see if is any that is promising to become interesting or is a subject I feel important. That's why I support to let the posters start more than 2 topics. Otherwise, one would have to put a title like 'Some ideas I have about civ' or 'Tech Tree, City size, Units mobility, Map shape, Role of commerce in military and Obsolete wonders'.
Do you think that's OK?
Regards,
Remus

I think everything would be find if everyone coming to the forums were greeted with the following reminder:

"Those who do not learn from previous posts are doomed to repeat them."

My vote goes to Yin26.

Let's give the newbies a try of inventing something new.
(Oldies: We can give links to related threads then or then again maybe not.)

Ex. I personally was quite pleased with the newest version of Refugees discussion, altough i didn't bring anything completly new to the topic it locked at it from a little different wiev.

nah, don't make more rules. Just use common sense people, and if a newbie is posting to much, just send them a PM or E-mail about it

What the hell, this thread has turned into a question of if newbys should post or not!!! The mure question was if we should start more then 2 threads a day or not, if you have more then 2 ideas in your head, wait till tomorrow to post them. even though many of you may think contrary , I do like to hear what newbys have to say, because new ideas pop up every day.

p.s. dont post a thread unless its got some meaning in it. I hate it when this page gets crowded with peoples stupid, skin-deep threads, when my good, discussing threads gets kicked off the page.
