Quote:I think a daily posting limit would solve a lot of problems.  Set a daily limit of, say, 10 or 15 posts, and it would be pretty hard to hijack threads. 

 It would create one huge problem though, and that is the overall stifling of debate/discussion-the very purpose of having a message board.

 

Sometimes there are things that happen that make for intense discussion for whatever reason.  Posting numerous times a day, in itself, isn't trolling or spamming.  There are plenty of times people raise great points for discussion that warrant elaboration, even within the confines of a single thread.  Even though I don't post as much as I used to, I'd hate to think I'd have to ration my thoughts and posts due to some arbitrary post limit.

 

Such a limit might even encourage the creation of pseudo accounts to give one individual more bites of the apple, so to speak.  I don't think that would be good for the board, either.
