Hey Skinner !!!! How about releasing the 3 post rule for the next

[Laura PourMeADrink]

couple days???????????????

Any other blabbermouth other than me agree?

[LisaM]

1. No! I like the 3-post rule

In fact, I think it should be permanent in all forums........

[NightWatcher]

4. nah, not for all of them, but this forum for sure. Best Rule Evah

[Catch22Dem]

7. Ewwww, not in the lounge

That would RUIN it! When posters in the lounge get on a roll, they shouldn't be stifled by a 3 post rule. Keep that shit in GD:P where it's basically raw sewage flowing from peoples' fingertips anyway.

[grantcart]

2. nope too many threads to go through

[Laura PourMeADrink]

5. hey grantcart - thought you were my buddy

[grantcart]

19. absolutely but if everyone puts up 5 threads I could never find yours again lol

[Laura PourMeADrink]

31. wow - you are a charmer ! you must be a politician ! nt

[rucky]

3. Then what's the fun of wasting your third post?

[countmyvote4real]

6. no no no no no

We're going to need it now more than ever once the wailing begins.

[Kittycat]

8. No, I think we should wait until the greiving process begins and ends.

The last thing we need is people torturing others needlessly. Or others committing kamikaze suicide trying to out flamefest the opposing side, because tempers and emotions are running high.

[SwampG8r]

38. yes

maybe for the last week it should be a ONE post rule to keep the vitriol down

[MattBaggins]

42. Now this is a good idea

[shadowknows69]

9. Oh, hell no.

That's just an apocalypse waiting to happen. The servers would melt.

[billyoc]

10. I'm a thread hijacker, I don't think I ever hit the 3 post limit.

:rofl:

[shadowknows69]

11. That's the way to do it.

[Warren Stupidity]

18. Lakers or Celtics?

[Arkansas Granny]

12. No, please. We'd back to some posters putting out post after post to the point

that nothing would stay on the front page for any length of time at all. There would be just too many posts, most of them trivial, to wade through to find anything you wanted to read and respond to.

[mudesi]

13. The 3 post rule is the only thing keeping me sane

You people have no idea the number of times that rule saved me from posting something I'd have later regretted.

[cbayer]

51. OMG lynyrd!

I can't even imagine what that might have been.

:rofl:

[mudesi]

62. Let's just say....

Let's just say it was a good thing I reached my thread limit right before Hillary exploited the "bitter" remark. That 24 hour period may have saved my caps lock key from wearing out.

[phrigndumass]

14. Even Einstein had a bad idea every now and then :)

:loveya: Love ya anyway!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

22. I want a divorce :)

[phrigndumass]

75. Geezus, how many divorces do you want? LOL!!!

:loveya:

[Laura PourMeADrink]

23. I want a divorce :)

[Laura PourMeADrink]

I want a divorce :)

[Laura PourMeADrink]

24. I want a divorce :)

[Laura PourMeADrink]

25. I want a divorce :)

[Laura PourMeADrink]

27. I want a divorce ! :) :)

[BlooInBloo]

71. I can do better, baby! I swear!

:P

[Laura PourMeADrink]

28. Sorry LOL, system's real slow and I didn't think it took !

[Hugin]

56. Bookmarking!

Single funniest thing I've seen on DU, evah!

LOLOLOL! :rofl:

(Not only that, it's got to be a record of some kind! :D )

[cbayer]

15. I might agree if 95% of what is alread posted wasn't just repeats.

If we had a lot of original thought going on, that might be a great idea. But why just open the floodgates for more echoes?

[grantcart]

21. I might agree if 95% of what is alread posted wasn't just repeats.

[Warren Stupidity]

29. I want a divorce :)

[KittyWampus]

44. I want a divorce :)

[cbayer]

46. I want a divorce :)

[Warren Stupidity]

48. I might agree if 95% of what is alread posted wasn't just repeats

[cbayer]

52. Even Einstein had a bad idea every now and then :)

[Gore1FL]

65. Not Me! The last one cost me a house!

[cbayer]

67. Don't even get me started!!

I am still recovering.

:toast:

[Laura PourMeADrink]

33. never mind

[SwampG8r]

40. I might agree if 95% of what is alread posted wasn't just repeats

[Warren Stupidity]

49. Even Einstein had a bad idea every now and then :)

[Warren Stupidity]

16. NO!

sheesh.

[Why Syzygy]

17. NO!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

20. YOU ALL ARE A BUNCH OF SOURPUSSES ! I AM ONLY TALKING

ABOUT A COUPLE FREAKIN DAYS! I noticed it was really bad on Saturday. Many, many, things were happening
and you couldn't keep up with any of it unless you waded through the Official Post.

[Marrah_G]

77. Seriously, why the need for unlimited posts for a few days?

Can you not find 15 threads on every topic already? Can't you just post on those?

[AtomicKitten]

26. Release the hounds!

[NC_Nurse]

30. The nutjobs will spam the board. That would suck....sorry.

Things have been SO much better since the rule, and they haven't been great - so you KNOW how bad it was....

AFTER the primary - when it's back to GD:politics - THEN.

[MonkeyFunk]

32. God no!

I'd like to see a 1-thread limit for the next couple weeks.

[SwampG8r]

43. ok here it is hell freezes over

my wife said it would happen too
damn i hate when shes right
she said before the primaries were over
i would find myself in 100% agreement with you,
monkeyfunk
i in a reply above also posited the need for a one post limit for the final days
i have to admit that i am laughing now to find my wife was correct...again
and know what? it didn't hurt at all
i hope we spend more time agreeing,monkeyfunk

[MonkeyFunk]

55. lol

I'm there's other things we agree on.

I like ice cream. What're your thoughts?

[SwampG8r]

73. ice cream is good too

[QueenOfCalifornia]

34. SHUT UP!

Just kidding....

I have no real dog in this fight. I just could not resist.

[quantass]

35. Ah, Nastalgia! I say Bring Back the Insanity -- for 2 days!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

36. OMG - I love you. YOu are the only one here !!! thanks

[Gore1FL]

70. He is the 5% that is different!

[Jersey Devil]

37. I hear the mods at DU have been Stop Lossed for months now

Will Skinner take them on a cruise?

[Joe the Revelator]

39. I agree whole heartedly. Too much news is going to come out in the next few days

The 3 post rules has served its purpose but its time to get rid of it.

[Teaser]

41. a fine line between insane and clever...

.

[cooolandrew]

45. Totally agree it is very limiting is 3 posts. I think donations plummeted for it.

[elocs]

47. They think they will be heard for their much speaking--posting much and saying little.

Repeats of repeats of repeats with poster after poster frantically scrambling to let us know the same late breaking news: Dewey beats Truman!

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

50. NO n/t

[Hoof Hearted]

53. Ugh. No. Hell no.

[wellstone dem]

54. I might get a divorce if 95% of the posts weren't repeats

really.

[Warren Stupidity]

57. Lakers or Celtics?

[boppers]

58. Celtics or Lakers?

[K Gardner]

59. Nah.

[MadBadger]

60. Well, the primaries will be over, so off to GD with G news anyway!

[Occam Bandage]

61. Nonononononononononono.

[LWolf]

63. No. Please, no. n/t

[RBInMaine]

64. 3 posts in enough .

[WillyT]

66. I Could See Expanding It To 5 As An Interim Step !!!

:shrug:

:popcorn:

[AlCzervik]

68. How about reducing it to one, that way you'd really have to think before you posted.

i don't specifically mean you.

[Gore1FL]

69. Then only 95% would be the same!

[AlCzervik]

72. baby steps, baby steps.

[LordJFT]

74. I agree!

[Marrah_G]

76. I honestly wouldn't know why someone would need more then 3 OPs a day in this forum

The spam would be insane, the forum would move to quickly to follow.

And more importantly..... there are only so many topics. Do we need 100 threads on each one everyday?
