vote on daily post limit

[SwampG8r]

the posts flip by so fast they lose all information and entertainment value
so i(meaning you the reader of this post) believe that

[SwampG8r]

1. leave a message folks im trying to get a solid response

[msongs]

2. supression is not good when repubs try to do, why should it be good for DU / nt

[SwampG8r]

5. its getting hard to keep up and good threads get lost

a lot of useful information is being drowned out

[dkf]

10. Isn't that what the greatest pages are for?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

3. Wrong forum. Please move this thread.

[Joe the Revelator]

4. Wtf? Why should we institute a post limit??

[npincus]

6. exactly.

[dkf]

7. This is information gathering season.

Anyone who can contribute should do so.

[Va Lefty]

8. I think we have enough rules here

not in favor of any more

[grantcart]

9. I propose that we get one post per major McCain gaffe per day

that would come in between 6-9 a day.

11. How about five more threads

about limiting threads?

12. Your sons and your daughters are beyond your command

your old post guidelines are rapidly fading

[azmouse]

13. A limit worked well before.

How soon people forget.

14. i saw a post wondering if it was a better policy and i wanted to find out what

yall thought about it
i myself actually voted no
i have seen several threads asking about the old 3 a day policy and wanted to see what the real overall opinion was

[yourguide]

15. would help weed out some of these stupid trolls.

[Muttocracy]

16. I'm not sure - I'd prefer merging threads, though that's extra work for the moderators

[Muttocracy]

17. another thought for your personal viewing sanity - sort threads by start time

instead of last reply. Then "sinking" is not an issue and each thread gets equal amounts of your attention. If there's an interesting one, you can bookmark it or reply to it and easily find it later.

18. Did you mean a limit on new THREADS per day?

[Liberal_in_LA]

19. posts or initiations of new threads?

[Boojatta]

20. Do you mean a limit on new threads per day in General Discussion?

Some Topic Forums that aren't moving too fast, unless you're a very, very, very slow reader.

21. I think if people spent a bit more time posting to appropriate threads instead of starting new ones

We wouldn't have this problem. There must have been 50 different threads (at least) speculating about the "baby," then another 50+ about the daughter being pregnant, then 50+ of people bitching about the other 100.

I don't know if it's possible on DU but I also think if there are a lot of threads on the same topic, then the threads should be combined or maybe during the election season a forum specifically for scandal should be started. Those types of posts are what seem to knock the other stuff off so fast.

Lastly, you can always hide threads that you don't want to follow...

22. I Understand Your Point, But.....

I don't like the idea of limits. Sometimes I'm following a post and in 5 mins its on page 2. Well, I just go to page 2.

23. No limits

on posts. Many points of view are represented here.
