> I can understand your frustration. The fact is there is no coverage of threads going off topic in the policies. The monopolizing (or thread thiefs) of threads and BOARDS is suppose to be addressed by the three post guideline but there are no guidelines regarding the volume of posts to boards and the number of threads a poster can post to.

I think we should ALL be accountable for our posts. I have seen what appears lack of the application of accountibility to some posters..... I think that will continue.

It is written here,[...by the three post guidline but there are no guidlines regarding the volume of posts...and the number of threads a member can post to...].
I have the following concerns:
A. If there is not a guidline concerning the volume of posts, which could mean that a single post could be , let's say, 1000 words, then I am concerned that that in and of itself could show an intent of the maker of the three-consecutive-post rule.
B. If there is no restriction on the volume of a post, and the administration could consolodate three posts by one member, that do not have another member's name in between, and have the member's name just one time after the consolodation of the three posts, I am concerned that a motive by the maker of the three -consecutive post rule could be inferred.
C. It is written here,[...no guidlines as to the number of threads a member can post to...] I am concerned that such a rule, if it was innitiated, as to how the rule could be supportive to the mission of the forum which is for support and education.
The concerns of mine above, could or could not be concerns of other members here.
