Hi Dr Bob, Psychobabblers,
I used to post under a different name, but have been lurking with the occasional post for a long time.
I notice that there are certain posters that seem compelled to add a response to many, many threads whether or not it contains any pertinent information whatsoever. This often causes threads to veer off topic, and is generally not very constructive. I'm not going to point fingers at any specific individuals because there seem to be more than one, and I certainly wouldn't want to single any one out and make them feel bad about their posts.
Have you ever thought about imposing a GLOBAL daily posting limit, where any account could not post more than X number of posts (both new threads and replies) a day? (X being a number that you choose and think is reasonable.) It would be a fairly simple feature to implement.
This might keep people a little more focused, and they would think a little more about the value of the post they were contributing before submitting it. People would only contribute where they had something of specific value to add, or if they had a serious question or situation to discuss.
Just a question. I don't want to ruffle any feathers, but I just see a trend that seems to be frustrating the majority of posters. Please tell me if I am off-base with this suggestion.
Thanks,
Phoenix
