Daily Limit? Options

[Biker1]

I agree entirely (Whoops - yet another post from me! )

[user23]

There is no volume or body language on this site as would be present say in the pub in a group conversation.

Yes there is, volume of posts by each person.

Well if you think that not contributing is a good idea I'll start the ball rolling by not commenting on this thread again. It's ludicrous to suggest that by censoring people you are allowing a wider debate. User 23 why don't you do the same, in fact how come you've suddenly popped up again anyway? Have you upset everyone else so much on the other forums that no-one wants to engage with your idiocy anymore? Don't reply though, you might drown someone out. Idiot.

There are something over 250 registered members of this forum.

On a typical day I doubt if more that 30 or 40 post any comments at all. In fact if you look at the membership details the vast majority made just a handful of posts and were never heard of again.

Now why is that do we suppose?

Bored?
Did not find the debates interesting?
Just lost interest?

Or did they (heaven forfend) come to the conclusion that it was a very limited forum for a handful of people who were on the thing all day, every day, every topic?

If any of these missing (silent) members are still reading these posts it would be nice to hear from them as to why they do not write any more.

AND WELCOME THEM BACK.

Whether certain people are writing all the time it shouldn’t stop others from posting or giving their point of view. As one member on here said that she didn’t post regularly but enjoyed reading the posts; she found them entertaining. I presume that some people felt that on a particular subject they had to respond and once they’ve got it off their chest they thought that was it.

Of course you are not going to please everybody. The point of users thread was to see how people responded to limiting the amount of posts one posts. That idea would be an impossibility and as members had said; they wouldn’t agree to it anyway. Other members on here didn’t have a problem with the amount people post; apart from User. At the end of the day you will never please everybody. I run or co-run a couple of forums and we try to please everybody; it doesn’t work and some members leave because of other members ways. All you can do is set ground rules and providing everybody obeys them then that is it.

Now you're just being deliberately argumentative.

You know perfectly well what I meant.

How rude.

How rude.

I agree, but he does have a point

No, volume of posts is exactly the point I raised and brought the conversation nicely back on topic.

Welcome to the world of User 23. We know user 23 from other forums. This is what he does; pees people off. He tries to get under peoples skin. He then gets banned, but always manages to come back.

[Biker1]

Yes I think I'll start a thread arguing that black is in fact black and not white and see how the argument goes!

If my views "pee you off" the best course of action is don't reply to them.

[GMR]

If my views "pee you off" and you cannot think of any counterpoint, the best course of action is don't reply to them.

Try reading my post again. I said you pee people off, not pee me off.

Me personally; I find you rather entertaining.

Ah, light dawns, so this User is the same User on the other Newbury forum I used to read, I should have known. It is his type of posting that stops people like me from joining in. I can put up with constructive debate, even a bit of banter that goes off topic, but this unnecessary attacking over petty issues does my head in.

So my message to User23 is, I don't have a problem with certain members posting a lot, but I do have a problem with posters like you coming on just to cause trouble.

As you've just joined in a thread I started this doesn't actually ring true.

Wow

Who would have thought freedom of speech would be so hotly debated.

If you check back you will see I posted on the first page. Once again you have totally missed the point.

Just remember to take your happy pills before getting into a debate with User!

(Is he a he or a she??)

User is a young lad, probably as his name suggests; 23

How do you get into a debate with User?, he either ignores the relevant points, or takes odd points out of context and twists them to suit.

that's probably why he started his own thread so he could be centre of attention
