jpj,
You wrote,[...then again, other posters ...may...decide to IGNORE you...].
I believe that evryone has a choice to read or not read what anyone posts here. But could you tell me why the word (ignore) is capitalized? If you could, then I could respond accordingly.

Lou,
I love Shakespeare, and that is such a simple and yet profound quote.

Good thinking Lou. Here is a link to my reply. I will be signing off soon for the night, though. So perhaps we can pick this up at a later time?

i like your attitude, jane! glad you feel better.:) i've looked back over some of these posts..people sure are making a huge deal out of this..i don't think it'll be too hard to keep it down to 3 consecutive posts..this is not some big tragedy..and we are allowed to still respond to posts in a consecutive manner, which is a great aspect of the rule that makes good sense..so, i mean, if this person refuses to change his posting behavior, and it has a negative impact on the forum and its utility, then i am in favor of the rule, as it seems necessary..although i might up it to 4 consecutive posts, instead of 3..yes, this might negatively impact 1 or 2 people maybe, but it seems that not having the rule will negatively impact many more people, due to people's questions not getting answered due to high turnover, for instance..

take care,:)

i do think an attempt to resolve this issue with the poster first without adding a rule would be a good idea. but this attempt was probably already made, i'm guessing..

perhaps instead of blocking people, when someone surpasses a certain amount of posts (3 or 4), accidentally or otherwise, dr. bob, you could just post "redirect: surpassed the posting limit" and just redirect the post to a new board specifically for excess consecutive posts (i'm not sure what you would call it). this way, it serves the same purpose, but no one has to fear being blocked or whatever...what do you think, dr. bob? i don't know..just a suggestion..i will support whatever decision you make on this issue..i think this idea might even be easier to implement, maybe

Lou,

it is capitalized because the word, in the context of my thoughts, bore a major emphasis in my mind. i held down the Shift key when I typed it. Therefore, it was capitalized.

No response is required, Lou, though you are free to do so if you please.

alesta,
You wrote,[...redirect surpassed the posting limit...].
I think that is a great idea, alesta. I think that you are indicating that there is no harm donr by posting more then 3 posts, and that any blocking for such would,IYO, not be warrented. Instead, you offer your alternitve.
I like your suggeation to the administration here, and wholeheartedly support your ideas.
I do not think that another board would be appropriate, but it is your thought that 4 posts vs 3 posts or 7 posts, I guess, is not something that should carry some sort of penalty here to.
Best regards,
Lou

alesta,
I like your idea to not block posters for 4 or more posts, but to redirect to some unknown board might not be the best solution, although it is your thought that counts to me here.
How about the following instead.
Suppose when a poster goes over 3 posts, the moderator write, "3-hour halt".
This would mean that for the next 3 hours, the poster in question could not post at all on any board. Any thoughts?
Lou

In reply to capitalization of ignore » Lou Pilder, posted by just plain jane on September 30, 2004, at 1:28:23

jpj,
Thank you for your explanation. What I want to rule out here is that there is the potential for some people to think that the putting of a word in capitals could have the potential to mean that there is a call to others to do what the word in capitals imports. In this case, the word is, "ignore".
Thank you for clearing that up that that is not what your intention was, but perhaps you were trying to {tell me} that there is the potential for people to ignore me on their own, {not that you are advocating that peope do that.}
Lou

There are no rules here that are consistently and equally enforced so why bother trying? If you break one of Hsuing's suggestions say you're sorry and the rule won't be enforced except when it is enforced which is a random event not influenced by your behaviour just Hsuing's whims. No problem!

Perhaps one positive spin on this whole thing is that while we all may not agree that the new rule is the best solution, Dr. Bob heard his constituents complain about a disruptive (or is it just annoying, I'm not sure which) posting style and he responded. This makes the dictatorship seem more democratic. Good groups evolve, static groups become cliques.

 

Bob please determine if this post is civil

I feel like I am the object of her verbal *******. I do not think anything I did could cause her neck to snap. Why did she direct this post to me? I feel accused. Please determine if that is true and act appropriately. Thanks

Toph,
You wrote,[constitionency...a disruptive (or is it annoying, I'm not sure which posting style...].
If I am the poster with the posting style in question, then I do not think that my posting style is either disruptive or annoying.
There are posters here that have also agreed with me in respect to that.
I feel put down when I read that my posting is disruptive. To me, disruption in respect to this situation, could mean that I am doing some bad thing by posting here. I do not belive that my posting here is any sort of bad thing.
Lou

Lou,

Emphasizing the word was my intent, not suggesting it to others.

The emphasis is/was intended simply as you said "you were trying to {tell me} that there is the potential for people to ignore me on their own", which, I am guessing, is not what you desire. Actually, just to remind you, a little friendly nudge, if you will.

I know I sometimes get carried away in my own ways, I'm certain we all do, and it can be helpful (among other things :)) to have a nudge for a "self-check".

simply,
just plain jane

Toph,
You wrote, [..heard his constituants complain...disruptive(or annoying...not sure which...}.
If you are referring to m posting style, then there were others that are also in this constituancy that wrote something different of being disruptive or annoying. Below is one such post by New Wife on SEptember 23, 2004:
"i appreciate evrything you have to say. i enjoyed reading your posts. If your anything like me, you hit that send button and then only after, think of something else to write. you seen very smart and willing to communicate with others in this huge ans sometimes confusing world. have a great day and keep writing."
