    Default New Modification...

    Because of the constant complaints about post flooding... I have added a new modification that will limit the number of new threads each user can post in a day. Current limits are 17 new threads per day, 10 in any one forum.

    If users find this too restrictive please PM me, or post here or whatever. It isn't that difficult to get around it... but it will show we've tried to get some limit on flooding the board with new threads.

    There are no limitations on the number of replies one can make, only on new threads. I can change the limits at any time (such as make them larger during election periods or something).
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
    - -- The Buddha

    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
    - -- Aristotle

    Maybe you ought to introduce a delay between posts to stop Desh's stream of consciousness or at least slow her down anyway.

    Still won't stop her from crap flooding others threads but that is what thread banning is for.

    This is really going to send her into a froth

    Now if only we could get a modification that prevents permanently-banned posters from constantly sneaking back in to create trouble.

    Yes, let's get a handle on that woman who is screwing things up, right tommy!
    In Solidarity with Darla, women and rape victims all over the world I too am changing my signature!

There was this narrative that she was an innocent 13 yo when in actual fact she was anything but...this puts a fresh perspective on events[,]' TOM PRENDERGAST about a 13 yo rape victim. The 'events' being, she was drugged, then raped vaginally, orally and anally by a 43 yo man."

    How do you like them apples, tommy?

    Just an Fyi - there are also add-ons and built in functionality to prevent double posting. This would prevent anyone from making post after post after post after post all in the same thread. If they continue to make repeated posts, it will just add them onto the last one. This is good for those who like to make a million posts to increase their post count. Maybe you don't have anyone here that makes flood posts in the same thread?
