If the rule that I am suggesting was considerd to have merit here, then I suggest that if the poster in question posts before the 3-hour halt is over, that the halt could be extended to 6 more hours.Then of course, if the poster posts before the 6-hour halt is over, then a 12-hour halt and so forth. The idea that I am trying to present here is that posting in a consecutive posting manner is not something that I consider to be disruptive or annoying and I would not like that to be considered to be such by associating it with things that carry with it a blocking, such as using profanity here.
> Louhi lou,
i don't understand how what you're proposing will work. it looks like with your system a person can just keep on posting! while simply getting warnings of a halt each time that they need not obey..this achieves nothing. i still prefer my idea of a warning.<The idea that I am trying to present here is that posting in a consecutive posting manner is not something that I consider to be disruptive or annoying
but it is, lou. all the excessive unnecessary posting prevents certain posts from being addressed or read by people. i know i personally i would hate it if i posted a question that was important to me and it disappeared quickly from the board with few responses. this affects people and in some cases may hurt them, as they may have otherwise received some very significant, important piece of information to aid their well-being or health. i am usually very satisfied with the turnover on PB. i've never been dissappointed. but i know if someone started *unnecessarily* posting excessively in the manner that you have, it would probably frustrate me for the reasons stated above.
