I really can't believe I'm weighing in on this. All self-control has gone out the window. I should just eat a donut. Crud.
Maybe I missed the resolution of the idea that it's more about a poster making repeated requests which are declined by Bob. Some people are just not cut out to be interpreters of Bob's rules. I’m one of them.
Say Dinah requests Bob reviews a slew of posts...great! I have a good feeling that she has valid reasons for this. I don't care how many posts we are talking about, or how many posters. She's got a good understanding of the process. Sometimes poo hits the fan around here, weird stuff happens, and this 3-limit rule might have to be broken even by Dinah.
It's more about inaccurate interpretations which lead to Bob to spending his time without cause, and embarrassing/worrying posters needlessly. IMHO.
So, if there MUST be a rule, I'm more interested one that says, you get 3 bad calls in a month....then you sit on the bench. If you submit a 4th, you get spanked.
