> In your questions to me above, there are many restrictions that you would advocate to be implimented when a request for determination is made.
> It is my vision that a forum could have no restrictions for one to post as much as they want. I would not want anyone's voice to be stilled here.But the guidelines I’ve proposed are easy to administer, with no ambiguity. They are quantifiable. Also, I don’t see how having 20 people checking every post on every board every 5 minutes around the clock is any less restrictive.
> But I will answer as to why I would not want restrictions imposed on posters here.
> One of your proposed restrictions is that one could only post in response to a thread that you are activly involved in.No, that’s not true. One could question posts on threads they’re not actively involved in (or not the subject of), but they could not make such requests more often than is defined as acceptable by the forum guidelines without facing a penalty. Besides, such requests could be made privately to the moderator as often as wanted (as far as I’m concerned, though others may disagree). I’m talking about public requests.
> In my requests, they are to give more definition or to have comparison or to show past practic,etc. As to if I am a discussant in the thread or not, my concern for the determination is not dependant on my being a discussant for my request is to get a reply from Dr. Hsiung that could be relevant to all the posters in the community.
My guess is that you’ve made hundreds of such requests. Could you please tell me of three specific requests you’ve made that had replies that were relevant to the whole community?
