His most recent block was for a different "rule of 3", which was about asking admin to review more than 3 posts by a specific poster after having been asked by Dr. Bob to find an alternate way to express his concern.
But about the 3 post rule. I think it's making more than 3 in a row on a thread that are not directly replying to different prior posts. I also think, but I'd have to search the archives, and I'm not willing to do that, that it's also starting more than three threads on one board in a row.
What do folks think aobut this rule? Is it still a good rule (or I suppose you could ask was it ever a good rule)? Is it effective in allowing everyone into the dialog who wishes to be? Should we do something different? If so, what?
