Dr. Hsiung,
In your rule about consecutive posts, you use the term,{less confident posters} as the subject that you have made the rule for so that they {have more of a chance..and be easier for them...].
Well, if you are saying that just by one of these posters, {the less confident}, >seeing< that a name of one poster is there 4 times without another name in between causes them to think in some way that if there were only 3 of the same name without another name in between that they could have a {better chance} to post in that thread, then;
A. could you explain why you think that?
B. could you explain why, if there were two long posts, verses 4 short posts by the same member, without another name in between, that the {less confident poster} could have {more of a chance}?
C. In regards to any reason that you may give for [B] above, could that reason, if you give one, also mean that there could be a rule made by you here so that one could not use more than 3 words in a post that have more than 3 syllables so that it would also be {easier for the less confident to join in}?
