bury the year Posted January 25, 2017 Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 Reread the other posts and I don't remember who said it, but I'd be perfectly fine with even limiting the number of threads posted in this section to one a day, period. It puts a bit more emphasis on "careful curation" of content, inasmuch as you can't just post whatever blindly comes to mind. I also feel that some people may be intimidated to post in here if others are just flooding content, as they may not want to post if they think their thread will get lost in the deluge (so to speak). If a once-per-day limit was instituted, it would encourage more equal participation across the community - less "I speak whenever I want," more an "I speak, but also listen to others" sort of thing. And yes, I do agree that political threads should be moved to Debates. Not to poo-poo the community as a whole, but those sorts of threads always seem to devolve rapidly.

Dad Posted January 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 Just a reminder guys. This rule is set to be implemented next week. There's still plenty of time for discussion and feedback. The general consensus appears to be positive, but I want to make sure we cover all the bases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were some suggestions and I didn't follow what ultimately got decided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad Posted January 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 The requested change to the original rule that I suggested: "Users may not post more than one topic per hour." was to be: "Users may not post more than one - three topics per day." I'm iffy about that change. General activity is somewhat stagnant, to the point that we don't really need a daily limit. And I strongly believe that a once an hour rule would hold up fine. That being said, I'm still open to it, and there's plenty of room to argue that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchermitcher Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 ultimately the intent of the rule is to stop the main perpetrator of general flooding (winter) (or so i assume that's the reason people are suggesting this), so general activity is going to stagnate somewhat regardless. for the record I don't mind whichever version of the rule is decided on. i barely make general threads so this affects literally nothing for me.

Ryusei the Morning Star Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 The irony is I never "flooded" before Wahr came in with his anti-trump flood. And I've stopped since Dad found a good solution for politics. I don't think any rule is needed and the flood was more a 1 time freak event Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, and I think the rule is a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no problem with what you did, but clearly you see a problem in creating activity in a formerly dead section Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad Posted January 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 Take it to pm. I don't wanna see another word about you two flooding one another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryusei the Morning Star Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 Take it to pm. I don't wanna see another word about you two flooding one another.Fine, then let me ask you this. Ever since you sent me that PM, and made the admin thread, would you say the "flooding" has gotten worse or better It was a one time problem that you promptly dealt with in a pragmatic way. I see no need for extra regulations when good leadership from the mod team is a effective solution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see no need for extra regulations when good leadership from the mod team is a effective solution Sorry this took so long. No, there hasn't been any flooding since then. However, I feel that acting now instead of waiting for flooding to happen again--I'm from New Orleans bruh, I know how to prepare for flooding--is best. Besides, one topic an hour is honestly really lenient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad Posted January 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 Just a reminder. As of tomorrow, this proposal will have stood for one week. If there's no further argumentation, I will take a brief final poll to see if this is something you all actually want or don't want. Majority will rule.

Wahrheit Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 It is my opinion that there are too many politics threads in General lately. I make no comment as to any particular authors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad Posted January 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 At this time, I will close this topic and present a poll for voting. Please partake in the poll whether you agree, disagree, or have no real opinion on the flooding rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad Posted February 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 To ensure a larger portion of YCM does have the opportunity to vote, this poll will stay open until Saturday, February 4, 2017. At approximately noon central standard time, on that day, this poll will be closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad Posted February 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 Thank you all for your participation in this poll and this thread. At this time, this thread will be unpinned, and I will implement the flooding rule. Please see "General Rules" for the update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
