5. LostinVA What did he do?
I mean, I havn't posted any today because I'm worried I will get attacked just for being a Hillary supporter. So what did Skinner do?

15. I know I'm awful. But I've learned a few of the DU lessons the hard way.
This is the first post I've had since the limit began though. 2 more to go guys!

20. This should lessen the vitriol
Or at least make it more carefully worded.

17. I disagree. I think it is necessary.
P2BA wasn't the only one posting ad nauseum. You O supporters have to be careful what you wish for. You guys bitched and moaned to Skinner and the mods to limit the threads and now that the one troll is gone, you don't want it anymore. Tough shit. LOL.

21. I've always been against the thread limit. I thought we just needed to "take out the trash"
Cuz I know I post more than three OP's a day, but most of them are news/Polls.

24. Have to agree. I'm not real kean on this limit.
I get what they're trying to do, but heck, the fund drive is going well, and people were getting used to the general mayhem. I even cut way back on my alerting. :)

29. I agree. So much info people might miss out on. Oh well.
I hope DUers learn to hunt around to fulfill their limit, or GD/P could get pretty boring.

22. It will be once the nomination is done.
But until then it should lessen some of the throw-away threads (including mine!).

25. Heh. Glad I could help.
There are prolly still many who have me on ignore from my ridiculous posting as a newbie so I'm sure other thank you threads will be made.

35. excellent improvement.... fewer troll droppings and vanity posts...
New threads should not be started just because someone heard an airhead call into C-SPAN and say something stupid. Or got a call from a long-lost cousin who decided to vote for Clinton or Obama this morning. Every post should contain a substantive point and this better ensures that will happen. I'd extend the rule across a lot more forums. Do the people complaining actually believe they have THAT much to say of importance, or that can't be appended to an existing thread?
