True Patnetters are having problems posting retarded threads & comments.
I have suspended the account of freespeak for now.
WookieMan saysI have to be careful not to fall into the ways of the troll.
Too late.
For just pennies a day you can protect innocent Snowflakes like Wookieman from being triggered.
I ignored freespeak and now I only see a couple new threads per page
User nyc deleted. It's just spam.
OK, I implemented a first pass at daily post limit of 7. No limit on comments yet, just posts (aka threads).
having post limits has been my wish for years.
Let me refine that a bit: New users: 1 post/day, 2 posts/week, Established users, 2 posts/day, 5 posts/week. Weeks could be rolling 7-day periods. The quality and usefulness of patnet is inversely proportional to the number of posts.

I think quality of posts is the most important thing, but how best to select for quality?
Up and down voting doesn't work very well without a lot of users.

PNet has demonstrated what I've also observed on other forums and comment sections with voting. The more politically associated a topic and comment are, the more likely to get a high number of up or down votes.
The correlary is that moderate or apolitical posts get almost no votes either way, despite these viewpoints typically expressing more thoughtful commentary.
My conclusion is up/down voting is more often a reflection of tribalism and emotional reaction.

I think you are right.
Mommy, Mommy, can I be a sanctimonious consequencor when I grow up, pronouncing dark judgment on everybody else on the internet and pissing on them from a lofty perch as if I am above it all?
there's a lot of back and forth with the comments. A lot of it gets childish....
It appears you rather bitch about it instead of taking the easy step.
This is what I'm talking about. 6 threads/posts stared in 20 minutes. I think a few may even be repeats from freespeak/nyc and the idiot doesn't even know it even though he was those previous users and posters. I know the some crappy numbers guy said he wants to see what this is all about (although I think we're on the same page), but I think it's time to officially shut this down. I don't give a flip what's going on in Hong Kong.
I'm sure there are 3 more threads posted before I'm finished. We'll see.
