Thread Name: Thread Proliferation Control
Subject: RE: Thread Proliferation Control
Don't see why it shouldn't make virtually everyone happy. There is bound to be a gray area as to what belongs where, but that is just one of those things to live with, not whine about.

Amen to that..............

How about it Joe? With Jeff's changes, are you now going to trust the posters to exert self-control or just carry on with your personal whines to justify your ill-starred Thread Proliferation Control and witch hunts?

As far as policy on specific types of humor, the only rule is "no personal attacks." As for starting threads, the rule-of-thumb is that only one thread on any given topic should be active at any given time. If there are 15 Iraq threads on the Forum Menu today, some are going to be consolidated. Five is tolerable.
Fifteen is ridiculous.
Yes, you're encouraged to add to existing threads. But refreshing sixteen Shatner threads or twenty Iraq threads is not going to make people happy. We want people to be happy here...
-Joe Offer-


The key to the above being 'rule-of-thumb'. Not enforced with an 'iron rule'.

If you really want this person to be happy, and it is not all that difficult, will you please exert a little self-control and leave things well alone?
