Limit on the number of threads that can be created in a day.

[Kimble]

Would it be possible to limit the amount of thread topics a poster can submit in a 24 hour period? Perhaps to 2 or 3? It's getting out of hand when the same poster can clog up the main page of the forum and pushing out actual topics that are meant for discussion.

And to further this, would it be possible to auto lock a thread after a certain amount of time? If a topic hasnt been posted in for lets say, 30-45 days, the thread should be moved to auto closed as it is then a dead topic. It makes it worse when not only a poster can post a lot of threads in a short time to clog up the main page, but also go back and necrobump their other threads in an attempt to do the same.

watch it, him and his twin are gonna report you and youre gonna get a 3 day ban for this.

[Tamoa]

Agreeing with Kimble. No reason why both those suggestion shouldn't be implemented, they will help keep the forum tidy.

I like the ideas as well, but I think 1 new thread per 24 hour period is enough. And maybe make it 2 or 3 weeks instead of 30-45 days for threads to get auto-locked.

You actually got a temp-ban for speaking against their foolishness?

Yup...I made a mockery thread, completely in scope with the garbage he spams 5x a day, and then made comments about it, and was given 3 days because "it wasnt about FFXI, and it was downtalking another forum member", or something like that.

So did I, a short one, but yeah.

[Spiritreaver]

Wow. I haven't seen anything like that since the time i spent on the NBC/Universal forums.

Trolls would show up there and slam shows and generally make fun at everyone, then mods would hamfistedly crush any responses for the same reasons. Even though ppl were defending the networks shows....

If you're going to go that strict, it should be per-forum section, not across the entire board. If I were to have multiple bug reports to fill out, it shouldn't take multiple days to do so.

So how come no action ever gets taken when we report him?

[Nynja]

Maybe he has 20 socks to report with, and no one reports his spam

[Spiritreaver]

Imo, its prolly because in the very broadest sense his/her/its posts are 'about' FFXI and the forum admins are looking at each individual post in this light while simultaneously overlooking the the troll-ish nature of all of his/her/its posts as a whole.

Arguably, i'd say its a good representation of the old saying, "Not seeing the forest for the trees."

Either that or the combination of ppl assuming that everyone else is reporting him/her/its posts as spam and not doing so themselves and posters actually responding to him/her/it in the first place..

There is no need to limit it, they just need to deal with the tiny minority that abuse it.

And then they just make another account...incoming hordecori.

[Kristal]

For now, just put Hordecora and hordecore on your ignore list, and tell others to do the same. At least you won't have to look over your shoulder constantly to see if you didn't accidently posted in a hordecor* thread.

[Hercule]

All this is cause of Hordecore/a troll team
