Is the "minimum post" rule working?

[Cornish Steve]

I'm not sure that it's encouraging meaningful posts. Newbies are tempted post a slew of welcome messages just to bump up their post count.

LOL

Like the person who joined this evening and in the next 7 minutes went on to “welcome” 9 other people all of which had joined before her!

Yes I saw that ... my list of new posts were littered with the same name ... 25 posts and only here for just over an hour and a half!

Its difficult ... do you advocate then Steve more of a time thing then?? As the poor mods dont have time to work out if they 'deserve' it!

Theres a post limit and I believe a time limit too - 15 posts and 15 days.

Doesn't happen often enough to worry about.

Maybe it happens more often but the mods are quick to take action so it is not always visible???

I notice the offender I mentioned has been dealt with already. That's a least 25 posts deleted late on a Friday night.

I am sure a lot of their work goes unseen. Thanks for doing a great (and I am sure at times, difficult) job.

 

Don't enough to worry about.

I wonder if Hannah the Spammer actually understands the irony of this reply.

Coming so soon after the poster I mentioned before, I think the other 13 posts made by this poster today rather prove Steve right.

It's a good job there is a time limit in place as well as a post count limit.

PS Mods can you leave the above reply in? For once it is actually relevant to the thread. Even though I am sure that wasn't actually the poster's intention.

I take that as no then!

Sorry - I missed your request while clearing up the other mess they left AND the members posting at her after her spam!!

I've just restored the message above.

Anyway she's been banned now

Thanks Rob

I was only joking. I didn't really expect you to read through every reply to every spammer and see if somebody had asked for the post to be retained.

I just thought this post was particularly ironic and rather reinforced what Steve was saying. Based on her other comical Babel Fish type translations, I am sure Hannah the Spammer had no idea what she was actually saying.

Leaving this post in also helps to show what a great job you moderators do. Like I said, I am sure most of it is unseen.

Many Thanks

Perhaps some think that it's 'essential' to post vigorously early on so that they feel part of the team!!
