the only page of the board that gets much notice IS a problem.

It's unlikely we could come up with any limit that at least one person here wouldn't think was too low. Any limit under a few dozen OPs a day, anyway, since we've already had it go that high. At that rate, just two people's OPs would fill the first page. And even if those two people didn't post every day, that wouldn't be much comfort to the other people shoved off the first page by the two hogging it when they were posting that much.

Anyone else think it's unfair to ask people not to post more than 10 OPs a day?

After all, you can post more than one track in an OP, and in your own replies to the OP (which could each start subthreads).

Especially if you're posting more than one track by the same artist. As you were tonight, with your favorite artists.

I'd really appreciate it if people in Music Appreciation would limit themselves to a maximum of 10 OPs a day. [View all] highplainsdem Feb 27 OP

Seems reasonable. Nt BootinUp Feb 27 #1

Thanks! I was hoping it would. highplainsdem Feb 27 #4

The fewer you post, the more serious your posts seem. rubbersole Feb 27 #2

Understandable response. highplainsdem Feb 27 #5

I put people on ignore if they post too much pwb Feb 27 #3

I hope you make an exception for LBN, for the people posting the news stories there. highplainsdem Feb 27 #6

Anyone on ignore still shows up on the Front page pwb Feb 27 #7

OK, can we make this monthly thing? Some nights I get on a roll and post like, 14 music threads. Then disappear for OAITW r.2.0 Feb 28 #11

No, we can't make it monthly, because people often look at only the first page of the board, highplainsdem Feb 28 #12

Whatever. I'm disappointed that you think posting in MA is a problem,. Don't like. Don't click. OAITW r.2.0 Feb 28 #13

Re your saying you had 15 more lined up - you usually post no more than 10 OPs a day, max, not 25. I just went highplainsdem Feb 28 #15

I looked back to your older MA threads, from last fall, and saw that you did post 15-25 threads on highplainsdem Feb 28 #16

I suggest opening a MA window, than a DU Discussion window. Play my selections and read the news. OAITW r.2.0 Mar 4 #41

Wouldn't putting multiple songs in a thread do the same thing? I agree it's nice to have the ads cut highplainsdem Mar 4 #45

Why couldn't we put all the news in one big post? marble falls Mar 4 #48

You know that isn't comparable. highplainsdem Mar 4 #49
