Petition: Flood Control?, More like flood con-GAY! Options

[evanbunnell]

Rid the world of flood control. The only reason I can see that it's here is to stop the spam that's not on the forums anywhere other than it's supposed to be... (i.e. Forum Games.) It really doesn't help anything, it just makes posting more frustrating. I've read other threads that worry about Post Per Day and Post Count itself... and I ask. Why does it matter? We don't judge people by how many times they've posted. (I've been treated like an equal since post 6. Or 7.)

So I bring this petition. Sign if you agree, comment if you do not. (But please, no flames. Keep it clean and within forum rules.)

"We, the forum-goers of createBlog.com, hereby request that the 'Flood Control' option of the forums be removed."

Please don't post useless stuff in here. It's not helping the topic at all and I don't appreciate my thread being filled with crap. Thank you.

Your topic is already full of bullshit. I posted a link to the already created thread on flood control. There's plenty of discussion there.

Yeah, I read that, but I don't think anybody should have flood control.  The thread isn't about Official Members not having flood control, it's about the abolition of Flood Control in its entirety.

"kthx"  And I don't appreciate the smug attitude.  Leave this thread and take it with you, please.  Thank you.

And that thread wasn't created merely for the sake of disabling flood control for official members; it was the compromise members and admin reached.

Why the hell should regular members who (typically) aren't dedicated have no flood control?

If they aren't dedicated, what's the problem with ridding flood control? It's rather silly to have a flood control on a group of people who do not post, not effecting them in the least. But for those of us in said group that do post frequently, it's an annoyance more than a hinderance. Also, because I read at a decent speed and can type at more than 40 wpm does not mean I am spamming or posting irrelevant posts.

I simply do not see why flood control is needed, in theory or in action.

This is flaming.  I assumed that forum was not tolerant of such posts.

And again.  This isn't about being an official member to get rid of flood control.  It's about not having it period.  For anyone.

Again, I will say that the other thread was originally on the issue of flood control for all members; the solution reached was to remove it for official members.

And that was not flaming; she was not attacking you, she was stating that your thread is crap. Which it is, because it's already been made before.

Hon. If they're not dedicated, they don't deserve it. It's even sillier to have no flood control for a member group in which there thousands of people who have the potential to spam up the entire forum. Just because you, as an individual regular member, find it annoying, admin isn't going to remove flood control.

If you hate it that much, just become an official member. Geez.

And stop double posting.
