So what, we have democracy now? :scratch: Anyway, i like some of AbdulHakeems posts as well as Nightmares. However, i believe there is a limit to most things and the number of articles posted should be limited. What ever happened to the news section anyway?

assalamulaikom,
I dont think its ok to vote either, since whatever he posts its news and not something useless,and a board is there to post, if u considor that spam than maybe those useless posts and threads which are posted a lot here should be got rid of as well since that is more of a bad spam.
No vote for me! (soup nazi). It doesn't matter to me how long their posts are (when I see that somebody has started 15 new threads on 1 page I just don't even click them). But by starting 50 new threads in 1 day they bury everything else, it's just rude. Make a flexible rule; 5 new threads a day, if sombody blows it away with 20 give them 1 warning and delete all the posts, if somebody who rarly starts new threads and starts 7 in 1 day let it slide. Posting a relivent paragraph or 2 with the link is better ibn most cases.
no vote, no count
Add a "limit to new threads" option and I will;) I could start new threads for every story on BBC's front page (with links), all would be of intrest to somebody but it would still bury everything else [edit] now you got my vote :)
you got it
i want ma name on da top too...i thought i was a spammer too?
anyways i have only one problem with those bruvver's post...ermmm they discuss errmmm s-e-x openly...
so where do i vote?
i voted, leave it the way it is. Because to be honest, it doesn't effect me. I read what i wanna read, and reply to what i wish to reply to. That hasn't changed.
That's my biggest problem with the initiating threads. If you'll note, the majority of them never receive any responses, unless it's from the original poster attempting to bump it back to the top again.Quote:

I voted to limit the length. Post the paragraphs you think are most relevent to what you want to discuss, and post a link to the rest (this would also avoid potential legal problems for the board, since technically posting a full article, especially without attributation, is a violation of copyright law). And I have to agree with the posters above rgarding "burying" of the boards with new posts.
speak now, the voice of the people shall be heard
majority wins
6 days left
Don't forget "minority rights."Quote:

Set a reasonable limit, I think one of the reasons members have left in droves is the frustration of signing in and finding the forum equivalent of a ballhog flooding the forum with posts. Most of Abdul Hakeem's material is ok, but Llew Jr is way over the top..it's nice to share.
left in droves?
we get new ones in droves
this is the internet, its a very fluid medium
just as a clarification
you are saying that no one will be able to post more than say, 5 or ten threads a day?
i dont know if thats gonna fly with everyone here
(esp for those who are of the top 30 posters)
If you'll notice, the majority of the posts by those that create the most threads are those initial thread posts themselves. The ones engaged in active debate don't normally create an inordinate number of new threads on a daily basis.
!!!
I protest, that just aint gonna work! Democracy sucks (especially when ya losin' :p)
Please limit the number of new threads, but not replies (if possible). In support of nightymaremk, the links posted are seldom found elsewhere, and are a resource, but the spam splurge is just lame.
But i try to post on Islam topics, general and Lughatul Arabia. :(Quote:

PLUS i don't see how we can control it. What we delete anything that excesses the five thread limit? That's gonna be hard work in more ways than one.
That option was right not to be there in the first place.
limit number of threads
I am concerned now. I am sure I must post more than five a day and i try to post beneficial things to help people with their deen.
I would hate to see the worst option implemented through democracy.
Also it is going to be too much hard work for us moderators.
PLEASE PEOPLE THINK SENSIBLY. We are talking about punishing a whole lot of people because you don't like the acts of two people. I say either get over it, or lets decide something which directly deals with them.
A polite request even.
MAYBE THEY CAN POST ALL THEIR NEWS STUFF IN THE SAME THREAD? especially if it's related?
How about a reasonable thread limit per forum ? X amount in the general forum, x amount in current issues etc., no limit to replies.
That's a good idea. A compromise... Limit threads to x5 in those two forums. There is only so much news to report everyday, and the poster can always post more news in the same thread?
We still gonna have to monitor it though.
Also i notice its the non Muslims complaining, hmmmmm.....
Zackly. But I would limit the limit to the general and current issues forums, and leave the rest alone. These two forums are where the majority of the issues occur.Quote:

and who is gonna spend their time counting?
(i vote ruqayyah)
Perhaps you can make a "in the news" forum, where they can post as many articles as they would like?
IMHO if you just post an article, there is no reason for it to be in a discussion forum.
If someone posts an idea or their thoughts and backs it up by with an article, that is different that simply posting the "news". Those hundreds of "news" postings just drown out the posts that have actual discussions in them - and the point of the forum is to have a discussion. You can clearly see that as most of the "news" postings never get any response or discussion in the post.
Unbiased

We did try that did not work
cos u cant really tell whats gonna genrealte a discussion and whats not
and before people post they may get the impression that..yes my thread is gonna geet a lot of reply to it..but it may end up having none of at all!!!
I voted for limiting the # of threads.Quote:

10 would be perfect, IMHO.
:help:
There's only 2 or 3 people that start 10 new threads a day, often more than 30. Many are "new threads" of topics already being discussed.Quote:

Nobody has to "keep track", if half the front page is all started by one poster, count and delete, if it's just a few spread out let it slide.Quote:

I dont know why this topic is even going on at all..
Hasn't anyone noticed just with this talk..
AH and NMK have cut down on posts/threads...
If you start to limit the postings..
Next you will have ppl complaining how dead the forum is...
You can't win..
Let it be..
Here is an idea, give those users the responsiblity of posting relative articles from a single source, or posting like articles in a single thread.
So x-user could only post, say Islamonline articles, or al-jazeera articles, etc.....
Otherwise, I'll vote what Abu voted.
Your faithful sheep,
Kaph.

I really dont understand this, why is there never such a thing about the useless thread which really have no purposs or meaning even
Also many times in the past some really not nice or rather not descent threads have been posted, I see mods just let it go by and dont even delete them, then why all this big deal about spam:confused:
How about no posts without 1 paragraph of thoughtful commentary by the poster? That way we don't just get a reproduction of news sites. And it'd certainly take Nightmare and Abdul a lot longer to make their spam runs if they had to comment, thus reducing the spam.
I think it'd also foster more discussion.
