Should there be a limit of 1 new thread a month?

[JackRiddler]

This is a general question for all, and not directed to anyone in particular: Should each human-individual RI user be limited to starting no more than one new thread a month? (Obviously this would have to include anyone using multiple identities or sockpuppets.)

[seemslikeadream]

you really need to stop

I don't have a clue WHY you keep bringing up sock puppets

why are YOU so fixated on this

there are no sock puppets here ...if you have some kinda evidence of this please produce it NOW!


you are NOT going to get ANY rule changes

[JackRiddler]

Thank you for kicking this important thread. Let's keep this serious and neutral proposal for board improvement at the top, so that everyone gets a chance to vote and we have a decent sense of what the active membership thinks.

[RocketMan]

Wow, now this sock puppet reaction got my attention. Why so exercised?

[seemslikeadream]

because it is a fucking untruth that Jack is spreading and he should just fucking stop it

Jack is the one that is so exercised this morning about sock puppets he is the one that started now 2 OPs that have included the words SOCK PUPPET


YOU SHOULD ASK HIM WHY HE IS DOING THIS

he is the one that keeps repeating this LIE


if he has some kinda prove of this he needs to PUT UP OR SHUT UP
'

HE IS SPREADING LIES...that is why

yeah I am pissed

[Belligerent Savant]

How do you know it's a lie? He's speaking generally.
You know for a fact there are no sockpuppets in this forum? If so, how do you know this for a fact?

[seemslikeadream]

he is repeating this lie ...you should be asking him why he is doing this

DO YOU NOW FOR A FACT THERE IS?

JUST WHO WOULD THAT FUCKING BE?

why is it so very very important for him to include those words AGAIN in another OP

you are not going to get a rule change and you know it, so why continue this farce...to continue lying?

[RocketMan]

As laid out by JackRiddler, you have flooded the forum for a long time now (just take a look at the front page and the user names that have commented most recently on the threads, it's pretty blatant, I won't bother with a screen cap), and thus would seem to have no reason to be worried, but your reaction is completely out of proportion if that is indeed so.

[seemslikeadream]

I follow the rules unlike Jack

[RocketMan]

Yeah you follow the rules like Joe Biden follows the law.

[seemslikeadream]

have fun......cry babies

he is using these two OPs to promote his personal agenda, he knows damn well there will be no rule change but he needs to cry about it, poor Jack can't shut me up so he has to. throw a hissy fit and personally attack me

his OP statement is as transparent as a whole in a wall, he is not fooling anyone

of course it is about me ....who else would it be about everyone here knows exactly who he is talking about ....does he think everyone here is that niave?

Anyone with eyes or operating from a degree of honesty knows this because it's so
clearly obvious. But the idea of "one new thread per person per month"
is completely unworkable on its face.

go ahead and try to push YOUR CENSORSHIP AGENDA here ...see how that goes

NO one in 15 years has ever suggested this place be censored


RI will not be censored


a one thread rule would be CENSORSHIP....IT AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN


what an OUTRAGEOUS suggestion

CENSORSHIP
the suppression or prohibition of ANY parts

"inconvenient"
Censorship is the suppression of speech, public communication, or other information, on the basis that such material is considered objectionable, harmful, sensitive, or "inconvenient". .


THIS OP IS DISGRACEFUL....I can not believe it was even suggested not once but twice

The suggestion of this OP is the antithesis of what Jeff wanted here and anyone that voted for it should be ashamed of themselves...maybe they need to back and read Jeff's rules

When Jeff invited me here 15 years ago he NEVER told me there was a limit to what I could post about or limit how much I could post ...I think I will go with that after all he is still the owner of this board

Welcome to the RI board.

While Rigorous Intuition welcomes a range of informed perspectives, it is not intended to be a forum for the re-fighting of elemental human values. It should be assumed that this is a place where the dignity and rights of all people are respected. Members who challenge these rights may be regarded as disruptive, and members who habitually challenge them will be banned.

This is an anti-fascist board. Propagation of fascist, neo-Nazi and "white pride" causes, including sympathetically linking to sites which advocate such, will not be permitted. This includes revisionist histories of the Holocaust.

This is an anti-sexist board. We correctly assume that women, as a group, have been and continue to be the object of oppression based upon their gender. It is expected that members will respect the rights of women to justice and equality in all spheres of life, and to a positive experience of RI. Contending that feminism is a "New World Order plot" will not be permitted.

Posts advocating violence, or espousing hatred of a people based upon race, religion, gender or sexuality, are not permitted.

The charge or insinuation of "disinfo agent" can almost never be proven, and poisons and often ends meaningful discussion. Therefore suggesting a poster is purposefully spreading disinformation is not permitted.

Please refrain from personal attacks, and keep arguments issue-based.

Members can help maintain the health of the board. If you see something that you think needs attention, please pm myself or a moderator with the link, or use the alert button.

Thank you for your civil and thoughtful contributions, and your cooperation in helping to generate more light than heat.

First off, I don't know how "one thread a month" would be implemented given the interface. Second off, I like all of the personalities, PEOPLE here and then it would fall on me and others to manually go in and ban people creating bad blood/feelings for doing nothing other than typing on their keyboard. There cannot be rules that are good for some and bad for others. I really don't want to make any moves to alienate anyone who especially have been here a long time.

Some of us have differing thresholds and as long as I sit in this spot of seeming power, I see no problem with anyone. Long ago, I was asked to manage a restaurant I spent a long 10 years at and I said I won't be a manager but I will manage. Open and close it. Do inventory. But I am not going to tell anyone what to do, is what I said. Ask for help or help when needed for sure, but I did not want to give orders because in all my life I have hated being given orders and supposed the feeling was mutual. The place ran itself because of teamwork and respect. So I said I'll take the key to open it up and close it down, but I did not want to tell others how they emotionally take or do shit. Just do your jobs and be a team. A team of other entities that may not see eye to eye but were all in the same boat.

I realize this is just a minuscule population of inquiring minds (plus, I guess, "sockpuppets") anymore and not a business, but respect for one another is what gets us through no matter the irritation. And I'm not going to take sides in something so inconsequential when it comes to it but, again, is merely a sounding board that some have still stuck around for.

[seemslikeadream]

so I take it there will be no rule change?

Is it respectful for Jack to claim that I post CIA propaganda?

I consider it a personal attack

.........and poisons


the three people that have voted to censor this board should be ashamed/conscience-stricken

Sockpuppets are forbidden on RI since 2010, per Jeff. How is "including" them even pertinent?!

[MacCruiskeen]

The fact that something is forbidden does not imply that it never occurs.
