Folks, We Have a Big Problem on PJ---

---And that problem is: certain posters consistently hog the main page by posting multiple threads (four or five at a time) back to back, or spread throughout the main page (Page 1) of the Politics forum, edging out other posters, who want to be seen and heard up front. This is very selfish, IMO. Speaking for myself, I always make sure that no more than two of my threads show up on Page 1. What say we agree to post no more than two threads at a time on Page 1, no matter how eager we want others to read our material. This is reasonable, no?

The owner of the forum, SW48, expects us to police ourselves in a disciplined manner on these forums, instead of his having to come up with more rules for us to follow--or be banned by the moderators for breaking them.

I welcome reasonable responses to my proposal.
 
Yes it seems some here went to the Goebbels school of PR and figure plastering the board with spam is a good strategy. The board is already silly enough.

On the other hand, I do admit to getting a slight chuckle out of the level of desperation we're seeing. I have a feeling it will increase until December 19 when the hopes of flipping 38 (or however many it is to fulfill the leftist dream of cheating Trump out of the presidency) ends.

But still, I essentially agree with your premise.

It is a question of self-discipline--and courtesy, nothing more. I do not think it should have anything to do with Trump, or Hillary, or how dedicated we are to our beliefs. Like I said, the owner of PJ expects us to behave like adults, not spoiled children, who throw a tantrum on the forum when we don't get what we want.

Use the ignore poster function

How will that prevent spamming the board for everyone else posting? We still have to go back to courtesy and discipline. Besides, I don't put people on IGNORE unless I absolutely have to. Unless we come to some discipline on how we utilize the forum, posters will be ignoring each other for no other reason than spamming. This cuts down on communication when we should be communicating our ideas, suppressed information, and solutions to as many as possible. Discipline has to be the foundation of a civilized society, and we have a kind of society on PJ. It may come down to utilizing the IGNORE button on somebody, but I am hoping it doesn't.
 
I thought there was a rule for number of top post..................? I make a few top post but they seldom get replied too...............even if main thread maker is pushed off front page it will reply to it and bring it back..............you will be blue in the face waiting for it to do as you ask.........

Somebody find that particular poster a job. He has far too much time on his hands.

Do we really need a repeat of news headlines that were already on the 10 o'clock AM news, on the 1 pm news, and the 6 o'clock news? Sheesh---

If I might weigh in on this dittofest....

Why are multiple thread by "the same poster" on the page? Because they generate interest - multiple pages of posts. Threads not generating interest fall off the first page. Someone's got to start threads generating interest.

Speaking of which, you and everyone else carping about this should start your own threads with topics of interest, instead of starting threads whining about someone else starting threads. Challenge yourself.

As usual you have no weight to weigh in with.

The "board" he's referring to is "recent posts" ... so it contains all forums.

The action he's referring to is posting six top posts back to back in time.

It wasn't about content, genius.

Your threads don't generate interest, if they do the interest is soon going with your calling those not liberals liars and now your trolling points bullshit.......there is a cure for it since few libs reply to your dittofest.....those you call liars can ignore your insanity..............I remember you telling the owner once in a dispute how great your threads were and the replies they draw...........you must be one lonely lib!

This is a rather dopey discussion.

Again, don't waste time carping. Start interesting threads.

Those "back to back in time" posts were over three days. I agree with Bugsy - if you are uncomfortable with the posts on the front page, make some posts & see if they stay on the first page. If they don't, you can rest assured it's because no one cared to respond.

It's exhausting .....really

Or quit whining, leave, or take them head on.
No body likes a sniveller.
