Would it be possible for you to impose some restrictions on the number of questions a user can ask in 24 hours please, sort of like the ban you get if you overpost with answers.
I won't be too specific but I think there are a couple of users who take the mickey a little bit and post questions for the sake of it- mostly in one category. I just think if there were restrictions to how often they could post a question they might get bored of doing it. I don't like to come across as miserable but it seems as though they are just out for attention !
lol yes, I can see where you're coming from curly~sue (hello by the way, you well?)
I too get the feeling that some users post questions just to be heard, though I think if your idea was adopted the allowance should be pretty generous for those users who do seem to have a lot of problems/ questions in any one given day.
Can't see ya idea going down too well with the Quizzers either ;-)
Hmmm, I never thought about the quizzers, some of whom are like me and post loads of Q's, especially on a Sunday.
The people who are a pain are those that post a string of inane questions, usually in Body & Soul. Most of their Q's have sod all to do with the category and they are just attention seeking misfits.
Why can't we bring back flogging?
Surely more than one in B&S is overkill? You can usually ask it all on the thread anyway? And if you want to update people you can do it on the same thread.
You're not being mean China and I agree with you.
I just wish that people would ignore the drossmongers and not answer their stupid questions. They would soon get fed up and go back to trainspotting/pulling the wings off flies or whatever else occupies their sad lives.
Did you actually need to know about pet names? Come on now. Be honest!
Also, the baby question was a contiuation of a question from yesterday. So concievably could have gone on the same thread maybe? (I've not actually read it).
It's not just you that's guilty of it and as a Q&A site on the WWW you can and should be free to ask the questions you want answers to. It's entirely up to the users how they use it it.
However I do still think a limit in B&S would be a good idea.
There's a lot of dross in there at the moment and it's becoming tiresome. In my opinion.
4getmenot, you post relevant questions in other categories too, I don't think all 4 of your questions were in B&S were they?
There are definitely some on B&S who would peev me with their extensive postings if I wasn't too lazy to care! Perhaps if they limited it to a certain amount of questions per category per day or something?
