How Many Questions In 'news' Can One Ask?

[buildersmate]

How many questions per week is one able to ask in this section per week before one gets permanently excluded for abusing AnswerBank?

I do hope the answer is around 12, then we'd all be put out of our misery for ever.

Rules me out too, been reading the Torygraph since I was nine.

IMHO, this shouldn't have been posted in this section. The question is nothing about News per se.

As a QandA site surely a person can post as many questions as they like.

It is easy enough to ignore threads you are not interested in.

I think the News section hosts some very good debates regardless of who is the OP. I daren't post here but I 'enjoy' reading the threads.
Unlike Labour and the Lib Dems I hope the section is not regulated..........

Anyone is free to post, so if you feel it is not balanced add some questions of your own.

If it wasn't for the regular Poster's it would be pretty boring and I think the regulars on this site know each other by now and know how to take it as well as give it.

I generally find it fairly well balanced.

Well that raised quite a bit of interest in 12 hours hours, so thanks for that.

It's a pity those that the few who raise a disproportionate level of questions in 'News' don't attend to their own questions with decent feedback. Then again, they are perhaps only interested in the visual impact of their own typing skills (the PC equivalent of 'the sound of one's own voice'), rather than the quality of the answers.

Thanks all.

[ummmm]

I remember you telling someone off for posting a thread in Law that you deemed fit for CB. You've done the same yourself with this thread!

Without AOG the News section would be boring.

Are you really sure about that?

Here are a few examples in recent times when you have chosen to rely on your dreaded Daily Mail.

Perhaps the OP would wish to write up the rules for the news section?

Here are a few to start him off.

1/ Only one question to be asked per week
2/ Only two answers allowed per week
3/ No Daily Mail threads allowed
4/ No spelling mistakes allowed
5/ No typos allowed
6/ Only the correct use of apostrophes allowed
7/ No threads allowed that show ethnic minorities or immigrants in a bad light
8/ No objections to be made against Gay marriages
9/ No Union Flag avatar to be used if when viewed under a microscope it is shown as being upside down.
10/ Only posts supporting left minded views to be used
11/ No independent thinking allowed
12/ All news items should contain a definite question, ending with a question mark

Did you not clock that in my posts I was attacking the Mail?

Is...that...not...obvious????

Really?

I can think of another rule.

Perhaps people should be banned from posting questions, simply because it happens to black.

Especially when they cannot be bothered to ask an actual question.

I've just looked at the bottom two links. I'm curious as to what the associated thread were.

Very curious.

Surprised you couldn't be bothered to trawl down your last 20 postings in your profile, which is exactly what I did?

Covered under rule number 7.

You really should, at your age aog, know which way up our National Flag is flown, unless of course you really are distressed that you got it wrong, in which case wewould, I'm sure, understand.

I don't see what your problem is buildersmate.

For as long as he has been on here, AOG has presented many many threads based on current news stories, and it is often his habit to step back and let the debate unfold.

That said, he is more than willing and able to mix it with anyone and everyone on here.

AOG and I have had our times over the years, to the point of getting so het up that abusive phrases were exchanged, followed by abuse and a cyber-handshake.

I think his position as mainstay of the News section is admirable, and his willingness to support and debate his view is second to none.

If you don't like it, there are many other sections for your interest - but to suggest that he over-posts is not a valid argument in my view. If you don't like the threads he starts, ignore them, or watch as we regulars step into the ring for a good bout of verbal fisticuffs - Queensberry rules of course!

[andy-hughes]

Sorry - I meant 'followed by an apology and a cyber handshake' - I am too tired to be doing this now!

So are you saying that your post about Joss Stone had absolutely nothing to do with news - you just wanted to post something negative about black people?

Do you understand why some people think you might be a bit...you know...
