how about a limit, in any one forum, of N new threads started per week? with, say, N=5 or so.
I think it might be a good idea!
We all have our opinions on what is good threads and bad. Why would we want to restrict all the good threads? What are the good threads?

Why bother limiting unless you make it say 1 thread per day.
Then we get the "duplicate" accounts starting several threads.

Did I mis-count? I thought there were 13 forums.

Originally posted by O Artem Ofirst, it would make people think about the threads they're starting, and maybe raise the quality a bit.
why would you do that?
second, it would stop certain people with too much spare time on their hands from taking over the forums by starting thread after thread after thread, every time some half-baked idea popped into their head.

but yeah, maybe five per week is too high. and the problem would be that you'd get one or two people who would insist on starting exactly N threads every week.

Originally posted by Kewpiethe change would be easy to make, and would improve at least gf. so why not make it?
If a thread is uninteresting nobody responds and it quickly falls to the bottom of the pile. Why fuss about it? Better to concentrate on making sure that interesting threads keep on going.
there are very few interesting threads in gf, and this might help remedy that situation by making people think a bit more before starting one.

Originally posted by BlackampAgain, what are the good threads? Everyone and their dog has an idea of what a good thread it is, and it can vary just like night & day. What a good thread is to me, could be a thread that sucks to you, and vise versa.
