Huskerboard's Politics & Religion Guidelines

Couldn't a mod win  last to post rather easily by posting and immediately locking the thread?

I think you're making a leap there, personally. The fact that I don't contribute nearly as much to the football forum doesn't mean it isn't my main interest here and why I joined the board originally. I read it to stay current on what is going on and what I would add, would there be anything I felt compelled to, has usually already been said.  Where as P&R was interesting discussions with less of the same views as me.

All, we have already explicitly outlined the concept of inorganic post boosting in the OP of this thread. Please don't encourage it.

Sorry, I was not aware of the inorganic posting rule. And that bit about valueless posts across multiple threads.......well, I have a name or two to point out but I won't.

I should probably actually read all the rules sometime  :lol:

I actually don't agree with the 250 post count decision.  While it will work at keeping out the uber trolls, it will also reinforce the echo chamber it can become.  But not my call and not a forum I venture into often, so have at it.

I also don't agree with it.  Why was 250 decided on?  It punishes those who post occasionally on topics of interest and don't just go post a bunch of non-sense all the time.  How about basing it on how long you've been a member rather than post count?  Seems to me like a better way to keep the trolls out.

 
I guess 250 seems high?  Maybe like 100 would be more reasonable.  Or maybe a P&R tier level, like you can start posting in the general thread, people get a feel for you before you get unleashed on the main PR forum.

From page 1 of this thread:

The figure was debated among the leadership team so using 'arbitrary' as an adjective here is lacking in context. 250 posts is enough activity to act as a hindrance to someone who wants to join the board and violate board rules in P&R. But, it's within grasp of someone who wants to be a consistent contributor, and it gives us an opportunity to gauge how that person may behave as a board member in general.
