Earlier this evening, Vaj deleted seven posts that he made in the previous few days. This struck me as a bit suspicious, so I tracked down this evening's deleted posts by looking on the FFL website for the time that neighboring posts were made and then finding his posts in that time slot in my email feed. As far as I can tell, he was just doing random deletions. None of them were cases of deleting duplicates or editing by deleting and reposting. There were also a couple random deletions earlier in the week and one post, delete, repost. My suspicion is that Vaj intentionally overposted this evening to see how the posting limit would be enforced. Well, here's the deal: it's a matter of intent. Judy's situation was an innocent mistake, and her deletions were the only way she could attempt to rectify it. Barry could have posted 51 last week, and I'd have let it slide because I saw that he did a post, delete, repost. Vaj's deletions, however, appear to me to be nothing more than random deletions in order to get around the posting limit, and that's not gonna fly. I will also add that having to dig through the various databases to find the deletions and see why they were made was a significant chunk of time that I'd much rather have spent doing something else. Right now I am very annoyed by all this, and it's all a bunch of posting limit bullshit that I didn't want to have to deal with in the first place. When Rick asked me to be a moderator, it was just going to be handling subscriptions, keeping an eye on uploads, and dealing with spammers. Now, I'm in charge of bullshit that I absolutely hate, and I've had it up to fucking HERE with all of it. At this point, the posting limit either needs to go or Rick needs to get a new moderator. I'm done dealing with this. OK. New rule, as Bill Maher would say. From now on, anyone who exceeds the 50 post limit is out for a week, regardless of deletions and any other circumstances. I'll let Judy and Vaj stay this time, since her mistake was innocent and you can't be convicted of violating laws that hadn't been passed when you violated them. Vaj's behavior apparently was less innocent, but as he said, he's been bumped in the past for making the same mistake Judy just made. So let's all act our chronological age. I'm in the midst of switching WordPress themes on BatGap.
