So if we were to do this, what should the quota be? Want to vote on it?
I'll offer an opinion, since I can easily be classified as a frequent poster, often a too- frequent poster. And I'll abide by anything you guys decide. If it were me, and I were trying to accomplish what you are, I'd set the daily limit to five posts, with a 24-hour "suspension" (not allowed to post, period) for going over the limit the first time. For the second over-the-limit infraction, one week's "suspension." And for the third, one month's "suspension." If it works to bring the tone of the group more in line with what it once was, increase the daily limit to 10. Just an opinion. As I said, I'll abide by anything you guys decide -- no muss, no fuss. And that *includes* me leaving the group entirely, if you want.
