Re: [FairfieldLife] Posting Limits
Remember, folks, according to Judy herself, Robin was posting a parody. What is the difference between lying and posting a parody? What Robin posted was a put-on that everybody took seriously, but when Richard posts a put-on, it's lying, according The Judge. Go figure.

I haven’t been paying attention, but I just checked and discovered that several are near, at, or over the weekly posting limit (of 50). Jim (sandiego) – 49 Turq – 50 Louis McKenzie – 50 Judy – 53 Lawson – 65 I’ll cut Judy some slack because she is always conscientious and my count may be off slightly. Lawson is out for two weeks.

Kirk, Shemp, and Richard Williams went over slightly last week. I’m not going to bust them because I went over the week before, without realizing it. So I owe them one. But let’s be more careful this week. I know that sometimes it seems like a stupid rule, and there are arguments pro and con, but I think most would agree that it has improved FFL. As long as we’re going to have the rule, I need to enforce it and abide by it myself. The limit is now 50 per week. No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

[FairfieldLife] Posting Limits reminder and hints
For the benefit of the newcomers to Fairfield Life. As you may have heard discussed, even if you didn't get the FAQ that discusses it, there is a posting limit here of 50 posts per week. The week is from midnight Friday thru the following midnight on Friday, Fairfield time. The count starts over at 00:01 Saturday morning. In terms of keeping track of your posts, if you are a prolific poster, there is a tool that works, as of this moment -- the Yahoo Advanced Search engine. It is HIGHLY unreliable; often its indexing mechanism is broken and in the past it has missed almost half of the posts made. So I wouldn't...uh...count on it as your *only* mechanism for tracking the number of posts you've made here. But as of this week it seems to be working again. To access and use it: 1. Go to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/msearch_adv 2. In the Date fields, choose is after in the first field, followed by the date of the *Friday* that starts the posting week. For example, for this week you would choose is after February 15 2008. 3. Enter your ID in the Author field. 4. Click Search. The total number of posts is shown at the top of the resulting list. This total may be off a bit, even when the Search engine is working, depending on your time zone. To make sure, click the Last link and check to see whether some of the posts listed might have fallen into the previous week in your time zone. A much better method, since the Yahoo Search engine is flaky to the max, is just to keep an editor window open on your computer and make a tick mark every time you post. Or keep a paper checklist. I'm not a moderator, and am only posting this because during the past two weeks we had a break in the posting limits, and some folks may have gotten used to the idea of posting as much as they want. Now the limits are back in effect, and the penalty for going over the limit is that you lose your posting rights for a week. The posting limits sound a tad authoritarian, and some here think they are. But they were started for a reason, and the majority of posters think they are still good and relevant reasons. I find that knowing that I have a finite number of posts each week makes me stop and think before I hit the Send key, which in my case is a very good thing. :-) Happy posting...

This is my 64th post according to Yahoo search's last seven days summary -- which gives various results sometimes, it's said. So, did I bother anyone with these excess 14 posts? I think I did pretty good at keeping it all legitimate and didn't have any ditto or I agree! or You suck! posts that can waste so much time. Also, though there have been complaints, I have not found any of the other posters to be egregious either. So, just in case Rick is thinking of going back to 35 posts per week, I add my vote for 50/week here.

To Angela and other newcomers. A while back we established a limit of 35 posts per week to “force” people to favor quality over quantity and hopefully, to cut down on bickering that was resulting in the forum being overrun with a lot of posts that the majority were not interested in. The tactic worked pretty well and policy is still in effect. The “counter” is reset every Friday at midnight. So you might want to pace yourself and consolidate some of your shorter responses.
