^I agree with SMB; what is the point? To discourage interest? I don't post on a lot of threads, however, I would like to think I am free to reply to questions or comments without worrying if I am going to exceed some arbitrary limit that serves no purpose. Clearly, if you find your favorite thread on page 3 or 5 or 10, it just means people are engaging in this forum, which is the purpose I would think. If we don't want threads moving downward, we should limit posts to one a month or one a year; see how stupid that sounds? Threads move secondary to either interest or lack thereof.
The purpose of any forum is to talk about things of of common interest, yet people want to limit talk. So how successful would a forum be if you eliminate posting? I find it ironic that the people who virtually never post want to limit posts; what could possibly be their rational objective? If you have trouble finding your favorite thread, there is a search in the right upper corner; use it. If you are dismayed because your favorite thread is buried far back, maybe it is because you don't post or maybe it is because there are literally over 2000 threads and your favorite is of less interest to the active members.
It probably affects me a lot less than some others who find interest in multiple threads, but I find the entire concept counter productive. On some days, when there is some back and forth on a thread, it is very possible to reply maybe four times in a couple hours; there goes half your permissible posts, just being friendly or answering questions. There goes any camaraderie; wait for tomorrow to reply. Limiting interaction will only result in loss of interest; it is just common sense. Eventually, the BEA will be just like the other failed big boob sites, no participation, only here, it will be mandated.
I try to abide by the rules here, as stupid as some are. I mean, seriously, who created an algorithm that censors totally innocuous words? Everyone decrys it and yet no one fixes it. How many common, everyday words are banned? I can understand models may want to limit their paid material, but I have seen members get dinged for posting pictures from social media. We have an extensive list of rules already. why discourage participation to the list? I certainly don't see the members that are actually active here asking to limit their participation, only people that virtually never post.
Which bring me to lurking. I was a member in the forum when the BEA started. Though I was absent for more than a decade, on occasion I would check out threads. If there were limits on posting, the threads would unlikely have had the same degree of banter and information. And throughout all that time, I never once came here and had the audacity to ask active members to post less so finding a thread would be easier.
Here's an idea, 13 threads fit on the first page, so pick the top 13 active ones and delete all the rest. Sure, they may be threads that 99% of people are interested in and they will stop coming here, but the thread moving problem is solved. When you bring a solution to the point of absurdity, sometimes you realize how stupid the solution was to start.
