    I wouldn't categorize it as incompetence, but it used to be common practice for mods to require an OP to contain a threshold of substance.

    The idea of limitations on the numbers of threads a person can create is just silly. As others have said, it limits discussion in a terrible way.

    If you dont like a person, put them on ignore. Problem solved.

    Good way to destroy a discussion forum. Try having a social meetup where each person is allowed to say one thing per night.

    This should definitely be moved to Site-Related. It is not Dolphins news, strictly speaking. This is my one comment for this year.

    No. To the extent duplicative threads are a problem, merging is a superior solution.

    Speaking as someone who starts a thread about once a year, it would be a pretty dead forum if everyone was like me...

    When people use up their one thread during a week they will still say what they want to say in other threads, so I think you'll find people posting what they want to post on topics that are outside of a thread's intent, creating a bigger mess.

    I don't think the start of a new thread has never been a problem on any forum- if it's a horrible topic, people just don't reply. If it's a great topic, people engage it and have conversations. And with everything else, a few members turn it into a Tannehill thread to start endless arguments.
