Have you been noticing how some users have been abusing the New Topic button?

It's been a while since I've posted this new topic

Maybe I should start again.:P:lol:

Does it bug you when you have 4 or 5 topics by one person on page 1 of OT?

Depends on the kinds of topics they like to create. It doesn't bother me.....most of the time.

Yes. I'm of the opinion that no one should be able to make more than one new thread in a particular board for 2 hours.

How would an excessive amount of threads by the same individual be reported?

It depends, if they create silly-trollish threads then sure, but if they're entertaining then I couldn't care less if they created 20 threads. It's just a username after all.

I said it was my opinion, not the rule. However, board flooding is a rule, and if that's happening it's best to PM a mod or report all of the threads and explain the situation in the Other box.

Board flooding was what I was aiming towards. What number is equatable to board flooding, so as to avoid the appearance of excessive reporting?

:lol:

While I can see your point, I don't think it's fair to others who open only 1 or 2 in the space of say 2 or 3 hours.

What's even worse are multiple threads by one person who doesn't participate after his OP.

Again so long as they are making good topics I don't care if the whole first 50 are from them. But it is very lame when they don't participate after making the topic. See that falls into the "Topics that suck" group :P

Interesting. What is your setting for threads and posts? I'm set for 50 threads per page and 50 posts.

I know how that is, it's frustrating, you try to give someone an answer and they just go for the other guy they are arguing.

It's not focusing on the person, per se, it's focusing on their habit of opening too many threads.

They believe it makes them popular, but board flooding =/= popularity, just narcissism imo.:)

Hogging forums likely suggests a more-than-insecure behavior, especially if said person makes new topics rapidly in a row. Rather than lambast or slam such behavior, it's probably more constructive to engage said person and find out his/her problem. The Internets tend to be the last resort for emotional help for very desperate people with personal problems.

You don't want such a dude in GameSpot's Forums. Kick him out we may, but cleaning up the mess afterwards is just not worth it.
