90 Second Rule-No Venting Please! - Page 2

i think a week-long experimental reprise would be the wise course of action

Elanor · 10-12-2005, 01:49 PM

Hm, it is a bit annoying, but I can understand the usefulness of it. 90 seconds isn't too long to wait for me.

IMO, anyone who can't wait ninety seconds to see their post, should be on IM or PM with the person they're debating with. It isn't brain surgery here, it's a message board.

the reason i asked for the "test" was not so much me having a problem with the rule, as me thinking that it is unnecessary... no one posts more than 20-30 times a day here and i highly doubt that if the rule was changed people would start posting every 10 seconds for hours on end

prove me wrong

Spock · 10-12-2005, 02:28 PM

check some of your fellow mooters count day to day.

*scurries off to check her post rate*

Where did that stat go? I can't find it now!

I did discover that I am now the top non-mod poster

I think changing it to 60 seconds would be a reasonable compromise.

I think BoP's observation was helpful, too.

i'm only 1.36!
rian's 8.98
lots's only 17.89

Spock · 10-12-2005, 03:59 PM

...hmmm, that doesn't jive with what I see each day.....and no I'm not going over it with you

Elanor · 10-12-2005, 04:29 PM

Well, the stat is an average for the entire time you've been a member. Mine's super low (.33) because there was a time I couldn't come on for over a year, but on some days I've posted quite a bit.

rohirrim TR · 10-12-2005, 04:32 PM

still a week trial period is a good compromise, don't you all think?

94.5% of all statistics are made up.

LOL

loved that movie

"by grapthars hammer, the 90 sec. rule shall perish"

Elanor · 10-12-2005, 08:05 PM

Yeah, that movie's cool. I've been to the place where they filmed the planet with the Rock Giant and the little blue aliens. It's called Goblin Valley, and it really feels like some weird planet.

"Did you guys ever WATCH the show?"

Anyway... I guess that was completely off topic...
