pstokely -- are you okay? 39 threads opened since noon!

[grasswire]

Just checking on ya! That's a lot o' trouble!

1. Many of them have been locked, too...

I wonder if (s)he even noticed or just kept on posting new ones? :shrug:

[Booberdawg]

2. Over 70 in the last 24 hours. Ridiculous

[MercutioATC]

3. Agreed, but why are so many of them locked without a Mod comment?

I thought the Mods posted WHY they were being locked....

[Booberdawg]

4. Don't know. Was hoping it would stop but he has started up again

I wrote a note to admin about the spamming. Hopefully it can be looked in to tomorrow.

6. Agreed that most of the threads don't say much and are all posted

by one poster, but I don't really see it as disruptive. No name-calling, no flamebait, just a waste of bandwidth (and that's a matter of opinion). I just wish there was a Mod post saying WHY the thread was locked, especially because they're locking some and not others.

8. I assumed because it was just senseless spamming, but I don't know

[AP]

5. I think it's inevitable that there will come a time when there are just

too many threads for the DU to be useful, like there's a critical mass. I think it's a long way off. But I think it could happen. I think some people would like it to happen too.

I also think that a populary strategy for burying a thread you don't like is to keep posting to it. I know that the longer a thread gets, I ignore it unless I was in it early. So, if you don't like a thread, load it up with post immediately, and you'll discourage other people from participating.

7. I still think

pstokely and Sephirstein are actually Larry King reprising his weird stream-of-consciousness column at DU.

9. Locking.
