Ah yes, good old netiquitte. Not too popular around here
Oh?
And do you have any suggestions as to a site where it is "popular" to post only once on a topic?
Offhand, I can't think of any. At least not in Poserdom.
about certain posters who aren't known for consideration regarding bandwith and their fellow members' time
Odd that we are told to allow completely unfettered "free speech".
And then we are told to not talk so much.
I just love logically consistent thinking.
As for a thread having too many posts -- the admins can always lock it.
That way, the posts will all come to a complete stop.
And then everyone should be happy.
No doubt.
As for other member's time -- they are welcome to choose not to participate.
No one is forcing them to read things that they don't like: or that they don't want to hear.
Their time is their own, to be used as they decide. If their time has been "wasted" on threads like this one -- then that's their own doing. They have no one to blame but themselves for wasting it in reading the useless posts of others.
The bandwidth which is consumed by a forum thread is quite small.
Especially when compared with the galleries, etc.
