How Many Questions In 'news' Can One Ask?

[buildersmate]

How many questions per week is one able to ask in this section per week before one gets permanently excluded for abusing AnswerBank?

I do hope the answer is around 12, then we'd all be put out of our misery for ever.

I don't think there is a limit any more, on numbers of postings in a given period of time

[murraymints]

????? Something you want to get off your chest ???

[friedgreentomato]

lol I believe there is no longer a limit on the number of posts one can make!

[factor-fiction]

I wondered if the 80/20 Pareto principle applies in some sections- 20% of posters are responsible for 80% of questions- but I'm wondering whether it is more like 95/5

[steg]

i don't think there ever has been a weekly limit to any section
i don't think it has ever been compulsory to read questions either

[Gromit]

It may be a coincidence, but Mr AOG has 12 postings on this page of 20.

So maybe buildersmate is highlighting that 60% of posts are from one poster.

If they were 12 different questions, then that would be fine, but they do tend to have a 'theme' or obsession (with race).

[buildersmate]

No, nothing I wanted to get off my chest, more that a perpetual poster could be seen as seeking to promote a particular extreme point-of-view, and that should be discouraged.
The idea of the site, I thought, was to enable a forum to answer genuine questions, and the 'News' topic doesn't fit well to that.
It can get hijacked by those seeking to promote a specific angle by asking a 'question' that is nothing more than a link to a newspaper article.

Hi steg, don't see you posting much. Quite agree with you, by the way.

[buildersmate]

Mr Gromit
I find your suggestion that I had one individual in mind quite unneccessary! How could you think that. Mine is a genuine question.

[Noth43]

yep, if you don't like it, go elsewhere.

[buildersmate]

I generally do, Noth.

There are posters with extreme right wing views and posters with extreme left wing views and the occasional poster with neutral views.

It's no big deal.

[murraymints]

I know what you mean buildersmate....there are some extreme schools of thought in news...I just keep away from these debates..

[sp1814]

Extreme left wing posters?

Not sure I know who they are, and I've been here for a ver...

Oh, hang on - could it be me?

All of us eh! put yourself out of your own misery buildersmate by not reading the damn posts in the first place lol!

[Sqad]

sp.....LOL.....no, you are the neutral one (the sensible boy)

"Extreme left wing views" in my mind....;-)

[buildersmate]

I have copyrighted that word, by the way, and I am very litigious.
