There was a point in time when we had members who would literally start 20 threads at once about ridiculous things in the forums. It would bump other new threads off of the front page and it became very frustrating. Nothing against anyone starting five or six new threads every day. It was the constant starting of multiple threads like "What's your favorite soda?" day after day that became too much for people to bare.

Well 20 threads a day about things that have nothing to do with horror sounds rather excessive. I understand your point. However I know that when I come to a forum as a new user I am often a bit shy and afraid of doing something wrong, and if I had been greeted with that point in your advice list when I just joined up I probably would not have posted as much as I have. Now I have Aspergers syndrome so it may be that it is just me who have a problem with understanding the meaning of that paragraph, and I in no way want to criticize. However as it stands I suspect it is a danger that new members who are nice, kind and want to appear polite will be worried they are posting to much and limit posts and threads which would be useful and interesting, while trolls who just don't car can just post and post whatever they feel like and will just ignore the advice.

Up to you. That suggestion was in place to stop the constant influx of new threads covering a topic that was two days old.

If a topic is two days old then it stands to reason that one just join the debate and do not make a new topic about it.

I personally have nothing against resurrected threads. The whole point was to make sure that there wasn't a thread four pages back on the same topic or that the topic hadn't been done 40 different times. I really don't see the problem with starting a new thread about a subject that has already been talked about multiple times as long as you call out the fact that you want to start a new one at the beginning of the thread.

Sounds fair, thank you for the information.
