I think there is now.

Heh, well 24 hours I can see being easier to swallow but even I, an easily annoyed person who is disgusted with stupid people, am not bugged by the spam.

As I mentioned in the first place- the whole discussion is moot. The only one who could put such a system in place barely knows there's a forum any more.

You're right, let's talk about Pirates and Ninjas and who would win in a fight.

I've only been here a day and a half? Or two days? I was wondering why some people have been very helpful in answering my questions while others simply ignore me. When I join a board, I really get deeply involved. Perhaps this is annoying to some of you...I've been told that I "come on too strong" on the Internet. I'm home most of the time and the Internet and my cell phone are my best friends, other than my dogs. :) In person, I am very reclusive but not unfriendly. I like the subject matter on this board and it seems to be a pretty friendly atmosphere. I don't mean to offend anyone. I am just a chatterbox. Hehe. Anyway, thanks for letting me join. I have yet to spam anyone and I like to make new friends. My son left for college last June and I'm divorced. A girl needs some kind of entertainment (I quit drinking almost 7 months ago and I haven't smoked any little cigars since early July). ;)

Sorry to be so long-winded. I hope I haven't aggravated too many of you...:(

If you get an answer to something from one person, why would you want ten people to tell you the same thing?

As I said, I don't mean to offend. I do have at least one other post that I can think of that I would like more than one answer to. :) It's in the Books section...

But you didn't show up with a series of posts of "hey ! You guys have to check out this new movie ! It's great !" over and over, only responding to that since you were somehow connected to that movie. People do that often as if nobody could ever guess that. Or people sign up to ask the name of a movie and disappear. Or the new bombardment of Viagra, cell phones, shoes, etc. If they only signed up to shill something, they shouldn't be allowed to do so. Make them wait a day or two. If they are really here to be part of the community, great. If not, they won't wait and go elsewhere.
