Comments on Profile Post by Meko Guy

Please read my comments below on @delator77's profile regarding the subject. Flooding can only be regulated by the community.

@nGord said,' I wish we could limit the number of uploads (i.e. flooding). Ideally the Xenforo forum software would enforce a timer between uploads, but that feature is not available. After some flooding the moderators are unfortunately powerless. We could go and delete some, but usually it's too late by then and it makes a mess of the database as nothing is ever really deleted.'

'The best we've been able to do to limit flooding is to post a system notice (https://mekoramaforum.com/threads/system-notices-the-yellow-rules-and-tips.607/#post-4412) warning against uploads and asking the community to gently inform uploaders who may have already uploaded two levels in a day that it would be appreciated - if they have more uploads - that they would save those for future days.'

So if we are powerless then remove the rule. A rule is to be followed and if not then consequences will occur. Let's not teach these newbies that they can do whatever they want. My interest in the forum is running on low.....

I think there's a misunderstanding. Not flooding is not a rule, merely a suggestion to appeal to the community. The system notice is there to alert them of what is expected, but language skills and power of observation can't be controlled for. After that it's up to the community to deliberate preferences in level/profile/forum comments.

Fair enough on that wording so flooding is allowed.

I wouldn't say allowed as much as discouraged. It's just that staff can't do much more about it.
