The rapid fire machine gun blasts of posts are wiping new posts off the /s/all/new page in a matter of an hour or two.

A reasonable daily post limit should improve the quality of posts and reduce the occurance of redundant posts.

I think a 50 post limit would be like no limit for most posters, and amply liberal for prolific posters.

Thoughts?

Poal barely has enough content to get me through the day as it is. While I'm not a fan of a small handful of users being the greatest share of posts made on Poal, if it wasn't for them blasting all day we would not have anything to dig into. An artificial daily limit on posts per user would definitely impact the content and variety of posts with no added benefit of improving post quality because it will not change what users post only how much they post. Just look at how many subs have minimum quality rules that get ignored and unmanaged by the jannies/mods. You can't fix the quality problem any more than you can get niggers to stop nigging by making laws.

I'm against putting any kind of daily posting limit per user. I don't see how it will improve quality and will only reduce the daily content to anemic levels.

Morbo, I could disregard POAL etiquette (carelessly blast out every article I see that might garner an upvote whether it was previously posted or not, not archive a damned thing, not use pic8/vid8) and post 120 or more posts a day as well as anybody (remember the volume of QStorm/QPatriot posts ~2 years ago), but there would be much screaming and knashing of teeth as quality posts are slid off the new page before they have a chance to trend and/or are stomped by new posts of the same/similar content. Anyone searching the web, reading the articles, previewing existing posts to avoid redundancy, archiving, downloading, uploading, pic8/vid8 converting would be like trying to post in handcuffs as I crank out five posts to their one in the same timeframe. Let's get Rickki6, LakotaPride, AsianOnTheMove and a few other prolific posters back so the s/all/new page is a blur again. Were you happier back then?

I don't know how you use Poal or what view you frequent most, but I browse All/New and have no problem with content sliding off because I parse through the posts from newest to oldest. I don't care what page a post ends up on since I will read the post headlines going down to the last post I saw the previous day or previous stopping point. There are built-in tools for handling abusive users (the block button for users and subs) if you don't want to see posts from those users which will clean up your view significantly should you choose to use it. I blocked a bunch of subs I am not interested in and it got much better. I don't block users though.

Even when the prolific posters of the Q subs were around, I didn't have a problem with Q posts clogging up the feed. I chose not to block the Q subs so I could keep an eye on the posting habits of those users and spot things that were interesting to me. That included not blocking users like GodsAngell who needed to be watched and called out for blatant misinformation posting. Maybe I'm just different for not minding that KaliYuga is the top poster or that I see a bunch of shitposts I don't care about, but it seems to bother you. I just don't want to see another rule implemented for something that can be handled by other means which don't interfere with the user experiences of Poal members. Your mileage varies though.

Thanks for the response/alternate opinion. Discussion is key here.

I live on All/New, I try to cater to posting breaking news and insightful deeper reads/videos that go where we haven't travelled. I don't block users either, I see it all. There are a handful of subs that I'm not interested in, I think I might have 1 currently blocked but I've been using the all/new page vs POAL.co/new page that screens blocked subs. I liked the all/new page a lot, it offers posts on subjects that I normally might not read and expands my knowledge in those areas.

GodsAngell - too many posts, too much blitz, too much crap. I did not miss his/her departure. A well remembered POAL poster child for overdoing it on every metric.

As of late it is getting much harder to find my own posts on the all/new page from just an hour ago. If I go off to do other things for a few hours, come back and after extensive search find my last post on all/new page 3 or 4! I guess I will have to make changes and adapt.
