Isolation

[Etoile]

Keeping in mind that no one else has a quota, nor is there any mention of a quota in the rules.

As I just said, it is not about a "quota," it is about flooding. Flooding is covered in rule #9, and the rule applies to everyone.

"applies to everyone"

9. Flooding the forum with posts, screen-breaking text, or images - or bumping old threads - and/or any non-substantive activity with the intent of disrupting the forum is prohibited.

What about when you bumped an eight year old discussion here?

What about CutieMouse bumping a seven year old discussion here?

"applies to everyone"

And for the record, how many discussions a day constitute a "flood"?

1, 2, 5 ...?

It's about disrupting the board. One bump does not a disruption make.

I have already told you there is no set number. If you flood the board again, you will be warned. If you flood it again after that, you will be banned.

I will not be explaining this further.

But many people bumping threads works just fine.

No problem. I appreciate knowing that there is an official double-standard in place.

How am I to know I'm "flooding the board" if you won't tell me the number?

You are not being helpful, it is a simple question.

I suggest you look up the definition of flooding. IRC glossaries would be a good place to start.

I'll start a discussion on the General Board and ask Lauren directly there.

I suggest you use PM, she doesn't frequent the GB much. It's "Laurel" though, so your message gets where it's going.

I've posted it here:

Laurel, what is my quota for new discussions in Literotica?

After all, I should be told what the rule is if I am to avoid breaking it.

The rule is "no flooding" and you have been told this several times. As I have suggested, you need to look up flooding.

I would rather have Laurel's definition rather than a generic impression.

As you said, Laurel is the one to have me banished.

 

[BLoved]

Out of curiosity, why didn't you warn me rather than bumping an eight-year old discussion?

 

[BLoved]

So I assume that until Laurel tells us how many discussions I can start, I'll have to ask you for permission every time I want to start one.

How is that going to work when you're operating on Japan time and I'm operating on EDT?

Care to tell me what my quota is for tomorrow so I don't have to wait for an answer, assumig I choose to start any discussions?

What? It's not fair to have a different rule for casual bdsm?

 

[BLoved]

And how does that work, asking for permission to start a discussion from someone openly hostile towards me?

How will we ensure that Free Speech and the "First Amendment" are upheld?

That's the price you pay for being Canadian I guess. Take it up with the Queen if you like.

 

[Etoile]

This is something you're going to have to figure out for yourself.

 

[Saint Peter]

You moved my thread!

That is fucked up!!

 

[Saint Peter]

Come on. Move it back. It was a winner!

 

[BLoved]

This is something you're going to have to figure out for yourself.

And in what way is that helpful?

In what way is that in keeping with:

Adherance to the rules is encouraged out of respect to all the users of the forum. Admittedly it is easy to make an honest mistake when you are in unfamiliar territory, and for that reason the moderator whose responsibility it is to ensure they are respected will attempt to be fair and helpful in letting you know if you have overstepped any set guidelines/rules, and where possible will allow the poster to correct the mistake themselves. If that is not possible, and that is subject to the moderator's decision and the view of posters on the forum, the moderator will take steps to correct the problem and notify the relevant poster with an explanation as soon as possible.

Are you telling me you can't tell me if a "flood" is less than 100 discussions a day?

50?

25?

10?

5?

1?

None?

 

[Etoile]

You said you wanted to hear it from Laurel. That's fine with me. My last contribution to the issue is to remind you that she does not read the boards, but she does respond to PMs; if you want to contact her, that is the way to do it.

I have no problem being banned for "flooding" when I have asked for a specific number that defines that term and no one chose to answer.

At least everyone will know that "flooding" is just a cover story for persecution because I reject the 'ethics' of casual 'bdsm'.

If it was a serious accusation, there would be a serious effort to ensure I understand how many is "too many".

I asked, no one answered.

Casual bdsm has tentacles you don't even know about. The vast Casual conspiracy is out to ban you. Didn't you learn anything from the other four sites that banned you?

So what's your next move? What surprises do you have in store for us in the wee hours of tomorrow morning.

Flooding - making many unwanted posts.

In other words, Bloved, there is no arbitrary number and neither Laurel nor Etoile have to provide you with one. If you make countless threads based around the same two or three topics they can (and will) remove them or combine them as they have already done.

Just trying to be helpful.

It is abundantly clear to everyone that the "unwanted posts" of which you speak is anything that argues against the 'ethics' of casual 'bdsm', and anything that offers novices some other means of involving bdsm in their lives aside from the abuse of a one-night stand.

The persecution is political.

It is ample proof the casual community is intent on making their way the One True Way for everyone.

If for no other reason than to ensure Geoff and people like him have a constant "supply" of victims.
