We're thinking of instituting a daily maximum number of threads anyone can post in GD: Primaries.

[Skinner]

Please vote to express your opinion here:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x4501796

And kick this thread so more DUers can see it.

1. I have voted

I think that is a good idea.

[flvegan]

2. Great idea!

[TZ]

3. I voted

Great idea.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

4. I voted too, but think it's a bad idea

GD-P is like a sewer system for DU. Block it off, and there's trouble spilling over into the other forums.

These days, even GD looks like a haven of sweetness and calm, compared to GD-P.

[darkstar]

5. I'm in favor of this

Will cut down on the Hill-bot and Cult of Obama one-one line, rhetorically-challenged, and insight-free posts.

[Fire Walk With Me]

6. This is a RickRoll, isn't it.

[darkstar]

7. hahaha

What? So I lied. Sue me, sue! :rofl:

[Fire Walk With Me]

29. This is a nipple roll, isn't it.

[quip]

31. You wish.

Only the shadow nose.

[Fire Walk With Me]

32. I say that we take a poll for Skinner to limit the number of RickRolls a DU'er can post in one day.

[quip]

33. Blasphemy! A pox on your lap....top!

Okay, make it an even dozen... :think:

[TZ]

35. Ding! Best idea yet!

Fellow Rick Roll victims unite!!!:P

[Anarcho-Socialist]

42. I've already started a poll here

democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&ad...

[TZ]

43. You sir,

Are an evil bastid!!!!:spank:




Okay, I admit, that was pretty clever......:rofl:

[Anarcho-Socialist]

44. Thanks for voting

I assume the proposed initiative meets your approval.

:)

[TZ]

46. Yeah well....

I have to say you were just about maybe the last person (well except maybe varkam) I expected that from!!
Temeah's gonna be jealous.....:rofl:

[Anarcho-Socialist]

48. heh

Well then my good friend, you have more to find out about me than what you thought :)

[TZ]

34. Gonna have to be slicker than that, slick

I didn't click. Ha, ha!!

[Redstone]

11. Hey, I'm all for it. But you KNOW you're going to get people bitching about how

you're proposing to "restrict their Freedom of Speech."

I'm sure you'll know how to respond to that.

Redstone

[LaurenG]

12. I'll kick this with pleasure

:kick:

[johnnie]

13. I think it's wrong

Let each person decide how much shit we want to hear from each person. There is an ignore function on here I have heard.

[Midlodemocrat]

14. Of course you are right, but when things go batshit and we get to level 1

the ignore goes away.

:hi: johnnie. Nice to see you!

[johnnie]

15. Oh yeah, forgot about levels..lol

I have never put anyone on ignore so I didn't know it disappears. I love everyone here. :) Great to see you too Midlodemocrat! :hi:

[Midlodemocrat]

16. I just know that when things heat up, thread after thread

appears about how 'now that we're at level one, I can see all the assholes' :rofl:

You know, though, maybe instead of limiting threads, Skinner should remove that ignore elimination. You're on to something, johnnie. :bounce:

[LaurenG]

18. Johnnie! where have you been? I've been thinking about you

:hi:

[johnnie]

20. Hiya!

I've been here, just more reading than writing. Thanks for thinking about me, every little bit helps! LOL :hi:

[Blue-Jay]

17. 3 - Good idea!

Do it for the Lounge too!




























:hide:

[Flaxbee]

19. voted

and kicked

[Anarcho-Socialist]

21. Damn you Skinner for rickrolling me

:)

[Guava Jelly]

22. I voted 3

Thank you for doing this....

[Xipe Totec]

23. AFT n/t

[CorpGovActivist]

24. I defer to your judgment, but...

... FWIW, I voted 5.

As one who has yammered at times, I will say that 5 should be sufficient to:

1. Send out the meme your personal Muses insist *just has* to be thrown out there.

2. Countermeme the "ridiculous" and "irrational" meme "the other side" is spouting.

3. Make a mirthful attempt to be a bridge over troubled waters.

4. Make a thinly-veiled spoof of the whirling dervish du jour.

5. Craft a thread that you honestly thought would fall down the memory hole, but which emerges as the dark horse favorite.

Anything beyond that, and you're not drinking enough.

:toast:

Thank you, from the tips of my toenails, for creating DU, Skinner.

- Dave

[CorpGovActivist]

25. P.S.

If you ever need help with marketing or PR brainstorming, please don't hesitate to ask.

[Zornhau]

26. can we make it zero?

:evilgrin:


:P

[ThoughtCriminal]

27. GD-P is sort of like the Gutter in Bowling

Anything that keeps their ball out of my lane.

[Coyote_Bandit]

30. Skinner to the rescue.....

I was beginning to fear that my DU was going to completely disappear since I find it aesthetically necessary to keep hiding threads and adding to my ignore list.....

[BlueIris]

36. Anything you can do to curtail the madness would be great.

I'd also suggest mass bannings of repeat rule-breakers, but I realize that's only part of the problem.

[Generic Brad]

37. Will this encourage quality over quantity?

I don't think so. There will just be a little less drivel from the usual suspects. But there will still be drivel.

[Lil Missy]

38. But much less drivel. n/t

[Donk Yore]

39. I don't give a poop because

people should be able to express themselves as many times as they wish. you already have hide a threads.

[MonkeyFunk]

45. No one has

40 or more interesting thoughts per day. Some people just can't help but start a thread every time their dog farts.

[Lil Missy]

40. bedtime kick

:kick:

[GirlinContempt]

41. wheeee

[leftofthedial]

47. Zero?
