Wow, go RedGoober!
The only problem is, the immaturity can’t be “controlled.” I think people with high post count averages should be closely monitored for post quality. If they post a bunch of “:word;” replies, and other junk like that, then they should be limited to 5 posts per day. Let them think twice before they post junk. The cool people should have low post counts, with high post quality.
There are people who post every stupid thought that comes to mind for EVERY thread they read. They proverbally puke on the keyboard and the results are what has caused this whole proposed NYSpeed makeover. Most people think twice before they press the “Post Quick Reply” button. Before I post, I usually think “what does this do for anyone?”
Does anyone really care if you agree with other people in a thread? Do you really need to add your 2 cents? These 2 or 3 word replies are really useless.
