Limiting # of Threads

There's been a recent problem with certain users that start multiple pointless threads, specifically in the HS Life forum. Is there a way to restrict this? I really didn't think it was necessary, but I'm starting to get a bit irritated. Maybe it's just me? Can we limit the number for starting threads per day? I was hoping that I didn't have to bring this up, but it looks like a couple of users have gotten a little out of control.

Just report the threads if they are inappropriate to the topic.

wow that's a lot of deletions made . . . I mean some threads consist of stupid arguing and random namecalling, which BTW are still there, and the ones with harmless conversation were deleted . . . wow.

If you really don't like the threads, just don't read it, the forum is not catered to certain people, and deleting other threads people may have enjoyed is just kinda mean, in my opinion.

I'm not trying to delete threads, I'm only saying to limit the number of threads started. It's just that it takes up a lot of space, and I don't read the ones that sound pointless. I would never advocate the deletion of threads (unless the thread was inappropriate).

Sorry that kind of seems like a harsh reply, I was just a little perturbed that the threads were deleted, but yeah I'm getting at what you're saying.

OT conversations belong in the Cafe. The HS Life forum is intended for more serious discussions.
