The sensible thing is to establish a Posting Commission. Every post would be reviewed by the Commission for content before being added to a thread. However, to keep things moving, I'd propose that posts that haven't been rejected within a three-hour, forty-five minute time limit should be deemed acceptable. What do you think? Of course, I've only been a member here for six months, so what do I know. I'm only an egg.

Huevon, I respect you bro. I love you as a poster and you know that, but if you're going to put someone's name into this discussion, don't you think it would be better to send a PM? (no offense) Also, if this is such a big problem, why not just eliminate post count altogether? People shouldn't be posting here just to increase their post count. Post count means nothing to me. The only thing that matters is the actual content in the post.

The post count means nothing to me either, whatever.
While we're on the bitch fest: Anyone else find posts with unnecessary modifications, like total bolding, to be annoying?

Haha, Dumpy the message board nazi. I use the occasional "girlie post" but not too much. I see sometimes in the Nets forum posts that almost need an urban dictionary for them, but it isnt too much of a big deal. when an overflow of horrible posting comes(like back on BBF.com), then we should discuss "guidelines" even though it is practically impossible for this site to remain seen being "good" if there were strict guidelines.

Why the hell would you or Dump want to see that over and over? Let's not argue about semantics and shit like that, you people know exactly what I am referring to. Don't generalize my position please.
All kidding aside, I agree with hue on this matter. Posts in all caps (not in a joking matter) really shouldn't be allowed. Sorry to tell some of you, but "CAPS LOCK ISN'T CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL"

If deters people from wanting to stay. Let me explain: For example, have you ever seen NBA youtube debates? That stuff is childish and ridiculous, I don't want any part of those youtube comments because the people there are so immature and have no class. This isn't the case here of course, but it's a microcosm.
