| In lieu of a recently locked thread, a small discussion cropped up regarding a cap on the amount of threads a user can make. One user suggested that instead of a cap, users ought to be banned from making threads if it's that bad. I think a cap would end up making people think carefully before making any thread... Considering the quality of topics lately, maybe its what this forum needs. Do you think a cap should be introduced? Please discuss as to why you think it should/shouldn't. |
| This belongs in the suggestions thread smh |
| Maybe but only limitation on daily level not week or month level that should do it i dont find anyting wrong with that possibility. Normal users would not see much of a change, and spammers would be more under control. Like 5-10- 15 threads per day limit would be fine. |

| Yes it should becz some of Malers are gay. |
 |
| No, bans are good enough. Also, consider club admins who have to make threads for their clubs. |
| What should be considered when setting up a cap? Will user behavior affect the cap at all and if so how do we define that behavior and it's correlation with increase or decrease of thread cap. |

| I think this should be dealt with manually with the admins. I don't think there should be a thread cap. |
 |
| Heres a solution. Why don't you just leave MAL, and go to all the other forums out there on the net, that already practice the censorship and thread cap limitations you so desperately desire? I'm sure there are plenty of forums out there just as big as MAL that would welcome you with open arms.. Talk about people taking a stand for completely ridiculous and nonsensical matters that don't even affect their real life whatsoever. |

| Nah. I like the freedom. Besides, MAL would probably turn into a boring homepage. |
| But muh subjectivity. I think the regular bans are enough. It's all a matter of being aware and sitting the fuck down. |

Remind me not to defend you again when someone makes a thread telling you to fuck off. |
| no i dont agree, users can just i dunno, ignore threads they dont like ??!! mainly because, some users have good threads but will be blocked by the cap, and thats not fair in any case. just use your fregin ignore button, its there for a reason u know .... besides that locked thread had SALT written all over it and i tend to NOT take into consideration salty user's opinions on any matter, mainly because they are unable of being UNbiased. |

| terrible idea what if someone's watching an obscure anime and wants to start episode discussions for all 13 episodes? what about club admins who have to make lots of threads? The list goes on. A better idea would be to be able to ban a user from making threads altogether. |
JD2411 said: terrible idea what if someone's watching an obscure anime and wants to start episode discussions for all 13 episodes? . Nobody responds in series diskussions if series is that old or rarely. Club members would get their own treatment without limit for club threads, there problem solved. |

Nicoreos said: Elaborate, also my comment earlier about keyboard warriors wasn't aimed at you more the sentence you used.More or less those who post their own threads rather than just simply posting on other threads is a potential user behavior to define. |

Talk about people taking a stand for completely ridiculous and nonsensical matters that don't even affect their real life whatsoever. Because it's spam. And spam is against the rules here. How thread making in mass amounts without clear intention does not count as spam is bewildering. Well its your opinion that my threads are spam. Otherwise mods would have deleted them and/or banned me. And besides, those are some threads I created days/weeks ago. Not my problem if they get bumped by other people too often. |
Nicoreos said: the OP suggested a universal cap on the number of threads that one can make per day, so presumably it would affect every user. Even those who don't make 10+ spam threads per day.JD2411 said: terrible idea what if someone's watching an obscure anime and wants to start episode discussions for all 13 episodes? what about club admins who have to make lots of threads? The list goes on. A better idea would be to be able to ban a user from making threads altogether. Those threads aren't spam/troll threads looking to get reactions out of others. Threads made by those in CD in the past in present who would not stop had that as their clear intention. I don't think you know how MAL works. |

mayukachan said: this is really the simplest response. There is an ignore user script. Alternatively, report there threads.ignore them |
| My experience with CD: >sees a thread made by a certain user >don't click it Report if you think the thread is bait. The 5 minute limit should be extended for CD, though. For series discussion and club, it's a different story. |

Nicoreos said: mayukachan said: ignore them Not sure how ignoring them works online. More or less, this enables them to continue their dirty work. Unless people just simply don't bother with a troll like this, it's best addressing it rather than doing absolutely nothing about it. And I would not be telling people to ignore problems that ruin the experience for certain users. Issues like these are indeed two-way streets. *sighs* report if abusive and using a cap will also ruin the experience for some users, as stated in the top replies. |

MAL is a different forum experience, which I'm sure you should have realised, even before my arrival. |

The list goes on. A better idea would be to be able to ban a user from making threads altogether. I think you've made a very good point here. It slipped my mind actually. If there was a way to make sure there's no cap for clubs/anime discussions that be great. But if it's an effort then I'd say just leave things the way it is...

If 10-15 threads per day is okay, then why even make a cap? 10-15 threads a day are more than enough! Because some people can and will type random short title threads in short amount of time or in matter of minutes. Sure they get deleted eventually but Admins cant always be aware of every spam shit that poops up i think. There are also marketing bots but that is whole other issue. |

| Rather than go through the effort of coding some arbitrary rule that could harm users with good intentions, why not just get better mods and use the fucking report button? |

Then you clearly have never used reddit. Reddit forces users to captcha every post, and there is a time limit as to how many threads you can post. And FYI, those are some threads I created days/weeks ago. Not my problem if they get bumped by other people too often. |
