Rule 8: On the Number of Controversial Threads a Member Can Create Every Day

Thank you for your replies, everyone! I will wait to have a few more votes to decide, but it seems that 2 or 3 would be preferable (as long as they are not on the same topic). If one posts 3 threads on a given topic every day of the week, that would still end up flooding the first page.

Since this is a club where the members would mostly read all the posts instead of a general forum, numbers doesn't really concern me to be fair.

I'm against any limits for the sake of not making this place a graveyard too soon

I see no reason for that to be the case. Remember that only a few topics were created in CE every day, and that was still enough to produce more texts than most people could read in a single day.

It would be nice if you stopped using the word graveyard in all your posts. This is a bad omen.

The thing is that people who join this place are the CE regulars instead of new people. CE regulars would already know what is the ideology of the said user are (me being a pro-China Marxist-Leninist, Only_Brad and Nyu being a Nazi, etc). In the general forum CE, with a lot of posts made by me dominating it and burying other's news, new members won't have the prejudice against me, which I believe a lot of the regulars might have here. Those new people can read my post in a more neutral perspective I guess.

Sorry, I do not understand how what you said relates to my reply. That people do not read every thread does not have much to do with you I think.

New people have less barrier and are more volatile. Hopefully I can bring them to embrace Marxism-Leninism with me spamming news back in the general forum CE. But in this club CE that's simply not possible.

Wow, you have not given up yet on your futile dream to "convince" people with propaganda? Do you know that this is not how it works?

Only but the feeblest of minds will fall for such trickery.

Alright, if I don't forget
It seems to be surprisingly more lively
For a moment, I thought it would stay at the same level with just 1-2 topics

Well, the club system isn't promoted strong enough for new people to take a look in the first place. Also, most invites have been about people frequenting CE and it makes more sense than trying to invite people who would barely or not even post there
There are btw no Nazis any longer, only ex-Nazis and pseudo-Nazis
I don't have any prejudice against you even if I don't agree with the ideology you seem to be promoting

Thank you. Indeed, the invite function was not working properly and I manually sent many invitations yesterday.

By the way, feel free to suggest ways to promote the club. Since I cannot create a thread on CD about it, my options are rather limited.

Not for what
Many people had already been invited, but I guess that some were waiting to see whether it would be worth to join

You could create a suggestions thread and sticky it
Also, if I'm not mistaken, then advertising clubs in signatures is alright

I mean, believe it or not, I used to be a liberal back then. But then I discovered about CIA intervention in my country, Operation Condor, etc and then discovering Marxism etcetc.

If by Nazi you mean the party, then yes I agree. What I'm talking about is more about white supremacist who would often throw racist, antisemitic, islamophobic, and anti-LGBTQIA rhetoric. The ideology lives on.

Also thanks for not prejudicing with any threads made by me I guess.

I mean not only the party, but also the ideology. I see now that you're using it as a shorthand for things

You're welcome ^^

You are probably right.

That seems like a good idea to me, I will think about it. Yes, one can advertise it in signatures.

There has been no new posts in four days, but increasing the limit to two threads a day as long as they are not on the same topic seems a good one, so the rule will be modified.

Only 9 people voted (I did not vote), but "2" had the most votes.

I'd be happy with two as long as one doesn't mention China.

... Looking at the threads of the past days, that seems like a good idea, but implementing such a measure would by synonym to eventually creating a longer and longer list that would reduce the number of controversial threads one can create per day to one.
