You were asked – TMP link

I propose a simple rule, which will not fit in the title. "Should anyone who posts in a single Napoleonic Discussion more than 10 times get an automatic DH of 3 days?" grin How many times does it take to make your point? Particularly if all you are doing is attacking the veracity of someone else's source?

24% said "this is ridiculous"
18% said "1st Amendment! No limits on postings."
16% said "Let them go. They amuse me."

You expect a sensible poll suggestion from Winston Smith? You are a Deleted by Moderator!

I may not agree with what you say, but I will fight for your right to say it.

I feel this would unduly penalise Brechtel198 – he usually needs at least 20 posts to make a completely unsupportable point about just wonderful General Bonaparte was?

I got no where else to go!

You'd have to correct for the 4-8 posters attacking him though, so he would probably be allowed around 50 posts or so.

I'm glad to see "This is ridiculous!" win a poll.
As was so astutely observed above by one of my biggest fans, it was not meant to be taken seriously.

People who advocate using 28mm sized figures instead of God's 25mm scale--- there has to be a place for them.
