Is it possible to limit the amount of consecutive suit symbols used in posts?

To 13?

[billw55]

Yes, it is possible.

No, they probably won't do it.

However you can add the nameless offender to your blocklist.

Alternatively, could the mods just tell her to stop trolling the entire forum in all her posts? Seems like that would solve the problem rather than just a symptom of the problem.

[shyams]

I agree.

Also, the poster talks about "lots of love" about their own post and "too much aggression" about others.

But in my opinion, the faux love and the passive-aggresion make these posts more unbearable than the occasional flame wars between (other) posters.

[helene_t]

nah, she is just a minor nuisance, nothing compared to all the vitriol we all spit out in the water cooler all the time.

Yes, our account is now limited.
We have no more access to up and /our down-voting.

We have no more access to profile.

It could be that somebody hijacked my account...
But more possible that this was done by the administration, as a result of of the actions by a small group (at the most 7 of you, not to take into account the Double or Mulltiple users).

Most of you will know that small group of people, who, through their aggressiveness and vulgar language are monopolizing the opinion on this forum.

We do think that you should not allow them to get away with this.

So react with lot of ♥♥♥♥♥.

Mods, this is ridiculous, look at Lurpoa. She thinks she is some sort of hippyfairy, she is flooding the forums with her obnoxious objections. She seems to hate short posts and off-topic/funny posts. Fair enough. She can ask for clarification, but the gratuitous heart symbols are obviously annoying to a lot of people (8 people upvoted the opening post of Free but it is very likely there are others out there) - and what is your response? Edit Free's post.

Is it wise to react to someone behaving like a 14 year old, by acting like a 10 year old?

Use the ignore user function and get a life.

[gwnn]

Thank you for that apparently very wise, deep post hotShot. Four problems with it:

• who is it addressed to, exactly?
  
• some people do not like the "ignore user function", because it can create confusion, a notable example being unblocked replies to blocked posts.
  
• being annoyed by someone and asking the moderators to take action is acting like a 10 year old?
  
• using the expression "get a life" is characteristic of people of what age category?

Why are we talking about Lurpoa? Actually I'm more annoyed with gwnn's ♣ symbols and nige1's ♦ in his signature, I ♥ the ♥!

You know there's an option not to display signatures, don't you?

According to their profiles, Lurpoa is 19, Free is 30, and I'm sure their ♥ ♥ are in the right place

Oh, Oh baby don't you know I'm human
Have thoughts like any other one
Sometimes I find myself long regretting
Some foolish thing some little simple thing I've done
But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

What a great song! How did I not know of it before?

You're welcome.


Don't you think if I meant a single person, I would have send a PM?

So compared with your irrigation with those suit symbols, the effect of the ignore functions would be worse?
That suit symbol thing can't be a big problem than.

If you take a scale from 0 to 10 (on forum posts containing) where
0 are posts containing more or less idiotic posts that won't matter to the world and
10 are posts to induce someone to commit a crime.
Where do you put post containing:
Cheating accusations
personal insults
flooding the forum
advertise
have a very long interest list
making additional suit symbols to a post

According to this source http://en.wikipedia....ife_%28idiom%29 the idiom started around 1983 so I guess everybody could have picked it up since than.

Edited to clarify.

My profile could say I'm Santa Claus, but the PMs with wish-lists are too annoying.
Some people appear younger than they are.

Thanks for limiting the amount of consecutive suit symbols, too bad the obvious work around using spaces is still possible:

Quote

0 is the purpose of a forum to make more or less idiotic posts that won't matter to the world and
10 is to induce someonth to commit a crime.

I don't understand that scale hotshot. I think it's probably me, but it seems to sound like:

"on a scale of 0 to 10, where 0 is a horse, and 10 is an orange tree, where would you put an Interstate highway?"

I think there are (along with the majority of posts that are non-annoying) annoying posts and very annoying posts. I don't think very, very, very annoying posts will ever cause anyone to commit a crime.
