Im sorry to say but too many guidelines will see less of good posters on this thread. The thread comes under chit-chat, right?
Some of the problems that I have noticed in the last season.
1) There are some who multi-quote NOT the answers, but excerpts from someone elses answer and then they post their reply to/comment upon it. And they multi-quote not just one or two persons, but sometimes more than 5, and hence end up consuming the most space in that particular page, and that too with replies that may not interest anyone else other than those who are quoted. So multi-quoting people or their answers just for the heck of it should not be on anymore. Quoting/replying/empathising with somebody is a different affair, but quoting more than 4-6 people just to express
your opinion, or cross-questioning them is kinda annoying. So this is that.
2) Posts should not be written in non-English standard (Read: SMS lingoes) Posts could be written in Hindi, but that would fetch low number of readers because some of the users are not comfy in Hindi.
So it should be tried to utmost that replies are in English so that everyone can give your post a peek, or else the writers loss of readers is at stake.3) One-week timeline for not posting another question is a bit too much, in most peoples opinion. Sometimes, less activity takes place on this thread, and nobody (including me) cares to put up a question for the day. In that case, the guy/gal who is a regular takes the pain to post a question and keep up the activity on the thread. Why stop them from doing it?
If someone has not posted a question till morning then anybody can post a question even if its his/her second or third question of the week. 4) I agree with Mukulspock that multi-answering should be allowed. Some puys are busy and dont log in to PoH to answer question each day and so they multi-quote their answers sometimes. And their answers are too good to impose any restrictions (
anwesa09,
rahice,
geekygirl,
gudda1122, and, of course,
yours too) So this should be allowed to at the max 3 answers in a post.
Their answers in multi-quoting deserve any level of scrolling up, down, left, right, centre, everywhere and anywhere. 5) Whats sharable and whats not topic has cropped up so many times in PoH-III also. And its juvenile and exasperating to an extent now. As
Raghav sir said, its highly subjective, and can never be judged as right or wrong. In the end it all boils down to what you believe in. And influencing someones belief should not be our business, should it, and that too when we dont at all know whats deep down in someones mind? (No one knows knows that, as a matter of fact!) Some emotional posts in PoH-III have seen a great support from fellow puys, and so I think it's not that harmful as some say.
Rest all is awesome!
