Is there a maximum number of threads per day by one member, in each section?

I just need to find out cause if I get loopy and start posting loads of threads in one section in one day I don't want to get in a troubles


I mean threads that are perfectly within rules, how many before we would get a scary message telling us off

Just to make it into not-three paragraphs cause three will get me

i cant edit now, i wanted to add that in the past, getting loopy has caused me to post 4 pages worth of threads simply cause i was making myself loopy

that was a pretty bad episode that time but it happens where i'll be really nasty in posts towards myself then it changes to getting loopy and being a thread spams, i do know that 2011/2012 was my worst for making thread spams cause the meds i was on was making me more unstable, i wouldnt be likely to post literally 4 pages worth of threads now but i dont know how many threads i would be likely to start after going from self hatred into thread spams mode, which i have never had much control of, i dont do that deliberately

the meds was also making hallucinations as well, really bad ones

just to make this into 4 paragraphs here's another line and another guy hiding under something

Well... the Skeezyks is no authority on the subject of what is, or what isn't, allowed here on MSF. But to my knowledge there is no limitation on the numbers of threads per day a member can post in each section.

With that said, though, it is my personal opinion that one can overdo it to the point where other members just stop replying especially if most of the threads are on similar topics. So, I think there's a "fine line" between not posting enough so that other members start to forget about you (something I'm guilty of) and posting so many threads that other members start to tire of replying to so many threads posted by the same member. "Moderation in all things" is the maxim that comes to mind here. At least these are my personal thoughts on the subject.

You should not flood the forums with repetitive, constant posting that denies other members their rights to have their threads and posts also seen on a forum's main index page. We do not set hard limits on this behavior, because we're all mature, responsible adults (or older teens/young adults) here and we've never had the need to oversee a member's behavior in that manner. In short, we trust our members to act responsibly and in a respectful manner toward their fellow members.

Members who choose not to act responsibly would likely find their posting privileges suspended for a time, until we were certain they could once again post in a manner consistent with our community guidelines and Terms of Use.

While I understand mental illness affects people differently, and such a behavior might be directly related to an episode or symptoms of mental illness, that doesn't excuse the behavior. In the 21 years operating this community, we've never had any issues of this nature.

So please respect your fellow members and never post more than a few new threads at a time in the same forum. (Only talking about new threads; not replies to posts, especially in forums with exceptions like Games forums.)

Thank you.

Okay doc john just so i'm clear though, starting (for example) two new threads in the same section about different things is not a thread spams? In my case, back in 2011/2012 it was partly a symptom of mental illness and partly the meds i was on that was actually making the problem worse, i became more stable after they worked out which meds was causing the problem, in the case of a meds being the problem and as a result its a very short problem on the forums, would we still get into a troubles if the instability was meds related and it got sorted within months of the doctors changing the meds around etc? So much of 2012 is blocked that i honestly dont know if it was months or just weeks and sadly the forum i was on at that time is no longer around, i'm just making sure for in case theres a problem on this forum if i have to go back on meds and while the right meds are decided upon, i'm just being sure cause i dont yet know if i'm going back on one of th e meds i was on, hopefully not the one that actually caused the problems hallucinations and stuff quietaprine or whatever it was called, that was the one that was causing the problems back then, the hallucinations and stuff

sorry i made a essay

I'm happy to hear you have your medication situation largely sorted out. I don't think 2 threads in a forum qualifies as flooding the forum, as in the example I gave, you'd have to post 20 new threads to bump every other post off of a forum's index page.

Remember, we're a community here, made up of people who are all struggling with one thing or another. As long as you're respectful of other people's struggles and don't try and overwhelm a particular forum with your own posts, I think you'll be fine.

The community support team rarely takes action regarding a member's behavior without first talking about it, and then contacting that member privately first. We always seek to have a reasonable discussion with people to help them understand what the specific problematic behavior was. Most people, most of the time, are completely understanding.

I don't think you have anything to worry about. Thank you for your question.

I'm not sure what your question is here... What if you get contacted by a member of the support team?

Moderators and members of the community support team spend as much time as needed to explain to a person where they may have parted ways from the community guidelines. Although we are only just volunteers here, they want to ensure you understand what the issue is.

If you have any further questions on this issue, I'll be happy to answer them in PM. Thanks.
