Generally posters enjoy doing things like work, school, sleep, eat, Ride their bikes, participate in other hobbies, spend time with family, and then spend some time on online forums. You really shouldn't have enough time to post so much that you get banned (even though that's not the exact reason as to why you were banned).
It's a maturity thing. Ask yourself. Am I acting like an adult or a child.
Well i don't think that while you have some off days someone could tell other how to spend them , however as i said in the presentation thread i post very much only in gt , and when i have some free time today i post 15 messages they are not so much , for a week zero , so get the conclusion
To me the upper post is an example of JUNKNetserk said:How many of the posts are of greater quality than junk?

This right here is the important point.
I have no problem with multiple posts in a row if they are substantive (for example, blutto posting articles in the politics thread), but a bunch of junk posts is just spamming the forum (and is a common rule on many forums)
Here's hoping that he'll get better after he's reached 10,000 posts :twisted:aphronesis said:Beech Mtn said:Netserk said:How many of the posts are of greater quality than junk?

Yeah, sadly blutto was traumatized by the smart from that last ban and the quality of his pol posts is tanking. Worse, his compulsive posting disorder had spread elsewhere to the point that he's been repeating himself for days with minimal qualitative yield..
This isn't the only thing that isn't entirely black and white. We handle this the same way as the other things that aren't black and white. We discuss it among the moderators.Armchair cyclist said:So what defines a junk post?
There is an enormous amount of stuff posted by just about any contributor that can be construed as junk: totally subjective, and entirely inapplicable as a standard for a rule.

Have you never belonged to any other internet forum? Not trying to be a smartass with that question. This is not an uncommon rule. The occasional throwaway post is no big deal. Eleventy billion of them all over the forum, or all over a particular thread, is spamming the forum.

with this remark you are officially not a smartass.

Telecefalus may not be relying on google/youtube for his compulsive free associations, so there's some credit for that.
For what exactly? that does not make any sense. Trying to understand what it is that he did? Care to elaborate and direct anyone to the correct location of his violation to the rule?Red Rick said:2 days
