What Price Success? Improving Posting Quality on HPfGU

[dumbledore11214]

Barb:
Quotas. Unfortunately it can be tricky to place value judgments of 
the posts, but it's easier to apply quotas. I think that in general 
anyone who posts more then two posts a day should be placed on 
moderation unless the poster has a history of high quality posts.  

Alla:

Absolutely, as I said earlier I do understand the quantity control, 
even though I like debates very much. Guilty as charged. :)

I vote for a number higher than two posts per day thought ( I  can 
post three posts per day, but yep on weekeneds my number can be as 
high as eight sometimes).

As Susan said though, I can control myself and do less than that, if 
I am told that I have to.

In the initial Admin reply they mentioned voluntary limitation  for 
three posts per day. I'd like to know when it is going to be in 
effect and no, I don't think if someone accidentally breaks the 
number, they have to be put on moderation. I think it is too harsh. 
I think that warning after such violation will be quite sufficient.

Barbs:
It seems to me that we have fewer really good posts.  I think there 
are still topics that can be discussed, the well is not completely 
dry, but then again I was a lit major in college.

Alla:

And I consider myself to be the one who is still learning from the 
best writers here, but I definitely learned a lot. I will never be 
able to write as well as many english speaking posters, but I don't 
think that because of that I should be drastically limited in what I 
contribute to the list. Again, I am only speaking against judging 
posts on substance. 

Even though I speak for myself only, I think that there are some 
other posters in the same position as I am.

 
Barbara Roberts, who believes the best lists are not accidents, but 
take a lot of unseen work.

Alla: I agree completely.
