[HPFGU-Feedback] Re: What Price Success? Improving Posting Quality on HPfGU

[Sherry Gomes]

hi,

I've been thinking the last few days about the idea of posting limits.  here
is a reason why I don't really support major positing limits for the most
part.

For the last few days, there's been a long discussion about whether or not
Draco Malfoy is evil or sympathetic.  At first I wasn't reading this,
because I'm not much interested in Draco.  however, as some of my favorite
posters got into the mix, I started reading.  it was a good debate.  Betsy
had been arguing for the side that Draco is a sympathetic character and
misunderstood.  Others mostly argued the opposite point of view.  But Betsy
always had good points for her rebuttals against all who argued for Draco
the lame or evil.  Then they had good rebuttal back.  Whether or not someone
is interested in Draco, the debate was great!  A three message daily posting
limit would have seriously curtailed those exchanges.  

Another point is, what will be the cut off?  With eh variety of time zones
represented on HPFGU, how can it probably be enforced?

Usually, most members are very good at making sure their subjects are clear,
so it's very easy to delete whole threads that aren't of interest, without
having to impose limits and limiting well thought out debate.

Just my few cents on the matter!
