Is the intent that we are;

a. Voting to show displeasure at perceived abusinve or bully behaviour

OR

b. That we disagree with a persons point of view?

If its the former then great - If its the later I don't think it will encourage debate or enhance the forum content if people feel that the very active forum clique shoot them down whenever they post something that doesn't meet with the usual.  This is pretty much where this forum was a few years ago - when rather than being of forum for TT related discussion it became a social meeting place for 10 or 12 friends who shared the same circle of friends and general opinions (albeit based around a common interest of the TT).

To clarify - no critisim of Admin is intended - I'm just wondering if there will be unintended consequences.

I suppose we'll find out the first time someone posts something opbjective about MD (I love him btw).

Irrespective of whether a Posting Rate function is to be used in the Forums or not, Abuse, Bullying, or just simply unwanted and/irrelevant postings will never be tolerated. 

Postings I have made recently quite clearly identify that I will not tolerate ANY misuse of these Forums by anyone, hence the Warning system in operation to provide a fair system in the event of any misinterpretation or misunderstandings,  but clearly showing that offenders are identified and that consistent misuse can and will lead to banning from the site for either a set period of time, or forever.

If anyone has an objection to a posting, they can already report this to me, via the existing Report function located via "Report" in the lower tool bar function within each post.
