Happy Friday SNDY ! Hope your 24 hours 'curfew' gets over soon :) I am with you on the question of posting limits. A few suggestions I have on this topic that might be worth exploring: (1) Cingular: Can we roll-over unused posts to another day? And let it accumulate for a week or so at a maximum of 20 X 7 = 140 posts per week. There are days when you post more and days when you hardly come to Sajha so it would be nice to not loose your unused posts. (2) American Express: Each one of a gets a rewards program whereby if you do a certain number of things that enhance the user experience of Sajha or play a role in attracting more visitors to Sajha through blogs, photographs, poetry, stories, creative writing etc, you accumulate "reward points" that give you additional posts for your contribution. (3) Credit History checks: If you have violated sajha policy in the past, then you get flagged for it, and a certain number of posts per day is taken away from you and given on a first-come-first serve basis to other users who hit their ceiling but have not been pulled up for policy violations.The violation stays on your record for a period of time (e.g 3 months) and then gets wiped out and you are back to your 20 posts. This way the total number of posts still averages out to 20 per user per day and does not create an extra load on server resources. A bit like progressive taxation :P Overall, I think the limit serves a good purpose because it seeks to make the best use of server resources and also does its bit to prevent people from staying on Sajha 24/7. San dai, I am only half-serious here with these suggestions - really putting them out for fun - so take this a bit light-heartedly. I think you doing are terrific job and have nothing but the highest regard for you. Have a good one. :)
