This is my 6000th post in forum.

Today I was replying to some threads.After that when came back to home page of forum I saw a number of new threads in home page and second page.Actually a flood of new threads!!!In midst of these flood some good thread may drown for ever.Experienced members may be able to find old threads while the new members not able to. So I think there should be restriction on number of new posts per day by a single member.What you feel friends?

The old threads are likely to be lost in crowd of so many new threads. It is possible to trace the good old threads by search option. Also, a member may mark certain threads as favorite. Restricting number of new threads by a single member will adversely affect members' zeal to act. Let us not discourage the members by restricting the number of threads.
Congratulations Abid for reaching another milestone!!!. I feel that there should not be any restriction posed on the number of threads a user should create.But the members also should understand their responsibilities to bring in more good topics rather than flooding it with threads just for points. :) :)

Gulshan Sir,Is that you in the avatar space?.Nice to meet you!!!
You are quite right,Gulshan! Any restriction would act as a dampener.I hope members would display the kind of maturity which is expected for the betterment of the site.

Yes. I have replaced the image with my actual photo. Thanks for your interest.
Friends,
It is OK that restriction will be a negative energy.So it is nice to take a control in posting new threads yourself.Thanks for this feedbacks.
Nice to meet you gulshan sir.....Even i agree with your view point....
Hey Abid... Congratulations..

You are right Abid.. and thats a wonderful idea too. Hope to see this implemented soon. :)
Abid, many warm congratulations on reaching 6000th post! Although I do agree with your point of view, because that has a matter of chagrin for me too lately, but restricting the number of posts is not a solution. It is the moral responsibility of each member!
Nice to see Gulshan sir avatar.. :) Abid Congratulation for reaching 6000 post and i agree that some threads are really not useful at all..But restricting is not the way is people think beyond making points then we can definetely imporve the forums.
Congrats Abid on your another milestone.

I too support Gulshan's point. They might be posting unnecessary threads now but they will realize later and may become another Abid Areacode :)
I agree that it is moral responsibility of every member that they post meaningful thread but we should also keep in mind the estimate loss of knowledge we may suffer at the newbies expense and also the contest motivates the new members to post new threads so they can get revenue share.

The best possible solution I can think of would be to make some forum threads sticky which are really helpful. Some forum threads can be kept sticky for a week and then can be replaced by other helpful forum thread. I also think that announcements by Maverick should be made sticky too for some time so that every sees that what is going on!

Anyways these are just my 2 cents!

Your suggestion is good i hope this can bring quality to forum post..And if I am right already important post and announcements made by Maverick are made sticky ..you can observe it.
Congrats Abid, that was indeed a point to bother because sometimes I see almost all news headlines as threads but no way, we have to bear some husks with the grains. Members themselves should understand.
Thanks sir for encouraging . Your words are true . This type of restriction will minimize the zeal of new people in this site.
Thanks friends for all these responses.I think some threads are to be locked immediately to save other threads.Today itself I saw a thread on Commonwealth game came in front.So Maverick may consider locking the unwanted threads .
I think Maverick hadn't looked this thread.Hope the old threads will also be locked soon.
Thank you for sharing the information, keep posting more and more
Congratulation abid......
You are right Abid.. and thats a wonderful idea too...
:side: :side:
Thanks to Sarala and Ravi Shankar Prasad.Let them be discussed.
hello friend i did not have any idea about it so i cannot comment on that it is not my opinion.
