Over 150 post from one poster, mainly deleted, so not really 670 , as they have gone and the bulk of the rest about the poster. Least interesting thread on here.

Actually that's a bit harsh, as you have about 50 threads nobody even bothered answering.

The SCGB 'Chat Forum Usage Guidelines' and 'Chat Forum terms and conditions' are worth a browse ...

... if you have a spare few minutes. Here are some highlights:

Excessive posting
Take care not to dominate the forum. Only post as frequently as others do. The limit for each member is 4% of the total post count within any 24 hour period. Exceed this limit and will be contacted in regards to your over usage. |
As above, this is being monitored. One SCGB director contributed almost 20% of posts on 16 January (i.e. five times the permitted limit) so there really needs to be a clamp-down.

| Be generally nice to each other ... |
A worthy objective, which we so rarely see on ski forums.
| Quote: |
| Rants and raves targeting particular groups of people, such as skiers, boarders, seasonnaires, men, women ect are not allowed. |
All very good, and what about the French?
| Quote: |
| Duplicate IDs for the sake of posting a joke or a troll are not permitted. |
Excellent

What is cialis (he says, innocently)?

An interesting stipulation. More about that later.

If I was a paid up member, i might give a toss. I'm not, so I don't, and it's not worth even the amount of time I took to type this reply.
Took a while for T+C's to be mentioned though.
anyway... :yawn smiley:

After all, it's not like anyoneother than Megamum goes to every topic they're not interested in just to say so.

That's an odd thing to say, because you posted several times to the SCGB forum on condition of all those guidelines and conditions (including the 4% one which made the postings illegal). By posting, you either directly agreed those conditions/rules or endorsed them by implication.
It's no good advising people not to read stuff that may affect them.
We've really got to get sensible around here.

Yup - this.
Almost as fixated as the person they are claiming is a tad fixated.

I stayed away from this thread for a couple of weeks. Sadly I see it is still going. Ah well, here is a bucket full of petrol to throw on the flames.
It is not illegal to post more than 4% of posts on the TeaClub forum. It may be contrary to their rules - and that is a matter entirely for members (such as myself) to decide whether or not they want to enforce that rule - but is absolutely 100% (not 4%) irrelevant to anyone else,  or anyone else. If it were really illegal, then it would be simple to sort it out - just report it to your local police force and see how much interest they take in the matter

JohnHSmith, "illegal" just means contrary to or forbidden by official rules, regulations, etc. A chess player can make an illegal move but nobody calls the cops.

Bode Swiller, being pedantic, illegal means against the law. Common usage allows it to be used as against the rules but that's not what it means and that usage irritates me. Tell me, how did Pedantica get that name.......

JohnHPedant, my dictionary, written by very clever people, disagrees with you.
I would take issue with your "bucket full of petrol", it was more like a teaspoon of Night Nurse. Anyway, in line with your suggestion, I'm about to call the Police. Back soon.

JohnHSmith, blimey you were right, they weren't interested. So people exceeding the daily 4% limit can continue in the knowledge that they are highly unlikely to be proscecuted.

It's an outrage!
If the authorities wont take responsibility, I wouldn't be surprised if someone doesn't go start a vigilante squad to fix it?

Fevered discussion over the '4% rule' on the SCGB forum yesterday ...

"It seems the 4% daily post rule limit has been deleted (or I can't find it any more)?
If so that is very sensible.
Thank you, SCGB Forum Admins.
EDIT - above is incorrect - see below - sorry"
Janet Nettleship
"As far as I can see it's sadly still there in the rules Ian."
Ian W Smith
"Janet Nettleship: Yes sorry - just found it again - but it cannot be enforced until we reach 25 or more total posts per day across all the forums. Until then everyone of us is in breach by making even 1 post.
I have no wish to dominate anything but we do need more active posters to liven up things. Hope what I am contributing is OK with the powers that be."

But it may be that the 4% rule would never have put its coat on without you. Congratulations. What the SCGB clearly needs is more influence from people sheltering in family-ruled Arab states.
