Could you please remove a time limit for editing and a limit on the amount of quotes? In order to limit double posts.

Removing the time limit for editing is a horrid idea. Because then one makes a hilarious typo and someone else sees it days later and uses it for a quote, the person, without having proof read their post, can go back and fix it. Not to mention that it would wreak havoc with the Debate Club. If you accidentally post your full name, date of birth, ID number and your creditcard accounts then a mod can be asked to fix it.

I'm all for getting rid of the quotes limit though.

I like the quotes limit because it subtly enourages folks to stick to one point or another. This cut-and-paste business makes threads go on for long stretches about minutia, full of "what I said" and "what I meant." Those threads tend to resemble Usenet debates, which I'm sure we all remember and st least mostly dislike.

Now usually i would agree with civ2

but the the quote limit is also on our personal messages to each other.
It just saves time to qoute and theres less confusion

if the other person knows exactly what you are referencing
sure you could use the bold and italics options but its not the same

There can be server or internet problems. Thats why the policies envision two suggestions of the site, separated by months.

Beyond that point, the chances of a suggestion correcting some kind of problem are far lower than the chances its a time-wasting duplicate.

Hence the policy, which is makes things work most smoothly for everyone. Also hence the penalties, which adopt the extremely fair approach of penalizing people only for their own actions that they could have known by reading the policy waste other peoples time.

But there are no automatic penalties, ever. The penalties are there simply to keep the editors from having any more time wasted unnecessarily, and theyre applied based on editor judgment: the first penalty isnt sudden death forever. Minor violations of the policies wouldnt result any penalty, much less blacklisting.

But remember, the point of the penalty is to protect the editors, not to punish anyone. So penalties are better than fair, theyre good

It's penalty it's penalty, it's big it's hard it's wood! It's penalty it's penalty, it's better than fair - it's good!
