I understand the issues with multiple posts and empathize with the extra work it creates for you, Thlaylirah. I, also, know that it really bugs people and agree the boards would be easier to navigate if there were less repetition.
But, restricting people's ability to post a thread based their thread count seems harsh... some of us have been here a good while and just don't post every 30 seconds... maybe restrictions could be based on the member's start date or something?
Hopefully, you won't have to make this kind of decision. I think there is also a learning curve here and people eventually catch on and review the threads before posting a new one... isn't this something that you all experience with every new season and eventually it calms down? Plus, I've seen nothing but apologies on the board when people do repeat post... they are learning.
just two cents...
