i really dont think that its a big deal. what i can do, is i can lock threads over a certain length of time, so new members dont bring up old threads, but in some cases, that hurts the forum because things that may be helpful, like tech questions that are more rare, may be locked. if someone is contributing an opinion or anything useful, i dont considering it whoring. in my opinion, "post whores" are the ones who post a ton, with replies like "yeah" or "i agree"..and nothing else.

You will always have some people who like being post whores. We will try and control it as much as we can. Like Patrick explained, you don't want to lock old threads, because you loose the ones with good info. I usually try and ignore most of the stupid stuff anyways.

You have to consider the guys that get on here looking for answers. When someone does a search and opens up a 6 month old post on a problem, he reads through it like it was written all in the same day. It doesnt make a difference if the post was started in March and is still being posted on in August. If you lock out those posts, you still get the same problem by people recreating a post asking the exact same question that might have been answered had the original post kept going.

this is a fine point, but when the threads are in off topic, this is seldom the case. i am working on something to try to fix this.

ok then, what is your suggestion for the new rule? this isnt a monarchy, and i always want input from the members, so what do you think should be the rule about things of this nature?

2. There will be absolutely no post whoring anywhere in CBRF. [That's posting post without content, just a smiley or silly expression or digging up old post just to boost your post count.]
- Do not make a post entitled "Redline I need help" or "Hey so and so". If you need to speak with an individual PM them.
