Some answers to recent questions. (Thread Count, posts per day, thread limits, SQL errors and more!) SQL Errors: Ben just took the org down and repaired a significant portion of the SQL tables, hopefully, that should speed up things and keep errors from popping up. More work may be needed so, please keep us up with error reports.
This is untoward! This is not toward! |

Well, I don't know what MY limit is, but it's obviously too large. Save me from myself, org!!!!

"They're not overly large"? Come on, of course they are - nobody has reached their posting limit in a hundred years and by every normal standard some should have, including myself on silly occasions. As for threads, there are people who've created about 10 on one day (most of them were deleted cause they were flooding or nonsense) and surely that's too much? And why can't you be specific? Wouldn't it be much better if people knew what they're dealing with so as to know what they can/want to waste posts and/or threads on?

It's getting all the more cryptic I guess... For a good reason though, I'm sure!

And what is an SQL error? Are those of us on Macs immune to them? mine is not immune to large big pink blocks telling me error: restricted this or that When I was 16, I fully expected to be able to build my own KITT car.

Please don't post guesses or post if you think you know. They'll be snipped. That info is privileged for a reason.
Translation: we're making shit up as we go along. I seriously doubt there are limits. Otherwise some n00bs wouldn't be able to create dozens of threads, and post multiple times in them, until some admin comes along and breaks up the party. © Bart Van Hemelen

No, there are limits, they're just pretty big. If the mods want me to dial them down (and they've expressed the opinion that in certain cases, they should be -- but those cases are a little more dynamic that what the limits currently are set up for), they will be. But before I invest a bunch of time into coding more complex limits, we want to make sure we get it closer to really 'right' and not just what's reactive. It's a delicate balancing act to limit bad behavior and not annoy legitimate posters. ben -- "the prince.org guy" |
