Post limit?

[Mao]

I fail to see how it's 'active discussion' when enwiabe has already closed the topic with a final decision.

You're just flogging a dead horse by saying the exact same thing albeit in 3 paragraphs.

Also if you read my post above I did quite clearly state that members help others because they want to :S

Secondly, there absolutely will never be a post limit to accessing resources. Period.

Just because enwiabe has spoken doesn't mean end of discussion

And I posted because I oppose the very philosophy and spirit of having a post limit, which you are advocating. I don't think I was repeating prior arguments (otherwise I wouldn't have posted), but you may interpret it as such because it was another argument against your suggestion.

Pretty sure he didn't close this thread, he just stated that it won't be happening. People can still discuss the theory behind it or debate its validity

'close the topic' was figurative for end of discussion (ie period.)

Go ahead and discuss lol - I'm not shifting - to get you must give.

To get and not give is just pure selfishness IMO especially considering the limit would be so low (20 posts).

It's not really that hard to answer 10 questions/ask 10 questions.

Also, I'll just add that some people must seriously have no life if they're prepared to discuss such a minute matter to such an extent. Huge essay posts aren't gonna revolutionise anything.

The 'philosophy'? The 'spirit'? It's only a flippin' forum!

Basically what I was trying to say is that we shouldn't be taking these kinds of things so.. seriously? By that, I mean we shouldn't be writing massive 3-paragraph posts or arguing and arguing for ages on matters that aren't all that significant.

That was about it really - just people taking this place so seriously is getting on my nerves.

I think what people are passionate about is more the principle of the matter, and how it effects people rather than the surface layer of the issue.

If it helps the student, why does it matter? If it has made a contribution to their studies, then I have achieved my goal. Whether they repay me/VN or not is a test of their character, but them receiving the resources is not conditional on that.

You shouldn't lock a topic like this (really there aren't many times you need to lock a topic).

I agree entirely with Mao: the life force of this forum is in the people who freely help whether it be time or notes. It is freely given, it should be freely received.

But this is NOT something which is to be 'earnt' (how is posting supposed to earn you the right anyway?). The philosophy of this site is to give. So let them take, and if they want to stay they will.

Oh, and we saw how well the 'give then get' system worked recently, no? The entire program collapsed.

I find this amusing, all things considered

Have to agree with you, that was a dismal failure.
