Full PM-box? Change here!

If you have posted three threads, and can contact a mod quick enough, can you request which should be deleted?
I mean, if as someone mentioned, your house is hit by a hurricane, and rather than ringing the insurance people, you decide to use your phone line (curiously unaffected by said hurricane) to tell the 'polytubbies about your experience, then can you request that your drunk thread be deleted instead, even though you posted it first, some time in the small hours of the morning?

People must think that Ming is really mean if he would delete one of your three threads because you posted the third from the wreckage of your home.

I'm sure the mods will be flexible, they seems to be it already. Honestly, I don't see the problem here. I'm not much in the OT, but I can't really see that making more than 2 threads should be neccessary other than in a few exceptions. And then I'm sure the mods will be helpful if it is a need. BTW, think of it: If the, say 200(perhaps more, perhaps less, I just took a number out of thin air) people who posts daily/nearly daily in the OT(it seems to be quite active) should make more than 2 threads each, or even half of them! It would be a real mess. Actually, 2 threads in itself is a bit much if all were to use their rights.

It's not the button's functionality that's the problem, but rather the fact that it sticks out further to the right than everything else on the screen.

But back on topic, I don't see the rule as a problem. Then again, I'm not nearly as active in the OT as some others are...

Let me counter that with a rule about not allowing belgians to post in the OT or A/C forum. Thus eliminating silly counter-proposals.

Once I've forgotten about that I've posted a thread last night after 00:00. And so, one of the threads, which was kind of thread I've always wanted to make, was deleted.

I suggest the limit be reduced to one thread per day, and an insulting PM be sent to everyone, filled with accusations and blame and do it all from an falsely assumed high moral position, like you're the center of the ****ing universe or something.

Business as usual on a grander scale. Think BIG!

I think we need a limited numbers of views.
Some people just keep checking their threads on and on...
And it's not fair that some threads get more attention than others. You want to check your beloved threads - check others as well!

Can't remember, I know I was at the Acropolis, the temple of Zeus and the stadium. I also remember having paid for the Ancient Agora, that's just below the way to the Acropolis, no?
