Another forum's policy on posting traffic may offer an amusingly interesting
parallel: (01)
Their policy: (02)
A basically unmoderated high-traffic forum for disclosure of information.
Fresh research sometimes hit this list many hours before it passes through
the more controlled moderation queues. The relaxed atmosphere of this quirky
list provides some comic relief and certain industry gossip. Unfortunately
80% of the posts are worthless drivel, so finding the gems takes patience. (03)

Subject: Re: [ontolog-forum] Tighter control of ontolog forum? - a solution? (05)
The best way to limit the noise on this list is for people to exercise
some self restraint. (06)
I try to limit my contributions to one note per day, and I try to group
my responses to multiple people in a single note. Unfortunately, I
sometimes go over the limit, especially in the middle of a hot debate. (07)
Recommendation: I suggest that ontolog forum should have an automatic
cutoff that would prevent *everyone* except Peter Yim from submitting
more than one note per day. If anyone hit the "reply button" for a
second note during the same 24-hour period, the email handler would
send the note *only* to the original sender or anybody on the explicit
cc list. (In case of emergency, it would be possible to ask Peter to
post a second note to the whole forum.) (08)
I believe that this solution would reduce the noise very significantly. (09)
