Point out an example of speed posting, or prove that you're trying to improve the thread for yourself, not for others.

They do have random place name generators.

You can try putting a name in English and then transcribing to Slavic.

Posted at 9:10 PM, about half a page later. Started this whole discussion.



The entire exchange proves my point that conversations are getting drowned out.

I can understand his problem with RP going on in the thread. He has a point there. But the rest?


Yes. See above. Also, please refer to me with "they".

1. I personally do not. 2. It is just another thread on another forum.


1. See? That's the problem.

2. Except its also a meeting hub for the community. And its hard to have legitimate conversations with the pseudo-RP (which belongs in F7), and posting at nearly the speed of light (which as I've already shown, drowns out conversations).

I see no problem with the quality of the thread.

We've already had this discussion. No point in spamming the thread with it again.


Its not spam. Its a legitimate conversation on legitimate problems that legitimately hinder the quality of this thread.

Again, others have stated they agree with me.

No. I'm just asking people to not post as fast. If we all post slower, we can all better keep up, to say nothing of the thread lasting longer.

Your nation is like a son. What it does right is your merit, as well as what it does wrong is your fault. When you praise it, be lucid and avoid exaggeration. Praising it too much can make it indolent. On the other hand, when you criticize it, be harsh, but do not ridicule it. Do your best to improve it, not through derision or disdain, but through good examples and dedication.

And that is an unreasonable request given the popularity of the thread. If you want something that posts slower, start something different.

1. I don't necessarily see how. I'd at least like people to be more mindful that when the thread moves fast, conversations easily get drowned.

2. Well, the main problems would be that I couldn't do it in NSG, but would have to do it in F7. Which wouldn't attract the same kinds of people that post here.
