MODERATOR speech (but not moderating), a message to all members:
This post was reported for naming a specific member so I removed the name of the member for TOS compliance, but since we do actually get a lot of complaints about a member repeatedly covering the page with only their fluff posts, I do want to keep the content of this post. While there are no rules about this, let's just use common sense and keep in mind that to cover the page in quick fluff posts, this "buries" everyone else's post, some of whom, like Collette said, may have taken the time to post something thoughtful that other members would like the opportunity to read. I don't know if people have heard the phrase, "Step up, step back," but this means "step up" and post if you don't usually post because we'd like to hear from you, and "step back" if you post a lot because it's nice to make room for the quieter among the bunch. Thanks, everyone, for taking the time to read this.

I'm not sure if it's ok to say this ( and I have pleaded this question privately ) but I, for one, am getting tired of posting only to see my post almost disappear before I've finished typing it.
I'm not saying my posts or anyone else's are so important or interesting but I wouldn't mind having a little time to find out.
