>Putting a limit on how many posts a person can make in any section is probably a bad idea.
>Perhaps he could register utchatter.com and just migrate users & the chatter section to a different site all together if it's a problem to just leave it as is. In any event I see issues with doing either - we all know how topics tend to change part way though a thread so I don't see this solving anything.

I think that it is up to everyone of us to act professional. If we do, then there wouldn't be a need to proceed with workaround tools to try to control all that. The prime service of this site is to offer a technical support engine. Yes, there is the support for non technical content. I would say it is ok. I asked in this thread if people think it is good to have that. The response was positive in favor of it. But, technical or not, the content of each message should be written in a way that it would not interfere with the good running of this site. As you are probably, I would have liked also to avoid those situations in all those years the site has been running. Yes, it has been worst elsewhere several times. But, we had some difficult issues to deal with here as well over the years. Facebook closes hundreds of accounts every day, Fan pages and things like that. The site is enormous but they have their stories as well. Wherever you allow people to exchange, you allow for the possiblity to have problems. If you go in bar, people will talk, and then some can be kicked out because something started. I even saw people getting kicked out from a beach. So, in overall, we are all responsible for the future of this site and how good we want it to be represented.
