Despite saying it several times, I can't seem to get this through to some people. As long as what people are posting is within the rules, they can post as much as they like. Nobody, including myself and @DC, have the right to tell anyone they post "too much" just because people like yourself and @The Blackangel feel inconvenienced by the forum being busier.
I know why people like yourself and @The Blackangel are complaining about this better than anyone. It's not like I enjoy going through page after page of recent activity looking for suspicious posts. I do that because I have to and do it without complaint because it's a good thing for the forum to be busier, to have more traffic. Yes, I'm ready to believe some people post more spuriously to earn more points, but the system is set up to reward people for being active and we're not about to change it just because a minority of our members feel inconvenienced by the forum being busy.
The other problem with members complaining about this is that other people need not be burdened to the same extent as I am. Again, I've said this several times, but once again people can follow topics and even individual members to keep track of new content that interests you. If anyone does choose to "scan" the forum for new posts the same why I have to using the recent activity tab, the burden of doing so is also a choice of your own and there's nothing that I nor @DC can do to help you.
To make this crystal clear. VGR staff will NOT order nor encourage people to post more or less often for any reason, least of all for other people's convenience, not even our own. What I will do is propose ideas to @DC to help make the forum easier to navigate now that is a bit busier than it used to be. For example, I think one simple thing that could help would be to increase the amount of topics that show per-page so one wouldn't have to go through as many pages of topics in order to get caught up. If anyone has other ideas, let's hear them, but we are not going to encourage people to post less.
