Ulrich,
I've had a similar idea about a posting limit. At the beginning of the year, each poster has X number of posts, with the quantity assigned by the moderators based on merit. New posters would likely receive fewer, and architects more. People would be free to post as often as they wanted until they ran out. After that, they could either beg the moderators for more posts or wait until the next year. I doubt such an idea would be practical in implementation, but it's fun to think about.
I like your alternative of all being considerate and wise.
Ran & Ben,
Thanks for keeping the site ad-free and fun. The course reviews add a lot to my enjoyment of the site and the game. Without GCA, I would have probably played far fewer interesting courses, and that comment has to do with knowledge - not access.
I don't see any reason to cap discussions at an arbitrary number of pages. Sometimes those long arguments keep people out of trouble elsewhere.
