For example today i was looking through Semi section and theirs this guy with like 10 posts in a row, now don't you think that would be too much? obviously this is just an opinion but it seems to be bothering.

I wouldn't consider a lot of those to be Semi-OG; and that's part of the problem. People posting really crappy accounts and insisting that they're semi.
However, I don't believe that the solution to this is users' posts being limited.
An account is an account, it doesn't matter who makes the thread.
Would it be less bothersome to you if we didn't show the poster's name and icon next to their thread? So you just saw the title?
The above is a rhetorical question to make my point.

If you have good accounts to sell, that are actual semi's or OG's, I think you should be able to post a thread for each account, as people would be up to purchase them and it wouldn't be a waste of space on the forums and just being a total eye-sore. In general with accounts, if you have something good to post, post it. Otherwise, the threads already tend to get removed.


On the other hand, as said above, getting monitors for each account would prove useful, however would be extremely impractical due to the fact that either an approval system for each thread would have to be put in place, like scam reports/resources, or 24/7 approval staff would have to be put in place.

What I think the most effective method to counter such a disproportional amount of threads, if this were to become a regular problem, is not to limit the amount of threads one can make, but the amount of bumps you can do in a section every 24. That way, you can still advertise each thread of your choosing in chat and elsewhere, but you can't take up the entire first page of a section all the time.
However, what the number for this would be is not something I can accurately estimate. And then there's thing of this not being quite a regular problem now. It's mostly incidental, and implementing such a huge restriction for something that happens once in a while at most is not needed.

Doge is responsible for weeding out OGs that aren’t OGs and I’d imagine he also does the same for semis. If an account is obviously not semi-OG the thread should be (and I think is) removed by him. The problem in my opinion isn’t that too many accounts are being posted, but the accounts shouldn’t be considered to be semi-OG in the first place. If the accounts Bowser was selling were all worth $200+ I don’t think anyone would still have the problem with him spamming the posts.

Doge can you confirm this?

That’s right, I remove semi/OG threads if they aren’t semi/OG or are too low quality to be considered semi/OG (i.e. random obscure dictionary word on recently migrated account)

A lot of people try to use other low quality threads being up as an excuse but if any threads are currently up which shouldn’t be, it’s because I haven’t noticed and removed them yet. Easiest way to get it removed is to report it in case I haven’t seen it myself already.

Doge Mick Cheers for clearing this up, i rarely see accounts that standout in Semi-OG because all the decent semis are put into the OG Section, maybe that could be changed too? a Semi's a Semi.
