agreed, the limit should be banned, lifted
"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Post limit is great imo.
Profanity ban is ****ing annoying.

I have no problem with a cap but it should not be a daily cap because I nor do most people post daily. the days I am active I can easily make 20 posts a day but I might seriously post here 2 days a week.
It should be a 72 hour or one week cap not 24 hours.

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
10 posts in 24 hours is nothing, if you want to see this forum really thrive it should be higher, even 20 is low but is more reasonable. It feels very old school and conservative. If there are any trolls just suspend/ban them.
Personally in two minds with profanity ban. Personally, as long as it is not swearing at another member of the forum and not too excessive it should be fine.

I started a thread about the 10-post rule six years ago when it was enacted: www.sosuave.net/forum/showthread.php?t=144511
And I pledge to never change my signature line until the rule is changed.

**** balls
^definitely need to unban the word "c0ck" at least
Also, yeah, lift the 10 post limit but just ban trolls and KJ's....you know, actually do some moderating. Seems like once a poster becomes a moderator they turn into a ghost. Also, it would be nice if you guys could come up with some kind of reading comprehension test or some $hit, something that would need to be passed before someone could start posting and arguing with someone simply because they don't know how to read.

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Wow, I didn't know this existed. Thanks for the info. Have you guys tried turning your computer off and then on again?

Moderating has some interesting dynamics attached to it. As a mod you of course are bound to enforce the rules, but you try to avoid heavy-handedness. For that, you get vilified for "not doing your job" by some members.Peaks&Valleys said:
Then when someone comes along who is over-the-top and won't adhere to the same rules that everyone else here adheres to, you get vilified for banning them after multiple warnings, all of which start out as respectful PMs to the person in question.
Being "dumb", being a KBJ, having reading comprehension issues aren't bannable offenses.
Like any forum, there are elements that are great and beneficial, and elements that might annoy individuals because of personal preference, and that's fair. Overall I think we have a pretty good balance here of allowing ALL men to voice their opinions and thoughts without actual censorship, and a good system for dealing with those who can't control themselves and just want to agitate.
The 10 post limit is certainly an understandable concern, but the boss has his reasons for it, and what he says goes. In practical terms there HAS to be a limit, as a spam attack can wipe a forum out. I've seen that happen to two boards I've been on. Naturally we all have our own idea of the "sweet spot" when it comes to the limit, but at the end of the day this is still a pretty great place to hang around and share ideas, IMO.
I support the 10 post daily limit and hope it stays. The 10 post limit keeps me from spending too much time here, and also cuts down on the posts to read. Cuts down endless flame wars. Why does one need to post more?
The main reason I support a 10 post limit is schmos who have nothing better to do and make 100 one-line thread-bloating posts a day. I can't stand that sh-t from other forums, and mark my words, they will do that here too without a relatively low limit. Maybe 15, that's 50% more.
Don't care one way or other on the profanity filter.

If you need to post more than 10 times a day on an internet forum you need to GET A LIFE. Furthermore, there is an inverse relationship between the quality of the posting and increasing daily post count. It becomes a bunch of one-line tripe that dilutes any meaningful content.
The profanity ban isn't going anywhere. Allowing profanity would negatively affect Google ads on the site, which generate $$. That's the answer.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
