First I'd like to thank you for sharing that link, I have not seen that thread/have completely missed it. I'm rated: OK But bit to much IMG posts that needs to be deducted. Looks like he caught a period of me posting in a few threads with images? I have like 2 images in the last 100 posts (check posting history) and they aren't even 'only posts with images'. Why would they need to be deducted in that case?
I dont know. I took a quick glance at the last 5-6 pages of your posts and I didnt see anything problematic. On the other hand its not my opionion that counts in the end

Well staff is not that much higher than an user here, but I doubt that a staff member would get on the 'signature bans' watch list when that member is probably among the ones that oversee that list. Isn't that so?
I like to think (because I have no way to know how it actually is) that Staff members get checked same as members. In fact if they would have spammed in the past they probably would have never gotten staff in the first place. On the other hand beeing Staff is not necessary about posting, but more about submitting reports.
Well I'm not trying to compare just numbers, but judging from the previous limitations (what was it 2 or 3 thousand posts?) the reduction is heavy. The first signature deal that I was with was TF's Inputs.io I believe. I was doing way more than 1k posts and did not watch my posting that much (well I was still new).
Yes ~2400 (for Sr. IIRC) down to 400 is a big difference. I dont know how many people are effected though. Only a few people post that much AFAIK and those apparently are not a problem as far as the mods are concerned. But its something thats easy to do without much work.
You're definitely right about those threads, there is even a thread about someones B-Day which has passed long ago yet people keep congratulating him. Shouldn't those posts be marked and removed? I mean if the thread is from June (example, I can't find it right now) and someone posts 'congratulations' in August, he clearly has spend less than a few seconds reading the thread. These kinds of posts do annoy me a bit and I try to avoid them.
Probably best to just let them sink down and die. I just dont understand why people come here if they do not want to read.
Well judging from his username and the fact that he is new, I'd say that he is trolling. A quality posts is not judged per it's length like you said, nor is 2-3 lines sometimes enough (while in other cases a single line would do just fine).
Pretty sure its a troll. 1. is
good grammer after all
