I’ve seen recently, since the restrictions on the amount of submissions that a user can make were lifted, that some users people have been throwing half a dozen or more posts on their page some days, which surely defeats the purpose of ES. I don’t see a point in people having something to say, spending time writing and then not giving it an opportunity to be read, because whether we like it or not people tend to only read the first piece in the list or the featured title, and certainly it is very rare for people to trail through a whole list of one users work. So having 6 submissions in a day is pretty pointless, even if you’re not bothered about comments.
I personally, was a fan of the restrictions as this is a site for people who want to improve their writing, not just throw on a load of stuff they jotted down when they were bored, the two submission rule may have encouraged people to review and edit their work. Not that I want to come across as the writer of the year as I most certainly am not, but the standard of some work is less than amazing and if no one is reading it what the hell is the point.
The writings section is quite handy for less established users or users with less time to devote to the site to get off the cuff comments from users other than their own circle of friends on ES, but it is quite short if people are are just going to throw stuff down then others who spend time on their writes are going to get less time on the page and thus less input on their writings.
Bit of a rant this I suppose and I don’t want to come across as a wingeing t@at, as I’m a very care free individual and I am certainly not having a go at anyone who may have done what I’ve mentioned, but I say bring back the restrictions.

| User | FireFly747 | 2006-10-28 | | | Subject | Need Comments | | Message | I need comments on my poem titled, " A Covenant with this Poem"
A Covenant with This Poem
Dear Lord, how do I make
a covenant with this poem
Does it want a fresh pair
of wings to master the sky
and soar through the heavens
If a poem speaks, then
let it sing in the halls
of a cathedral, and let it
sing with joy and resonance
If a poem is planted like a
seed in the field, then it
should take root growing
strong and vibrant, thus
ripe and ready for harvest
So, let these spiritual words
flow from my heart, through
gentle hand, thus holding scared
pen, scribing on to bare
sheets of paper, and I truly
vow to make a covenant with
this poem
Please, let menknow what you think? Tell a friend about FireFly747 |

| User | tZar | 2006-07-23 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | I have to second this. I just took a look at the texts that have still to be commented on. One name that stood out was ’ad libitum’ (I sort of see where he get the alias from) - in the last two days he has posted 16 texts, this is just redicules.
There is no way that we can read this many writes from the same author, and still give good comments. Also if any of us submit a write, people will not get a chance to notice before the pages have been flooded by one or two authers, who do not care about this sites purpose.
