It's in the "please read" guidelines. I think there are supposed to be new rules in the works though, so maybe it'll be in there.

I think when someone has started 10 threads in 24 hours across various boards, it really is something that needs handling, because not only do they not get help, it hinders others getting help. It's not about the number of threads so to speak because you might be creating 2 or 3 in a short space of time on different issues, and that's okay.

I generally just stop replying to rant threads; if they descend into suicide threats, then they're reportable, but otherwise they just unhelpful.

I tried (gently) pointing out to a member yesterday they would get more help from having one thread, and more/better advice, and they got really angry, so I'm reluctant to do that again...

	It doesn't matter where you come from; it matters where you go. No-one gets remembered for the things they didn't do. We won't all be here this time next year, so while you can take a picture of us. We're definitely going to hell, but we'll have all the best stories to tell.
