There is no official policy on the number of threads an individual can create. Creating two or more threads with the same wording in one or more forums is considered spamming and the threads would be deleted and the poster banned. There are no restrictions on users who have only a single topic/person/focus they're interested in as long as they follow the conduct guidelines.

No one is required to read posts or threads started by any individual user. If the community has no interest in discussing Garbo, why are there 30+ replies to the thread? I'm sure not one of you would appreciate so many off-topic posters invading a discussion you wanted to start.

This thread is closed.

Michael,

No. Johnbabe's threads about Garbo would be less of a problem if there were less of johnbabe's threads about Garbo. As you can see from my post, a TCMWebAdmin told him to stop. Shouldn't that apply, even with a different webadmin?

Johnbabe threads about Garbo would be far less of a problem if those of you who know this is a problem would stop posting in the threads johnbabe creates. Capiche?

I know somewhere around here there's a super long thread on Barbara Stanwick but, its just ONE THREAD. That's the way it should be.

I guess he's upset it isn't on the front page every single day and that there are other actors who were good and worthy of discussion.

1. There's a GG thread started by princessananka....and he replied in THAT one.

2. He is obviously a troll....or at least just a troublemaker.

3. This seems to have gone far enough, IMHO. Time the admins ban him from the site.

johnbabe, why don't you say anything about why you create so many, many threads about GG even though you were told by the TCMWebAdmin not to? And here is the thread where the TCMWebAdmin said for you to stop.

Maybe you need to see this again...this is from that thread you started called, of course, "Garbo":

Garbo

Posted: Jun 17, 2010 5:47 PM


i would like to know, that as a new fan of GG, why her films are always the same on TCM and when they are shown, they are shown at 6 AM like Camille today...many of us out there are new to TCM because our cable companies did not have it on their lists (like Optimum on Long Island) they only have TCM in the last 2 years, i have had it for 5 years because i moved to Comcast area and they have TCM, some of the persons on the threads get rather touchy - i am glad that they have had the privilege of TCM for 17 years and maybe they are tired of the real classic films, but that doe not help the new audience...i happen to love TCM and i think that you are absolutely fascinating, but please keep the older classics upfront, and why is TCM ignoring Garbo's birthday on September 18th....thank you.

I replied:

johnbabe,you are not a new fan of Garbo. You have been creating many threads about her since at least 2007. I haven't done a count for the years 2007-2009, but I did do a count for 2010 and this is the 28th thread you've created just this year regarding Garbo!!! WHY -- please tell us why! -- you can't just create 1 thread on GG and add to just that one, instead of creating several new GG threads each week???


The very next post was:

Re: Garbo

Hello

This thread is now being locked. We currently have multiple threads on Greta Garbo. While we appreciate your love for Greta Garbo, we need to cut back on the amount of threads on this topic.

Thank youPete

...and you, of course, are Mr. Know-It-All-About-Garbo?

Try giving some PROOF here of what you babble on about, like an actual LIST of those presumed book titles, instead of generalizations.

Also, stop repeating yourself about GG in each of these threads ("her work for the Allies", etc.) That just becomes naggingly repetitive.

you are not up on current books, my friend, there has been much news in recent months, etc., of Garbo's work during WW2 for the Allies especially the Brits - and of her "absence" from MGM for about 8 months in 1926-27- new books are coming out all the time about Garbo - you just do not know where to find them, also, a great book on her fashion influence came out last year and there are at least 4 or 5 books out this year or coming out - so i do not think she is boring and also, friend, most of the stars on TCM are all dead too does that make them all boring??????????????????????????????????????????

I guess I am one who is willing to cut johnbabe a little slack here. Actually if he had started just one "Garbo" thread awhile back and then just kept posting on that one thread he may have generated some kind of discussion with other "Garbo" fans. At least the "Garbo" thread would have a lot of pages and would look impressive :)
