"consistency" was the reason he cited, what prompted him to review were the recent threads started by civicmon and peteropny suggesting that OMNI was getting "annoying" and there was a large amount of "consecutive posts by a longstanding member". The issue raised seemed to mostly be the gaming/counting threads.

the problem some of us see with the "solution" is that he created a double-standard where now some posts count more than others. Meanwhile, 6969 post count club and such continue to flourish, as do threads such as this TB motion.
