If the OP has someone specific in mind, could they start a Pit thread or link to the one they mentioned? It’s hard to judge this without context. ---

> [@jerez](#): > > Some Dopers post 15 or more times a day, averaging 10 or more a day and often with negligible contribution/participation, IMO. > > What say all of you? Well, since you asked, I have to say I think that you taking the time and effort to sand through this entire site to count up people’s posts is more unsettling to me than someone who happens to post 15 times in the course of a day. If you are looking for “obsessive”, you might try looking closer to home. I’m here at work for 8 1/2 hours a day. Fifteen posts is TWO POSTS PER HOUR. That is obsessive and disturbing? Really?! WHY?! ---

My posts-per-day is 4.32, but that’s spread over 18 years and several suspensions and “vacations” from the board. I don’t know how to tune the search for a shorter time slice. And looking up the PPDs for multiple members seems a little stalky. ---

> [@](#): > > Sunny Daze > If the OP has someone specific in mind, could they start a Pit thread or link to the one they mentioned? It’s hard to judge this without context I’d rather not because, as I said in the OP: unsurprisingly, it quickly degenerates into picking on a particular poster. Maybe we can just talk about stats, without singling anyone out. > [@](#): > > Jasmine: > Well, since you asked, I have to say I think that you taking the time and effort to sand through this entire site to count up people’s posts I looked at one person’s total on the day I posted and the total on the preceding day in order to, you know, avoid jumping to conclusions. > [@](#): > > dropzone > And looking up the PPDs for multiple members seems a little stalky.
