Indivine - Regulate posts per blogger?

Gyanban, you raise an interesting point. The practice of "flooding" Indivine with multiple posts also does not benefit the poster. It risks alienating readers and is more likely to lead to less votes per post. Recently I came across a series of posts published near enough simultaneously by the same author. I liked one post and gave it a vote. However, I did not feel inclined to vote for any of the others (even if I liked them) as I felt I had already voted for the blogger.

Totally agreed,indivine is not a place to dump all your blogposts in one go,it was created to share great content among the blogging fraternity,so there must be a limit on the number of posts by a user on some parameter.

KC you are right that frequency does not correlate to quality. Quality is very much subjective in any event. What we are discussing is the fine tuning of a platform to give all bloggers a fair crack. Posting frequency is something that can easily be adjusted, even if that does not apply to quality.

On your last point, the prolific blogger has a brilliant opportunity to showcase all their posts - on their own blog! So if they put a sample of their quality work on Indivine, people like me will click on their blog for more as well as posting comments. That's less likely to happen if they bombard Indivine with all their content.

I wrote a mail to Renie for implementing this long back... Looks like he is not intended in doing that.

I am not sure  if the definition of Indivine is the same for all people - 

Well if there is assumption both ways then separate the platforms.

Why not have one forum for bulk bloggers and one for single post bloggers or less frequent bloggers. That way no one misses out and everyone gets to have his say...

What do you guys think?

I think the best way to get a fix for this is by abusing the system until the admins wake up.

I agree with this suggestion. People should be allowed one post per day. Even one every 48 hours would be good. That would ensure quality stuff to be displayed. 

Why not take a poll ? 

1. Option  = let it be as it is..
2. Option  =  separate tabs for bulk bloggers.
3. Option =  regulate post flow.

my vote for option # 3

The moderators might have allowed multiple posts now, since Indivine is in the initial stages, it needs to have more posts. If restrictions are in place now itself, it might lead to very few number of indivine entries. This restriction might be imposed once Indivine contains a good number of posts.

Neverthless Indivine is a very good feature in Indiblogger.

Though a small sample crowd here, it seems option 3 is best.

I would be happy with 3

Option 3. Definitely.

Another weekend..yet another flurry of posts by a single author...sigh.

Renie - this really needs to be looked into mate. Indivine is flooded again.

It just defeats the purpose.When will the Indiblogger team moderate this kind of a behavior?

I am sorry to say this is very irritating. 

I agree with KC. I write everyday and post on indivine. No one wants to write anything of inferior quality just to get numbers. However, I support any measure for improvement of this great fetaure of indiblogger. I really hope that regulating post flow will help all bloggers.

I think the point is to post your best post - not your every single post.

Yes one can argue that every single post is your best post...in which case we need to have a separate forum for everyday bloggers.

But for most people,who cannot afford to find that time to post every hour or every day, they need to have a separate forum.

Simple...everyone is happy then.

Posting to IndiVine restricted to 2 posts per 24 hours. Muchas Gracias for all the feedback and suggestions. Please test and let us know if you see any issues!

Great work Gyan, you've brought up an important point and now we have some solutions too. Kudos!

My heart reaches out all the people who have been affected by new traffic rules. I think it is most unfortunate such a loss of creative outflow being restricted by "samaj ke thekedaars"...

Not a single person has come out in open to fight for the oppressed. I suggest that the affected people should create at least different Accounts and Submit 10 articles under different Avatars. God bless the democracy on Internet

Thank You, Renie for your prompt action! Highly appreciated!

Also, at the same time, what about those quality posts that are still languishing under those heaps of archives? A lot of effort must have gone into that, and it is unfair that they have got eclipsed by other IndiVine entries.

I have a suggestion - why don't we randomly highlight 5 posts from the archives for 24 hours. These posts can be replaced every 24 hours, thus giving variety to bloggers and readers alike. This tab can set up on the top, so that people take notice and olden and golden pearls of writing get some exposure. I think I had mentioned about this suggestion in one of our earlier discussions, Renie.

What do you think, IndiBloggers about this idea? Why not highlight some archival gold?
