David,
I think we have proven that we can handle the responsibility.
Anyone else have any thoughts on the matter?

I vote no. Too many pic in a single post makes it hard to keep track of things. There may also be limits in the BBS software of how big a single post can be.

That was brought in because Don was in the habit of suddenly posting about 23 cat photos...again. So we probably don't need it so much any more I guess.

ps Oh yeah I agree about the re-posting rule that is a real pest if you are in a hurry.

The rule is not aimed at members, it's aimed at the possibility of massive spam invasion - for example, flooding the board with pre-written porno spam - I've seen it happen (one of my sites was hit).

A site which has a limit on images (actually, I have increased this to four but not said anything) and on flood timing simply doesn't work for the worst spam sources so they don't bother.
