Please read the rules.
You are making way too many new threads. The limit is five threads a day per board, and you've made seven already. Please do not make any more threads on this board today, and limit yourself to five threads a day in the future.
Also, typing in all caps is considered shouting on the internet, and it's annoying to read as well, so please don't do it.

Oh lighten up, everyone
jmb already stopped posting more threads so there's really no need to dwell and complain.

What?
For all we know, the OP stopped because he/she ran out of time and went to work, church, bed, dinner or whatever would be logical in their timezone - NOT because of the requests for him/her to stop. Until he/she posts an apology and a sincere promise not to spam the board again, there's absolutely no reason to assume that he/she is going to stop.
Please don't go around telling people to "lighten up" or whatever. You're a relative newcomer to this site. No one here is doing anything wrong or unacceptable . . . except the original poster.

Really? I've noticed that people get, erm, agitated when rule-breakers make apology posts. Doesn't it just waste more unnecessary board space?

Uh, I didn't say "start a separate thread and give a flowery over-the-top declaration that they will never break the rules again until their dying day", which is what usually gets people annoyed. I've never seen anyone object to a corrected OP simply replying to the correction and saying "sorry, my bad, I didn't read the rules, I won't do it again".
Oh, sorry. I understand what you meant now.
No probs :-)
So just because I'm a "relative newcomer to this site" means I'm not allowed to speak up when I feel like someone is being ganged up on when they aren't even posting anymore?
I really don't think the OP was "out of line" or being "unacceptable". If you look at jmb's profile they are clearly new and didn't know the "rules", however, I think that one post would be enough to send them the message.

Being a relative newcomer means that you have not experienced some of the worst pest-posters we've had on this site. The posters who have been here longer know and are used to the established ways of dealing with these people.
Lots of people posting their objections is NOT 'ganging up'. It is a display of community disapproval and support for the person who originally objected. Objections are most effective when the pest poster understands that they are being told off by the whole group, not simply attacked by one person.
By siding with this pest poster (as you're doing), you encourage him/her to think that her behaviour is acceptable. That will encourage him/her to defy the majority and do it again. A unanimous front reduces that possibility.
Jmb has been posting here since September, which is plenty of time to explore the site and find the rules (which are not hidden - the link is right there). He/she was most definitely out of line and being unacceptable - the absolute limit is 5 threads, and even that is considered a bit impolite and board-hogging. He/she started eight new threads today, which is an unacceptable breach of the rules.
I used to be a mod on this board when I had more spare time, so I DO know what I'm talking about. Thanks.

I'm not "siding" with the OP. I just think it's totally redundant that this is a post about names and less than 1/4 of the replies are related to the topic. The vast majority is people complaining about jmb. We get it. You're annoyed. Point made.
"I just think it's totally redundant that this is a post about names and less than 1/4 of the replies are related to the topic"
There shouldn't be any replies to this topic except objections. Posts that are in breach of the rules - on the wrong board, or over the poster's limits - are supposed to be shunned. Longer-term posters know that, too.

Fine. Then let's stop responding to this bastard thread and start shunning.
It's just so she knows the rules for the future.
Everyone else learned one way or another and follows them. It's only fair that jmb should learn and follow them as well. No big.

Plus, Isn't this a game? Wouldn't it be better on the games board?
Game?
I don't really know or care what it is but I do know that it is taking up plenty of space and I don't like that.

Yep, it's a game, and yes, the OP is totally out out of line.
Also, it could have been consolidated into one post.
Yes, I mentioned that to her on the first post, but she just kept posting.
Whoops, didn't see that you'd already mentioned it. Sorry!
I can't make a sibset of 8 as I really didn't like that many at all. I do like these though:

LUCIA
LYDIA
