Create a new core rule titled “Extensions” with the following text:
Any farmer may create an extension post by posting an entry in the “extension” catagory. The entry must contain exactly one hyperlink, which points to the url of a different blognomic entry, hereinafter referred to as the linked post. The farmer should also comment on the linked post, stating that an extension post has been created and linking back to the extension post.
Any comments to an extension post are considered to be comments of its linked post. The comments are considered to have been created in the linked post at exactly the same time as they were created in the extension post.
I’ve noticed that some blog posts get too close to their maximum comment limit so here’s a potential solution.
Like Yoda, I don’t think we need to add a whole core rule for something that doesn’t occur more often than once per 10 dynasties.
, although I suspect that it can be cut down and rolled into the rule on voting.
Yoda:
I’m not sure if we can add another category into the Expression Engine. I tried, but even as an Admin, I can’t access the Edit Categories function.
Technicalities aside, I don’t think this is necessary because the comments (even if not displayed) are still there and are viewable by Admins. I think we handled it quite well this time by having a separate post for the discussion when we saw we were running out of room, and I don’t think we need an extra mechanic for something that happens once in a blue moon.
So,
for now.
