What to do about members who start too many posts?

This question has come up recently with many posts flooding the forum, often saying the same thing. Each side is accusing the other of not responding fully. How to solve this? -- Astralis Lux [Mar. 30, 2008]

Ignore them seems the only rational response I can think of. If you answer them, the forum gets cluttered. Often the person posting multiple threads is seeking attention, and responding just reinforces the behavior.

The other, more draconian approach, would be to have in forum guidelines that people should consider their capacity for actively monitoring and responding to other posts in them, and that the admin has discretion to shut down or combine what he perceives to be dead or redundant threads.
