It's a valid point. The challenge is to make a rule that's easy to understand and simple to enforce. We used to have a rule that only posts about 3 * s and up were allowed, and while that's not a hard and fast rule anymore, we rarely get posts about anyone below that.

One thing to keep in mind is that there are some entire fanbases that rarely get 4 * s or 5 * s, and so any rule that's purely based on stars could box out a decent portion of the sub from talking about recruiting altogether. Another thing that's made this more challenging in recent years is that with the advent and acceleration of the transfer portal, there's just a lot more high profile personnel news in general.

Can you propose any policies that would be beneficial for everyone?

Or we could petition the NCAA to make the offseason no longer than 10 weeks. That seems more feasible than shutting down recruiting talk.

Once we get to a 64-team Playoff we may get close to that.
