Have you noticed that we get spammed/flooded with low quality, ubiquitously downvoted posts in batches of 5 to 10 several times a day?
 
Next time you feel that a post is particularly high quality or relevant, check the user, you'll probably see that it was their only post all day, if not multiple days or sometimes weeks.
 
Totally anecdotal but it is a reminder that a few unhinged people have basically got the forum in a soft hostage situation at all times a la Insurgent because we have no limits on post volume or rate. And those people can be anyone acting for any reason.
 
Even with an army of alts, a post limit tool would go a long way in regard to increasing the effort that a mentally ill person needs to commit to in properly destroying the place.
 
In a moment of need Elvis could simply adjust the max daily posts from say 5 or 10 daily to only 1, so that even an army of 30 alts can only flood at 30 posts/day. It could turn a full scale raid into a piddle.
 
Being able to deflect a raid by any extent without mod actions would mean that the forum would be free to ban legitimately insane or abusive people without immediately going to manual "one by one mod action" war for however long a sperg can keep it up (long).

I performed a sin and even though I felt guilty I did not confess or make good to those I wronged until I absolutely had to.
  
In the wake of this, I don't feel clean of my sin or that there is a way to become clean. I feel that what I have done in repentance doesn't "count" because I didn't initiate it on my own free will like I know should have.
  
It was a thing I promised I wouldn't do, in my mind in a prayer to God, and I broke it and on that basis I fear I will go to hell. I am religious but not a Catholic or part of a family that attends church. Should I seek church where a priest will hear my confession even as an outsider?
  
The idea of confessing in this way seems hollow considering I have confessed to my family, those I wronged, and God in prayer (had to be confronted that way). The person I most directly wronged gave me forgiveness, as well as some of those otherwise affected by it, but the promise I made to God in my head was broken and there is nothing they can do for that even if they wanted, it's a private betrayal between the Lord and I.
  
Is there anything I can do? It follows that the answer is to live well and accept my guilt for the past... but this is ALWAYS true as far as I understand. It doesn't feel right that despite having an intolerable sin weighing down on me I would pursue forgiveness from God on a basis of "Whoopsie daisy, guess Ill just go on and try better"
  
What can I actively DO?
  
I have a hard time imagining hearing a priest say I'm forgiven isn't just human comfort. I don't feel secure in taking someone's word for it. I have never related as a Catholic, I have always felt a person's relationship with God is direct. And I feel I violated that in horrifically direct way.
  
What is the best way to repent for a promise you broke to God? Any help is appreciated. If you think I will go to hell, idk how much functional good it will do me to hear it. That is why I ask for advice. I want to focus on how to move forward.
