Why is it suddenly ok to make multiple threads on the same subject over and over again?

I'm talking about the Feminism board. Please could MN explain why it's ok for the same poster to keep starting new threads on the same topic repeatedly without the previous ones filling up or reaching any limit?

Surely there's a point where this is considered "not in the spirit" as you love to say. By all means this person should be allowed to post but why are repeated threads within hours of each other being allowed to cause Groundhog Day over there?

Yes please @MNHQ. I love the FWR board it's definitely the best bit of the site and though I mainly lurk I really enjoy the wit and wisdom of the contributors. The last couple of days have been grim. Goady posts, can't really have a discussion, just unpleasant. If FWR has gone to the invaders could we have another board? Flower arranging for beginners perhaps, or home baking, or maybe tidying tips where we could sneakily discuss FWR in constructive and pleasant solidarity

@MNHQ I'd like to know the answer to this too. Please can you manage this issue before it gets out of hand. Alternatively if it is now ok to post multiple threads on the same topic, please let us know. There are lots of us who would be delighted to join in. Many thanks.

@CannotOperateOnThisFailure

Those threads are not in the spirit, at all. They seem to exist solely to provide the OP and their mates with screenshot to share on twitter. Every point and question has been answered elsewhere on FWR.
The Twitter screenshot thing has been denied as sarcasm which MN have been quite strict on now, I would be careful what you say. I dont intend this to be a pile on of a particular poster but I do wish to clarify the rules regarding repeated spamming

I was going to say exactly what Cannot said. It's spamming surely?

Before you go handing out strikes, I'm referring to the act of spamming a board with similar topics instead of keeping them neatly in the same thread. Not getting into discussions about the rights and wrongs of the subject matter at hand. This seems to come under 'site stuff' as it's about keeping the place tidy and organised.
