Seems like you would want a different topic layout in that “journal” case, like a chat layout. That’s another topic entirely.

3 posts by the same person in a row should look bad. We don’t want that behavior. Making it look good is the opposite of the intended effect.

What was originally discussed is a forced merge, or even preventing people from posting more than 1 time in a row in the same topic.
