I received a very constructive criticism about some off topic posts. I and the list owners are very pleased how it was presented. Instead of posting the recommendation to the list a private message was sent. That is the appropriate way to submit suggestions or complaints. At the bottom of each post there is a link, [EMAIL PROTECTED] that will contact all members of the moderating team. Please use that link as opposed to posting complaints or suggestions directly to the list.
Here is a copy of the actual text from the member: "Why don't you try to explain to members that their comments are off topic when they keep posting stupid or one and two word answers to a bad subject. Do your job and kick them off or moderate their posts. Please! It makes for a bad list to let it continue." We are taking the member's suggestion under advisement. Before taking any drastic measures I respectfully request that the list membership considers this point. It becomes a lot of unnecessary work placing a member in moderated status. Also by subsequent posts from a moderator stating that the previous post is off topic only adds to the clutter on the list. We on the moderating team are in agreement that the member has a very valid list observation so please try and remember that the one or two word responses only tend to fill member's in-boxes. Thank you for your consideration and cooperation, by following this guideline it will significantly improve the list quality. Moderator
