Ken While agreeing in principle with the "1 show every 2 weeks" limit perhaps the term "under normal circumstances" needs to be addressed.
Obviously when shows are in short supply that would be one such scenario, but when does that become recognised as an issue? Four weeks out, as now, it's probably not a problem but if the schedule were a void beyond next week, say, would it be deemed reasonable for a host to schedule 2 shows in a week to help fill the gaps? Also, if there were a gap of a few days with no shows, but with others scheduled for later dates would you or Dave consider pulling some shows forwards to close the gaps?

Can you please provide your feedback on the following changes. A. Tags. The modification of tags is an ongoing process and are often modified to improve navigation. Host name/handle, series name should not be included in tags. B. Clarification of the two week scheduling guideline Remove: "5. If you are uploading a series of shows, consider scheduling one every two weeks." Add: "5. Under normal circumstances any host should only schedule one show every two weeks." With regard to A. Tags: are intended to make the site more navigable. They often contain duplicates, misspellings, or can be clustered into full blown series. The series and host names have their own navigation mechanism that tie into the host and the series pages. With regard to B. 2 Week Scheduling: This helps with keeping the queue stable, as it spreads out the free slots. This would not apply to special reservations, or guideline 2 "Always try and fill any free slots that are available in the upcoming two weeks." At the time of writing there are four weeks with no free slots, yet the four weeks after that are almost empty. -- Regards, Ken Fallon (PA7KEN,G5KEN) https://kenfallon.com<https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fkenfallon.com%2F&data=05%7C01%7C%7Cb687903b0aa94931948d08da2b5f5029%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637869985610839642%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=AWmh%2Br0sjpB9zwsU3zqPt3oF0%2FhE9zOGYuw766olKBE%3D&reserved=0> https://hackerpublicradio.org/hosts/ken_fallon<https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fhackerpublicradio.org%2Fhosts%2Fken_fallon&data=05%7C01%7C%7Cb687903b0aa94931948d08da2b5f5029%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637869985610839642%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=RAy8RSDXcPAyEGwisr1jOhS8Cw4f7FynwoT1azg0nWg%3D&reserved=0>
