Re: [Audyssey] A suggestion for subject lines
Hi Tom. Yep, even on forums you need to be careful about how strict rules about things like offtopic discussion are, sinse nazi moderators who jump down members throat for not adhereing to some vague pattern of discussion do not create nice forums, and naturally humans and discussion are farely flexible matters, plus people forget the rules (really even on audiogames.net it is hard enough to get people to post in the right part of the forum). So, I agree with this being a suggestion rather than a rule. Personaly, I'll try and put the subject at the top of messages.

Re: [Audyssey] A suggestion for subject lines
Hi Keith, I'm not apposed to the idea if people want to do it. I do see how it might be helpful to state in the subject weather a certain game is for Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android, etc. Although, I feel a bit hesitant to make it a requirement since getting people to follow the existing rules is hard enough as it is. Still, I'll wait and see what others think as it is a good suggestion. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] A suggestion for subject lines
Hi Keith, This is an excellent idea. I am a Mac user, and when Angel Gift was released, I downloaded the file, thinking that Mac users could also play this game, as it was indicated at the time that everybody should try and have a go at this title. I didn’t run the file, but just deleted it when I realised that the game was only for Windows. Anyway, yes, I 2nd your suggestion.

Re: [Audyssey] A suggestion for subject lines
If I am going to mention a new game for iDevices, I always indicate it in the subject line. You can skip it if you wish. Thanks for showing an interest in accuracy in the subject line. I sure wish more people did. --- Be positive!
