Re: [Audyssey] Moderator Important Message for the List
Hi Tom. I agree on the topic structure being good in forums, though in fairness deleting messages in a thread I'm not interested in on a mailing list isn't too much trouble either. Just as an informational point however, when looking on the index, the general new link at the top will indeed give you all new topics on the forum, however next to each forum room there is a link labled new posts that will give you just the new posts in that room. this is as I said why i am a fan of the Punbb system, since it doesn't have a load of random pointless links to navigate all over the place the way some forums I've seen do, much less when reading posts, and the links it does have are actually usefull ones.

Hi, On the other hand, if the forum is set up correctly, you can subscribe to threads with your email address. In which case new posts to the thread will be delivered to your mailbox much like an email list. However, there is still something about an email list that lends itself to what we're doing.

Yes, audiogames.net also has that feature, though bare in mind it doesn't actually send posts to your inbox, just a mail with a link to view the new reply on the forum, which is actually why i don't use that feature myself since I just find it quicker and easier to log in and check manually.

Re: [Audyssey] Moderator Important Message for the List
Hi tom. well in fairness all you need to actually do to get the new posts on a forum is click the new posts link. Some forums I admit can be a pest to navigate, but punbb, and especially the customized version of punbb that audiogames.net uses tends to be fine. while I agree mailing list delivery is convenient, for me it also has a drawback. i'll hapily sign up to many forums even if temporarily, or even if i just want to ask a question. if I start playing a game, i'll sign up to the forum just to ask about that specific game, indeed I might well sign up to the storm8 forumswhile I test the games. Same goes for forums for other things, for instance I signed up to a doctor who forum when i was writing Dr. who episode reviews. Even if I don't post much, it doesn't matter, and there is no practical limit on how many forums I sign up for. Mailing lists on the other hand I am very careful about, and other than signing up for news letters or the like. won't join discussion lists, since I don't want that volume of mail through my inbox, I have more than enough already. so there are pros and cons to both systems really and i can quite understand why people prefer one or the other. all the best, dark. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Moderator Important Message for the List
Hi Dark, I for one agree with you. If people want to have a forum for off topic messages why not use the Audiogames.net forum. It already has an off topic room for this purpose. Once again, it begs the question, why reinvent the wheel? Besides that not everyone, myself included, necessarily wants to read a bunch of off topic posts. Any more when I read the Audiogames.net forum I go directly to the room or rooms such as General so I don't have to read all the off topic posts about weather or not braille is necessary any more, or if someone can help someone else install Windows 8, etc. I realize those topics are important to someone, otherwise they wouldn't exist, but I don't have the time to read every off topic post that gets posted to the forum. Sometimes I do read and respond to those threads, but only if I am board and have nothing else to do at that moment. Otherwise I go for just the rundown on what's new or read about a game I am interested in and skip the rest. Cheers!

Hi, Tom: Don't think that you're sounding like a hard case. What you're basically asking us to do is to follow the guidelines with explanations as to why.

So please read this message and consider it as your final warning on these issues. Inflammatory Comments As per the guidelines list members are to treat other list members with a certain degree of respect, and that can go for games and other products as well. Using terms such as retarded, stupid, crap, etc are just negative and do not offer any sort of constructive criticism how the person might improve his or her post, game, or whatever the inflammatory comment is aimed at.. While I support freedom of speech when and where possible the inflammatory comments and put downs stop here. Anyone caught putting another person or product down in such a manner will be put on 30 days moderation no questions asked. Proper Spelling While I'm sure we all prefer reading posts where the person has done his or her best to proofread the contents, spell words correctly, and use proper punctuation I am none-the-less aware that we are not all perfect and make mistakes. Moreover I am also aware that many people who may be on this list may have additional disabilities besides being visually impaired. Dyslexia, for example, has been known to effect the person's ability to properly spell words. Since we do not know each and everyone of you personally, have no way of knowing if there is any mental impairments involved, it is difficult for us to impose a rule to use proper spelling, grammar, and punctuation on the list. That said, I think there is a solution to the problem. If you or anyone else has a problem with a certain list members spelling, punctuation, or grammar we can attempt to mediate it off list. Rather than bringing the subject up on list, disrupting the flow of a topic, you should e-mail the moderators at gamers-ow...@audyssey.org and we can attempt to mediate the situation, and see if there is a real medical reason for the persons poor spelling, grammar, etc or it is simply a case of a person being a lazy poster. In either case I don't want it to become a witch hunt, or continue to be a source of contention on list. Subject Lines As with many mailing lists it is always a good idea to rename the subject of the post when the topic changes. There are two important reasons for this. First, if someone is going through an inbox full of messages, and if they are like me, they delete everything that they don't intend to read or respond to. So if you ask about Castaways in a message with the subject of Swamp chances are that a good number of people who could have helped with your question deleted the post unread because the message was titled incorrectly. Second, is this list archives all of the messages, and if messages are archived under the wrong subject line it makes it difficult to later locate the answer to a question when it is stored in a thread unrelated to the topic being searched for. So if you intend to change the topic of a thread change the subject line as well. It will make life easier for everyone all around. Message Length While I have never considered this a serious disciplinary problem it still remains to be a common problem with list members. When we created this list we gave it a cap of a 10 KB limit per message which is about three pages of text. Just enough for one message plus a response in most cases. There were two reasons for this 10 KB limit. At the time we created this list there were still plenty of people who have to pay for the amount of bandwidth they use per month. The more e-mail they download the more they have to pay. This is still the case in some places, and we of course want to keep the relative cost of being a list subscriber down for those people who have to pay for the amount of bandwidth they use per month by filtering out any unnecessary junk such as having 50 KB messages with multiple copies of messages going all the way back to the beginning of the thread which is ridiculous. More importantly the list owner, yours truly, is now responsible for paying for the amount of bandwidth used by the list, sending and receiving messages, and I see no need to use more bandwidth than absolutely necessary. I have purchased an 8 GB cap, which should be plenty
Re: [Audyssey] Moderator Important Message for the List
so do I. on that note is there a way you can automatic split messages, I know what you mean a reply to a reply to a reply. Ok if its all one topic fine, but maybe if you only allow up to the message length and then after that you somehow trim the message though there is probably issues with that to. Sometimes I get replies and it ends up with the message you origionaly wanted being lost at the end of the message somewhere.

Re: [Audyssey] Moderator Important Message for the List
I think the list and such will change once we have a forum like audiogames.net does of a sort. there are rooms for general, new stuff, news and offtopic stuff and while I used to hate forums with a passion they kind of grew on me and well I like both obviously email is my first choice to look at but the forums I view once a day also so. At 11:56 AM 3/19/2013, you wrote: Hi Charles, Yes, that's it in a nutshell. I gave detailed explanations why certain guidelines are in place because I don't think people always realize why a certain rule or guideline is there in the first place, and why we would prefer people follow them. Take the issue of trimming messages as an example. I have gotten a few messages over the last few years to the effect what is the big deal, other moderators aren't this picky, list x has no message length, etc and what few of them think about is the fact those lists are probably on Yahoo or Google and the owner of the list isn't paying for bandwidth and storage space so can afford to have 20 KB, 50 KB, or 100 KB messages. Its no skin off his rear since Yahoo or Google is covering the costs to have that much space and bandwidth wasted. When you are the soul admin of a list and there are actual admin costs associated with its operation it makes sense to set some very basic limits to keep the costs down. By telling people why a certain guideline like that exists makes people more willing to follow it than just say this or that is the rules and give no explanation for it. In my experience as a parent and a list moderator people are much more willing to listen to the rules, the guidelines, when there is a clear reason why that rule or guideline exists. When people are unable to see a clear reason for a rule they are more often as not likely willing to ignore it., and then we have problems since someone is out of line.

Re: [Audyssey] Moderator Important Message for the List
HI, Thanks for the clarifications Thom. One other thing that list members can do is to send messsages as plain text. For the most part plain text is sufficient. Sending as plain text decreases the size of each message by a lot. Of course it is better to send links and such as html. HTH. Shermanator - Original Message - From: Thomas Ward thomasward1...@gmail.com Sent: Monday, March 18, 2013 7:27 PM Hi Shaun, No, there is no way to automatically split or trim a message to the write length that I am aware of. To trim a message I just scroll down a few lines, to the end of the post I am replying to, and do a shift-control-end to select everything to the end of the message, and press delete. For example, since I am only responding to you I went down a few lines to the beginning of Charles's post, and selected everything to the end of the message and then deleted it. Now, all we have is roughly a page or so of text containing your message and my reply to it. If everyone did that most messages would probably be 5 KB or so at most, because there would not be these huge messages containing reply after reply in them.
