Hi Dakotah, Like I said, under special circumstances the moderators will review your message, and if it is appropriate to be the size it is we will approve it.

Re: [Audyssey] Moderator reminder: Trimming messages
I'd like to give some advice for those who use MSOffice outlook and jaws. Messages sent in plain text format is much smaller than messages sent in html format. What I usually do if I write a message that's quite long. Step1: I save the message in my drafts folder. I hit control plus s and then hit escape to close the message. Step2: I go to my drafts folder. Step3: I highlight the message and hit alt enter. This will bring up the properties dialogue. Step4: I read the screen with the jaws cursor. So in this way I can see how many kb the message is. The message I sent to the list about the keyboard crazy game was 34 kb because the message format is set on html. So I went into the options dialogue in outlook and changed the format to plain text and the size of my post dropped from 34 to 7 kb. I hope my advice helps. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Moderator reminder: Trimming messages
It's also pretty easy to eliminate auto-sending of replies, so long as you take the time... I'm not trying to accuse anyone by the way, I just didn't know you guys even looked at messages that large or if they got moved into a, go ahead and delete, folder or something. I write most of my messages in a webmail application which gives me no idea of the size of my messages, and that's primarily why I was concerned. I hope that I didn't offend anyone by my concern.

Re: [Audyssey] Moderator reminder: Trimming messages
Hi Dakotah, No problem. No offense taken. I'm just glad we are able to clarify things for you. :D As it happens I often use the Google web-mail interface myself 90% of the time and don't bother with separate e-mail clients. Since I have several different computers running various operating systems its just easier for me to open up Firefox and read my mail than download it into Outlook, Thunderbird, Evolution, or whatever. Bottom line, I don't know how large my messages are either, but usually by trimming I am far below the 10 KB limit. Plus it helps to send messages as text only too. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] Moderator reminder: Trimming messages
I don't mind the idea, except I'm curious as to why there's a message length restriction. If someone doesn't want to read the entire message, they can either delete it then and there or move to the next name in the thread, depending on their client and mail reading preferences. What's more, most e-mail services give what is now an incredible amount of e-mail storage. Trimming messages is no longer a technical necessity. On those grounds, I submit that the list itself offer complaints over messages which are too long. When I write a long message, I try to give people a heads up at the beginning, and I also expect that plenty won't read it. I view long messages as essential, however, as there are many instances where I could break up a message into multiple parts, but what's the point if I can write a single, flowing missive to the group.

Re: [Audyssey] Moderator reminder: Trimming messages
Hi Dakotah, To be honest, I'm not altogether sure why this rule applies myself. My logical guess would be that the mailing list has to send each message out to each member, which takes up bandwidth and therefore increases the site admin's running costs. This would be especially obvious during times when the list is rather high-traffic. Imagine if a thread had been going for quite a while and had generated a whole list of replies so that the messages became 100KB. Then imagine that there were 100 such messages. Not only would a single user have to download 10 megabytes of emails, the bulk of which are other portions of the same topic, but also the mail server would have to process 2 gigabytes of messages in sending those 100 large messages to a list with, let's say, 250 members. Even if this is not the main reason, it probably contributes, and other reasons are obviously logical hence the restriction's existence. All I know is, as moderator I have to enforce these rules, and I satisfy myself with that. Grin.

Re: [Audyssey] Moderator reminder: Trimming messages
Hi Dakotah, We usually don't just reject messages out of hand. At least I don't at any rate. I've personally approved a number of messages that were larger than the size limitation if it is a case of a single message too long to fit in the standard 10 KB limit. Such examples include news letters, the Audyssey Magazine,and various other posts that were trimmed but still too big. However, if I see a one or two line message with two or three posts attached to it I reject those immediately because its obvious the person composing the message made no attempt to trim the message. They just hit reply and expected it to go through. Bottom line, we try to use some judgment here when deciding which messages do and don't get rejected. As for the messages you are speaking of that got rejected I'd have to see them to explain why they may have been rejected. Usually its not just because it is too big. There may be other reasons besides that, or the moderator who rejected it was simply treating the size limitation rule more strictly than I generally do. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] Moderator reminder: Trimming messages
Hi Michael, That is what we generally do. As I said in my prior post we often don't just reject a post because it is too large. There are plenty of posts such as news letters from game developers that are too big to go through, but we obviously approve them right away since the author wasn't responding to a million posts but just creating a very long e-mail. The same would hold for a reply that was properly trimmed but ended up being too large. I go ahead and approve them because the author made the attempt to trim. Sometimes a message is like half a KB over the 10 KB limit. That amount is so small that I generally approve them anyway simply because its possible it went over the limit by accident, and if it wasn't, well, its not a huge amount over the limit. No matter how you look at it we try to use our personal judgment when rejecting messages rather than just rejecting messages out of hand because it is x KB over the limit. Cheers!

[Audyssey] Moderator reminder: Trimming messages.
Hi, listers. As many of you know Raul and I have put a 8 KB limit on all standard posts to this list to cut down message size as well as to limit repeted material over and over again. However, I have just seen three messages from three different people be rejected on the grounds of message size. It is to bad as all three posts would have added to the Sryth discussions. Anyway, the point is people if you want your message to be seen and read by others on this list you need to go to the end of the post you are responding to, do a shift control end to select old unwanted content, and then press delete. After that control+home will restore you to the top of the message to type your reply. Alternatively you can do inline answers to the message you are responding to, and delete the rest of the message after you have finished your inline response. Either way you decide to choose you need to trim messages often else they will end up rejected as they will go over the message limit. Thank you. ___ Gamers mailing list ..
