Re: [Audyssey] Happy Eid

[Thomas Ward]

Hi Shaun and all,

Putting on my moderator hat for a moment. As far as the list rules are
concerned we have never had any prohibitions against holiday well
wishes, but however do discourage religious proselytizing. To clarify
it is okay to wish someone a happy holiday, insert holiday name here,
but it is not okay to preach sermons or share religious material with
the list as we feel there are better places for that sort of thing.
Hope that makes our stance on the subject clear.

As far as talking about holiday events and cut-off periods I think
that all depends on the topic at hand. If it is gaming related, has
some aspect of gaming involved, of course I think it should last as
long as necessary. However, if it is holiday well wishes etc those
should be on or as near to the day in question and not begin too far
or last too long after the holiday. We have better things to do than
send and receive lots of happy holiday messages.

Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] Happy Eid

[dark]

Hi.

I'm afraid I can't claim credit entirely for this sinse while I knew Eid was 
around this time of year, I couldn't have told you the exact date (in 
fairness I probably couldn't have told you the date of Easter this year 
either). However, one of our Islamic members posted a topic on the 
audiogames.net forum, and so it seemed only right to offer my respects.


all the best,

Dark.

Hi Tom.

That was the reason I did this, though in fairness remember that sinse 
Hanuca, Christmas, and the Winter solstice all happen at the end of 
december, you can use quite a bit of short hand :D.


All the best,

Dark.

Hi Dark,

Good point. While I'd prefer the list not get cluttered with holiday
well wishes for every holiday of the year I do agree that since we
often observe Christian holidays like Christmas and Easter it is only
fair to include other holidays in turn.

Re: [Audyssey] Happy Eid

[Shaun Everiss]

To be honest I don't mind if for whatever religious etc holiday islamic 
christian holiday etc if the list or lists are flooded with traffic a 
week before and maybe a week after for timezones and the like.
Only so many well wishes can ever bee sent  at one time anyway and when 
busy I often forget a major holiday with the acception of christmas 
especially if I am busy or tired.
And in the case of the us zone, boxing day may as well be another 
christmas for me as it can vary from parties to nothing doing so I can 
listen to more christmas later so I don't care.

As long as the messages are generic that is.
What I can't stand is people imposing their beliefs etc on list in 
general, I have family that are like this and while I respect them there 
is a limit on how many times I will be able to hear sertain words and 
accept them with the grace they deserve, ie the words are constantly in 
every sentence.

I will leave it at that.
My point is, if someone wants to start chatting about events 3 or so 
days before and 3 or so days after thats fine and in the case of 
christmas I am already listening to adds on radio for it.

Heloeen is up soon.
Heck with all the game sales going round all the events like thanks 
giving etc and stores its not out of place to start.
I do recieve about 200 or so messages a day, I only ask that if there 
will be traffic on list for said events especially since they are 
celebrated for a major part off the world that while I accept a cut off 
for new threads will have to come in at some point shortly afterr the 
event end, I do think people will need time based on timezone to respond 
as long as they change subject after that and don't go on.
The only other thing I can fairly say is if a message about something 
comes out of place when there is not an event or its like a few months 
away from it or whatever well.
Its coming up to the end of the month of september now, so I guess mid 
october or for the month its heloeen bits and bobs after that I guess we 
can start talking about christmas eventts and ofcause on december well 
its all on.
The only acceptions to all this should be if you have a set of events 
that are happening online you may want to announce them before the event 
so people can put it in their diaries if they want to attend.
I do try to put the entire christmas eve/ day period off from training 
though to be honest I do try hard to be out by the pool or not online.
This is mainly why I am really evaluating my online activities including 
testing online games during weekends though I will try to if I am not 
doing anything go online.
There is a lot of family preasure to gget me out of the net collective 
though.

Re: [Audyssey] Happy Eid

[Shaun Everiss]

I agree dark.
For all the equality we say we westerners have and enjoy we don't always 
give the rest of the world that choice.

Its easy to do because even I do it but still.
Its good to know that somewhere in the world there is something to 
celebrate and lets face it.

The eastern half needs a good party once in a while.
They spend a lot of time beating eachother up for various reasons.
