Robot Monkey Posted August 14, 2003 Report Share Posted August 14, 2003 Why not use our powers for good and not evil? What are your constructive thoughts on building and maintaining community? Please keep in mind: 1. Let's avoid naming names when it comes to people who are not present and can't defend themselves. Further, let's assume that lcvg is a fresh start for everyone -- let's give certain folks another bite at the apple to show they be good members of this community. 2. Please, let's not turn this into a bitchfest about how other sites are run and keep in mind that the discussion is just that -- discussion. Rules come from lcvg's owners, not general consensus in a topic started by Robot Monkey. -j Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamsappel Posted August 14, 2003 Report Share Posted August 14, 2003 Please, no "13375p34k" in posts, unless you're being sardonic. And as I've said elsewhere (hmmm, thread deleted), no "those damn neighborhood kids just cut across my lawn again" threads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Monkey Posted August 14, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2003 Funny you mention those two, Allen. They both feature prominently in my Field Guide to Pest Posts (entries 1331 and 10-04, respectively). Here's a question to get you guys going: Obviously, a site needs to be accessible to new members. But old members understandably don't want to see the same threads and questions popping up over and over again. So we reply to these things with a curt "Use the search function" or "Read the FAQ" or "RTFM". How do you avoid repetitive threads without turning off newcomers? -j Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamsappel Posted August 14, 2003 Report Share Posted August 14, 2003 I think one of the responsibilities of modship is to provide links to previously-discussed topics, PMing the poster and *deleting* the new thread. Otherwise, using the search function will still just turn up all those "What are some good GBA games?/Use the search button, #@&%er!" threads.
