Its been less than 24 hours -- hard to claim a trend. But yes, I think posting behavior of the last 24 hours has improved remarkably. Perhaps, hopefully, simply bringing the existing guidelines to peoples' attention is all thats necesssary. And on the new-guidelines front -- such as keeping Subject up to date -- "all is good" today. The guidelines are not rocket science. They are commmon sense, common courtesy. Many posters "spontaneously" post in that way. For those that don't, a reminder is good. And hopefully all thats necessary. On the outer edge, if someone repeatedly and obnoxiously fluants the the guidelines, aka being discourteous and rude on a sustained basis, and five independent posters call him on it, I have no problem if that person's rights to post are suspended for a week or two (they can still read posts). Some people may need more than a carrot to act within within quite broad and liberal posting guidelines. Hopefully not. Such a voluntary call from "the collective" is hardly a power trip by anyone. Nor are the guidelines onerous or oppressive. Those that make or imply such a case are simply confused, or stiring up mud for their amusement.
