Hey Ken,
Amendment B makes perfect sense to me.
Amendment A is a little less straight-forward. If I want to do a search for all posts related to Ham Radio, and the policy amendment A is in force, then I am likely to find nothing if I search tags. It seems a little counter-intuitive to have to search in two places to find something. I wonder - as an alternative in which I'd be happy to support amendment A - if it's possible to include series results in the tag search?
Cheers,
Dave
Hi All,
During hpr3586 :: HPR Community News for April 2022 Dave and I discussed some policy changes that we would like to see implemented. Can you please provide your feedback on the following changes.
A. Tags.
The modification of tags is an ongoing process and are often modified to improve navigation. Host name/handle, series name should not be included in tags.
B. Clarification of the two week scheduling guideline
Remove: "5. If you are uploading a series of shows, consider scheduling one every two weeks."
Add: "5. Under normal circumstances any host should only schedule one show every two weeks."
With regard to A. Tags: are intended to make the site more navigable. They often contain duplicates, misspellings, or can be clustered into full blown series. The series and host names have their own navigation mechanism that tie into the host and the series pages.
With regard to B. 2 Week Scheduling: This helps with keeping the queue stable, as it spreads out the free slots. This would not apply to special reservations, or guideline 2 "Always try and fill any free slots that are available in the upcoming two weeks." At the time of writing there are four weeks with no free slots, yet the four weeks after that are almost empty.
