[Audyssey] Moderator: Off Topic Messages

2011-08-26 Thread Damien C. Pendleton
Hey List,
I must once again bring up the painful but somehow ironically recently 
reoccurring subject of off topic messages on list. It keeps being stated, 
reminded, warned etc, and it keeps slipping by the wayside.
The guidelines, and the moderators in person, have clearly stated that all off 
topic messages should be sent to Kevin, Tom and myself for review before 
posting to the Audyssey list, either to our individual addresses, or to us as a 
whole at gamers-ow...@audyssey.org.
We have already placed one or two people on moderated status for the posting of 
nonapproved messages within the last week and I'm afraid we shall continue to 
enforce the guidelines to keep the list running as smooth as possible. This 
means that unfortunately I will have to place Hayden on moderated status along 
with those who are already on moderated status for the same reason. Please, as 
with the last topic, nobody reply to Hayden's post.
Regards,
Damien Pendleton,
Co-Moderator of the Audyssey List.

Shaun,
Thomas has already posted an email about off topic messages regarding the 
TextPal topic and has put some people on moderated status. He asked that 
nobody respond to the topic. As you have responded thereby breaking list 
guidelines, I feel I have no choice but to moderate you as well.

Regards,
Damien C. Pendleton,
Co-Moderator of the Audyssey List.

Hi all,

This is a moderator warning that all, that means all, off topic
messages are not aloud on this list unless otherwise approved by a
moderator such as Raul or myself. Most of you have read the list
guidelines plenty of times to know this so this is the first and last
warning I'm going to issue on this. Future off topic messages with or
without the (ot) notice in the subject will result in the offending
party being immediately placed on moderated status until such time as
he/she can prove to us they will stick to the list guidelines.

Thanks.

Hi everyone,
I realise some of you are new here on the list, and if so I really
recommend you read the list guidelines sent to you when you subscribed
to the list. I've noticed several new and old list members sending off
topic posts to the list. That's a big no-no, and our polacy here is if
you believe something is off topic to ask one of the list moderators
about it before posting. To speak to a  moderator about this list, a
potential subject, etc send an e-mail to
gamers-ow...@audyssey.org.
In short an off topic post is defined by anything that is not game
related. You can talk about games weather they are accessible,
partially accessible, electronic or card/board games, game consoles,
joysticks, etc. Basicly, if it is game related in any way it is
probibly on topic here.  What is not on topic is general computer help
questions,  where to buy external hard drives, or where someone got
his/her signature line from. Such questions can be asked off list or
posted to another list where the content of the message is on topic.
Thanks, and have a good day.

Sincerely,
Thomas Ward
Co-Moderator of the Audyssey Mailing List

Hello everyone,
Ok, the off topic posts have gone on long enough. Plese, let us sease 
with the off topic posts and get things back to more or less game 
related topics. Cara has setup a general discussion list for these 
unrelated off topic posts, and I suggest anyone who wants to discuss 
something off topic for this list head over there to chat.
As for why Kevin, Raul, and I generally do not allow off topic posts 
there are several factors in our decision. If we allow one person to 
post even one off topic post others tend to join in and begin discussing 
stuff that has nothing to do with gaming. The point of this list is to 
discuss games and not what your  favorite author is, how cool last 
nights movie was, how to do something with Window Eyes or Jaws, etc. The 
owners/moderators of this list feel it is in the list's best interests 
to talk about gaming and game related topics only.
Nicol brought up the point of email client message rules. While that is 
doable the moderators of the list do not feel any lister should be 
forced to create message filters or message rules to block off topic 
posts just because a handful of posters want to discuss something other 
than games on the list. It is up to the moderators to filter and create 
the message rules for the list, and we do that filtering. Besides which 
allot of posters don't often change subject lines accordingly, and it is 
completely possible that off topic content would be found in emails with 
on topic subject lines. So message rules in an email client wouldn't be 
an effective way of blocking off topic posts.
So without delay let us all get things back on topic. Thanks.
