Lighten up folks: A Revisit of the *Challenge*
wrote in message oups.com... JimH wrote: The *Challenge*: Perhaps it is time to revisit this issue since the original *Challenge* a month or so ago. I am not disputing the validity of that original challenge but I do have some comments and suggestions. Since that *Challenge* this NG is dripping wet with tensions because of the various mandates placed on it and the participation has actually *decreased* as a result of it. The only decrease in participation is from people who's ONLY agenda here was to harass, lie about others, and otherwise be obnoxious. If you noticed, those people are never heard from anymore. I personally think that's a good thing. I am not suggesting that the *Challenge* was wrong but that we need to perhaps revisit the restrictions it called for as it is obvious it has not worked, including the netcopping of those mandates. I suggest that this new and improved atmosphere has made the NG stale and perhaps even more confrontational., I don't think it's more confrontational! Seriously, I think the people who are now never posting, are the ones who's only agenda was to be confrontational. Suggestions: 1. Stop all netcopping Ignore those who don't abide by the *rules* here (most important!) Jim, you've sure got on this anti-"netcopping" thing. I wonder why, when you used to be the worst offender of this? Why the sudden change? 2. Allow any sort of topic to be posted but make sure it is marked as OT Thank you!! 3. Stop the personal attacks and insults. Again, I think the worst offenders of #3 are the one's that are gone, thus the decreased participation. That's a good thing. 4. Stop the flaming. That'd be good, but with SOME of the people here, that will never stop! 5. Stop the trolling for heated arguments. 6. Ignore those who do not abide by these rules. Do those things and we are fine. Keep on as we are and we are nothing better than what we were. Agreed with exceptions stated above! Good points. |
