While I fully agree that it's helpful to have the information quickly, I
wouldn't personally want any hard and fast rules. For a start, subject boxes
on mails are rather short and by the time I've written something like "new
game, Inquisitor chapter 3 sister's in dream" or "new spinoff from
inquisitor series Inquisitor's heartbeat" I've likely gone over the limit of
what will be displayed.
Plus of course, some games are multiplatform anyway, look at the
choiceofgames titles that can be played on Android, Ios, in Google chrome,
or indeed online on their own site through any web browser.
Then of course I'm not sure how affective regulating people's subject lines
is anyway or indeed whether moderator's should be attempting to lay down
rules about what information people include in their e-mails anyway (to me
that would be stepping over the free speech boundry a little, though of
course I'm not a moderator for this list).
I would recommend that people perhaps write at the top of a message what
platform the game is, eg starting with "this is a great new game for
windows" rather than "this is a great new game in which you do so and so"
and then finishing with the platform, though even this I'd say should be in
the matter of a be a suggestion rather than a rule.
All the best,
Dark.

Subject: Re: [Audyssey] A suggestion for subject lines
i think it's a good idea
i've defenetly had times where i've been interested in what someone's
posted, only to find out near the end of the post it can only be played on
what ever platform
i also think it's worth putting in the subject what game it is.
is it an audio game?. brouzer game?. mud?
