Hello All; Hope everyone is having a terrific day / evening wherever you may be!
I'm writing to let you know of an updated list policy we have, regarding one line notes. For those who may not be aware of this, On VIPhone and MacVisionaries, we really encourage you all to put more into your notes than a single line of text or one or two words. Further to this, we actually ask that people please avoid posting such notes. The reason for this is that as we always have new people joining these groups, reading one line answers to questions or 'thank you' type messages with nothing else in the body of the note really can just leave someone asking 'What is this thread really about?' So rather than have this happen, please just take a minute before you click send to reread your note and see if it makes sense by itself. Does your answer actually stand on its own? If someone is reading just your note, can they make sense of what you're talking about? We absolutely understand that everyone slips from time to time and can dash off a quick message and just click send without a second thought. It happens; it's just reality. :) What we're asking here is that people be aware of this and simply flesh out their notes just a little bit more. These lists are for email, not for chat. -Make sense? So here's the policy change. rather than placing people who continually post one-liners on no-posting status, (which means people cannot then post to either group) what we're going to do now is place such people on moderated status. this is definitely not a punishment thing, but just to keep the noise level down on the lists. These two groups are pretty large at this point, and it's really important for us to keep a high level of quality in our information as our traffic is pretty high. -Just be considerate of eachother when you post, and really put enough into your notes to make them make sense to everyone; even those who may not be following the entire thread to which you're responding. Does this make sense? If anyone has any questions, please don't hesitate to email any of the list mods.
