I'm back for today and tomorrow, then gone again for two weeks... Anyway, Suggestion: It was a year or so ago when we had a lot of long-running debates on various topics; and everyone agreed to a 20-line limit per post. I think it would be a good idea to put the limit back into play, as it is extremely tedious to read through a long, rambling post. (It's even worse to read through lengthy things you just copy-pasted. For those, provide links instead.) Basic forum etiquette (just to remind you): --Things not related to ADOM should be posted on the General forum. --Do not start multiple threads on the same topic. If there's one already and it's still on the first page, make a new post to it rather than starting a new topic. --Unless you are throwing Fireballs at an ancient white dragon, please do not flame anyone. Mod out. ;) Die Gedanken sind Frei [Edited 1 time, last edit on 12/30/2005 at 18:55 (GMT -5) by Iridia] |

Thank you Iridia. This is very much appreciated. So has Echo's online conversion mission been moved to one of the other forums or just removed altogether? |

This is 20 line-rule is quite good. I think that stories-part of the forum is an exception to the rule? |

Agreed on the new rules, but was it really necessary to *delete* my topic? :P |

The forum doesn't allow me to move it. I guess I could've locked it instead; that's what I'll most likely do next time we get an off-topic post in a forum. Die Gedanken sind Frei [Edited 1 time, last edit on 12/31/2005 at 19:22 (GMT -5) by Iridia] |

That will make really short posts for those who have 15 lines long sigs :) The Great Wyrm of Order breathes light (more) - wow, you feel very smart! |

I vote for 20 lines *including* a sig. That'd make their usage more apropriate: as sigs, not as dumps. Ubi patria ibi bene! |

Well, I think that a letter limitation for a signature would be good. Something like 200-250 letter should be enough. |

I was under the impression that the 20-line rule should be called by the originator of a thread. If an originator wants to allow long rambling posts, I think it should be his/her call. Those of us who can't be bothered to read through the drivel can just ignore that thread. As for signatures, IMHO, I think people should feel shame and humiliation if their signature is longer than their post! [Edited 1 time, last edit on 1/19/2006 at 14:49 (GMT -5) by Caladriel] |
