What Price Success? Improving Posting Quality on HPfGU

[dumbledore11214]

Carolyn:
Tim, a point of clarification. The proposal to review all posts 
before publication was purely to enable the elves to more easily 
enforce the *existing* HBF list rules on snipping, headings, OT-ness, 
tone, FAQs etc, nothing more. 

Alla:

Respectfully, I have to say that this is not how it sounded in your 
original post ( to me at least). I read it more like scanning the 
posts for substance in them and returning them if they don't add 
anything to the discussion, which I find to be very subjective 
criteria. 

I also thought that you were suggesting in your original post that 
the arguments should be strictly construed according to specific 
criteria, suggested by you and Kneasy, otherwise the post is not good 
enough to be on the list.
So, I am glad that I did not understand you correctly.


I still immensely dislike the idea of moderating everybody, but I am 
all for continue enforcing the rules, as you clarified them. I happen 
to think that those rules are being enforced quite well as of now, to 
tell you the truth, but of course there is always a room for 
improvement.



Carolyn:
As I understood the official response, it is an idea that can't be 
considered because there are not enough elves to do the job. This is 
a pity because in other respects it has a good deal of merit in 
maintaining basic standards on a large and busy list. 
 
Alla:

I disagree with that. 


Just my opinion of course,

Alla
