Welcome "Homme"
| 
Aug 25 03:38 UTC 1994 |
Welcome to Homme, the men's conference. The purpose of this conference
is to provide a place to discuss issues which are of relevance to men.
Although topics may range from the serious to the perversely silly, as
with most Grex conferences, it is my hope that we can develop it into
a conference where we can talk about serious issues comfortably. Also,
please avoid unnecessarily misogynist (and misandrist) comments. All
are welcome to post and discuss.

Why? We can't freeze the welcome item; wouldn't be traditional.
It just ain't right, is all.

I agree with brighn. What good is a welcome item if you can't
contribute to its drift?

Freezing is done when an item has become inflammatory, irrelevant to the
conference, or otherwise inappropriate to the spirit of the conf or to
Grex. An item may be frozen either by the original entrant or by a
FairWitness for the conf (in this case, Jim, Ryan, or I). When an
item is frozen, it can still be read, but no new responses can be made to
it. Items can also be completely deleted (or at least hidden from view).
One more reason foor freezing: a FW may want to have an item that is
specifically updated only by the FW -- specs on the conf, for instance.
FuzCourt, for example, has a list of approved court members that only
King Fuzzy changes. In these cases, the item is thawed, appended, then
frozen again.
(Was that fairly accurate, those who know more than I do?)

I think that's pretty accurate. I can think of an example that doesn't
fit any of your categories: the 6-letter word game in the IQ & Language
conferences is on its third edition, because when the first two editions
approached 1000 responses they got really slow. The first two editions
have been frozen.

Good point. At least one item in Oathbound has gotten out of hand,
and should be frozen for the same reason.

I dunno. Maybe it's already been frozen. "Meandering Maundering" I
think it was.

It hasn't been frozen, merely sleeping. It's item #2, and over 1100... I
may freeze it and restart the item. Wouldn't that almost be a first,
resarting an item, I've heard of conference restarts, but an item?

No, that's the point -- items are regularly restrated when they get too
many responses.
