Grex Oldcoop Conference

Item 138: Coop Conference Courtesy Proposal - Descriptive titles

Entered by ea on Wed Mar 10 04:38:11 2004:

This is NOT a member proposal to be voted on, merely a suggestion.

Lately, there have been a lot of "Member Proposals" and "Proposed Bylaw
Changes".  I'd like to request that when posting such an item, you give
it a title such as "Member Proposal: Goal of the proposal"

For example:
Member Proposal: Change the Root Password

or

Bylaw Ammendment: Voting Procedure Changes

or

Member Proposal: Colocation

This would make it much easier to read through coop, and would probably
save everyone a bit of time.

Nice idea!

#2 of 18 by aruba on Wed Mar 10 17:04:21 2004:

I agree - that's a good idea.  And it's possible to change item titles with
Backtalk.

So the fairwitness could do it.

I agree, it would be nice.  But I really don't want to see the
FWs getting into changing user's text, so I'd like to see
the header of an item left to the poster, who may or may
not want to follow this suggestion.

Don't some Backtalk interfaces allow the user to change item titles for 
their own viewing?

If it's a stupid insistence that Grex censors its users use:
"Entered by Todd,Seattle,866-867-5245,866-867-5245 (tod)"

If the item author won't retitle it to what everyone wants, the FW will just
remove it.

Why use symbols that people will forget the meaning of, instead of the words
themselves?

Re. 11:  words are symbols, girly.

#15 of 18 by sholmes on Thu Mar 11 03:07:15 2004:

Or a separate conference for member proposals itself.

If you use "#" people will argue over its name.
