Default OT (sorta) ASP Message flags suggestion.



I have a suggestion, or at least an idea to bounce off of everyone.

We have subject tags, like "OT", "AD" "TRADE", "POLL" or whatever.
AFAIK, these tags are there to make it easier on the people who are only
here to read about pipes etc. It's easy to set up a message filter so
that you don't see any message in which the subject begins with "OT".

That being said, why don't we have one for political threads? They
aren't technically OT, since they usually pertain to us as smokers, and
our rapidly diminishing rights. There are those, however who want to
debate politics in a political plce, and read about pipes in a pipe
place. Also many of our members live outside the US, and our political
problems are of little use or interest to them.

I propose that we add a new subject tag for political threads, if the
interest warrants. I suggest we not use "POL" or POLI" as they're very
similar to "POLL". "PLT" might work, or perhaps even "BS" =)

Does this sound like a reasonable idea?

I am a newcomer to ASP. However, I have enjoyed
lurking on various news sites for years. IMHO ASP,
when compared with other sites, is
generally seriously well-behaved and disciplined. Even
hostile interlopers are treated courteously. May
I suggest that further rules are unnecessary. Too many
enforced subject tags could easily inhibit the spontaneity.

Pretty soon, you'll need a decoder ring before you post.

The tags are pretty useless if they get to complex. AD, ANN and OT are
pretty much all you need... IMO...

Eminently reasonable! The problem lies in enforcement.

Politics should be discussed in the news group forum alt.discuss.politics.
Political postings to this group could result in Bill's head exploding.
Ewww........what a mess that would be.
