It is a bit odd to complain about excessive posting by posting a message

with 27 attachments. Personally I just use the delete button to deal with

all the messages that I don't want to read. There are currently no rules

for posting other then that you have to be a list member to post. Only OBRA

members can be list members. The postings are unmoderated because the job

of moderating them was another thing added on top of what Candi already does



for OBRA. Originally she had planned to have 2 lists, one open to all posts

like the current list, and one moderated to only contain race results and

announcements. There were complaints about that system, people felt they

either got too many messages or too few. In addition it still required time

to moderate.



If there are going to be more rules about use of the OBRA list then either

someone will need to step forward to volunteer to be the list moderator or

the rules will need to be self enforced. Personally I vote for just hitting

delete.

I am wondering what the rules are for email posting. It appears that some

people are using our OBRA Chat forum for commercial purposes. Attached are

several of Mr. John Lackeys excessive (in my humble opinion) emails since

October 3, 2000. I think we got the picture that the Raleigh 3 speeds are

for sale on the first post, why are they posted 3 times? Everyone please

post your thoughts on how often it is appropriate for an individual to post

sale items on OBRA Chat. I am thinking an average of once a week (max) is

good rule.



What do you think?
