Transcript Thread Procedure
Posted: Thu Oct 25, 2007 10:13 pm
It has been decided that while many prefer to have a separate forum to hold all of the new SyndieBAM transcripts, it is also better for the transcript threads to be exposed to the main posting Bored for full exposure and to stimulate conversation and other wackiness we typically have around here.
To satisfy both of these desires, the new routine for the handling of transcript threads will be as follows:
The individual members of the BBTranscriptTeam may post their transcripts in either (but not both to avoid having dual threads) the Transcript forum or the Main forum.
*If the transcripts are posted in the Transcript forum, I (or another moderator) will move them to the Main forum, leaving the shadow thread behind, as early as possible (Hopefully no later than mid-morning the next day).
*If the transcripts are posted in the Main forum, I (or another moderator) will move them to the Transcript forum, without leaving a shadow thread behind, then from the Transcript forum move them back to the Main forum, leaving the shadow thread behind on the Transcript forum.
While the threads will read "Moved" on the message list, they are still accessable from the message list and will show all replies that are made on the Main forum. While the thread itself will exist on the Main Bored, and will only bump forward on the Main Bored, the transcript threads will nonetheless be viewable and will accept replies from both forums. This has the added benefit of keeping the transcripts as they appear in the Transcript forum in their proper order and not in the order of their last reply.
Also, all non transcript threads started on the Transcript forum will be moved to the Main forum. If you are visiting here for the first time, please go to the Forum Index and stop by the Bored Posts forum if you wish to discuss something outside of the transcript threads. And even if you don't, stop by anyway....
