(...) I think lugnet.admin.announce might work also. lugnet.announce.important might work, but is a little heavy handed. :) Definitely try rewording the charter, and maybe consider moving it down a little bit in the list. (26 years ago, 10-Oct-98, to lugnet.admin.general)

Informal call for dicussion... lugnet.announce ===...=== Should (and can?) lugnet.announce be renamed to something else which isn't such a newbie magnet? Is the current name just too inviting to newbies Would a name such as (...) (26 years ago, 10-Oct-98, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) Good suggestion. I think lugnet.announce.important wouldn't really do much good -- after all, everything I say is important. (26 years ago, 10-Oct-98, to lugnet.admin.general)

Well, yes, of course it is. :) Me too, and Mike especially. :) I guess renaming would be a last resort -- I'll move it down on the web page list, and on the web posting page, it really ought to repeat the group charter, especially for groups (...)

(...) Okee, instead of moving it down on the page, I changed the title bar of the announcements block from "Announcements" to "Important Announcements" and reworked the description: General-interest announcements to the community (breaking news (...)

(...) No. It's a useful, GOOD group. Make it moderated and you're the only person that can post stuff to it. IF you want REAL Lego stuff there too, all people have to do is send it to you. Make the Followup-To automatically set to (...) (26 years ago, 10-Oct-98, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) Couldn't you just set up the group so that only you (or others that admin Lugnet) post to it? I thought you could do this with NNTP... An ISP that I'd use to belong to did something similar to this. They set up one group where only the ISP (...) (26 years ago, 11-Oct-98, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) Agreed! It has been my experience that *.announce groups are low-volume, moderated groups with almost no "discussion" going on, and that's why I subscribe to them. -gyug (26 years ago, 12-Oct-98, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) Todd, I'd agree that this is generally a normal assumption. But I still see the use for a general announcement group, and lugnet.announce sure seems like the intuitive name for that too. How about making lugnet.announce such that "Followup-To" (...) (26 years ago, 12-Oct-98, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) I like that. I bet it would go a long ways toward keeping newbies from posting non-announcements there too. Probably pretty easy to add to the injection stuff. Sounds like a good second thing to try before resorting to more stuff. (The first (...) (26 years ago, 12-Oct-98, to lugnet.admin.general)
