(...) Todd, Are you going to finalize the change in TOS limiting all market activity to appropriate groups, or finalize that you won't be making the change? I hate to see people keep tripping over the TOS. Everyone else, I strongly suggest you read (...) (25 years ago, 6-Nov-00, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.admin.terms)

Sorry Eng, I generally don't like policing things, but as far as I know, posting messages regarding sales and/or auctions to the groups other than lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade and lugnet.market.auction. And I believe you should immediately break (...) (25 years ago, 6-Nov-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.admin.general)

(...) *puzzled* I think you missed the context, which was that maybe messages should get marked up slightly just for having a lot of responses. (I'm not convinced that this would really be a good thing, but it's an interesting idea.) (25 years ago, 4-Nov-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) It wouldn't matter -- a zero or "- - -" vote is an "undo" or "null" vote. That is, only "Highlight" and "Spotlight" get counted; submitting "- - -" is like not submitting anything. This prevents things from being marked down super-low. --Todd (25 years ago, 3-Nov-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
