A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

Fair, though I'd also note that Elena voluntarily pulled the DM notices,
Yes, she did.
and there seems to be community pressure not to be frivolous with the attention granted.
Not to be frivolous with the attention granted to posts in Press -- yes, and I'd add that there's some disagreement re: what frivolous/inappropriate is. As to specific types of posts, even though some are viewed less favorably than others, it's still a matter of personal judgement. So, taking into account that post X may bug some people, a poster still decides if reason's Y and Z outweigh that or don't outweigh it for a particular post.
At this point?
(And, the Stompies regulate natter, etc. in the specialized threads, and I'm assuming there's some latitude for them to judge and delete or repost somewhere else any, you know, wildly inappropriately placed posts, so there's that mechanism, too.)
Wh--there's a Press thread?
You're the reason we can't have nice threads.
Wh--there's a Press thread?
You and you alone have been blocked from seeing it.
would Bob mind if I married your brain?
I don't think that's allowed in this state, but I'll check it out.
I don't think partial-person marriages have been legislated in my state. YSMV.
What about mixed parts from different sources? Does it still count as polygamy if it's less than or equal to one whole person?

Isn't that the central question in The Bride of Frankenstein?
Well it should've been...
'Voluntary' is accurate in that there was no vote, and no official board notification that I should stop posting dm notices in Press, but I did feel pressured to stop doing something that, in my view, was not against board policy.
That the method I'm using now works is great - but if it hadn't, we certainly would have had to had some kind of official decision on what belongs in Press.
