From the moderator

Just so you know-

Some of you are on moderated status. This is nothing personal, I only
do this for new members whom I don't know. This is just to limit spam
on the list. Typically I just need to see that you are a real person
and you'll be set unmoderated.

So if you show up as moderated when you try and post, just give me a
day or so to see that you've posted and approve the message. After
that you can post without moderation.

I don't think anyone has done anything bad enough to be moderated
later. Spammers just get banned.

I perfectly understand. I also moderate a few groups and I know that spam is
unfortunately omnipresent on net.

sine ira at studio,
work.

P.S. I am a real person and I use Eagle from Cadsoft.

Hi Steve,

I follow the general line of posts on lists.

if they allow ot posts, I'll do that, if it is cut and
dried, I do that too.

Cad_cam_edm_dro is heavily moderated

basicstamps is lightly and
7x10minilathe is where I vent all my political stuff.

I actually thought I was on the list a long time. I
have a t-tech and posted abut that a few weeks ago.

I don't post often so being moderated is not a
problem.

Though I would correct a mis-statement here. CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO is actually
quite lightly moderated. We do moderate all new members until they post
once or twice so that we can keep out the spammers. Once we see that a
person is posting to the group topics they are put on the normal group
status which is unmoderated. We do monitor the group closely and will
step in as soon as we see a discussion heading off topic. Excluding the
spammer posts that are deleted and the member banned immediately I would
guess that we step in and moderate a member maybe 2 or 3 times a year.
Generally happens when emotions get high and good members sort of loose
their head. Once things cool down and the parties involved are thinking
clearly they are brought back to normal unmoderated status.

What we have done is to foster a culture where everyone knows that off
topic is not welcome and because of that the list pretty well polices
itself.

And that pretty well sums up how I run my lists.

Re: From the moderator - and a question about making boards.

This is pretty much what I meant.

7x10 is considdered a 'gerneral store' where the guys sit around and
shoot the s__t, mostly about the lathe, but also mills, differences,
how to run them, how to select tools, how to cut parts, electronics,
welding, heat treating and any questions about tools, machining or
pretty much any thing you would do in a shop.

BasicStamps is self monitored. The users will ask for off topic
stuff to be stopped.

The CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO list is clear when you sign up, it is about
making machines and the stuff directly related to making them and the
software to use them.

Questions like how to use or select tool bits and cutting speeds and
using the machines are off topic and the moderators are polite but
stick to that format.

As a group we all agreed to that when we signed up and I really
believe the vast majority don't have a problem with it. I certainly
don't and like that there are so many posts daily that are related to
that topic. In fact, more than once, I asked a guy to take his topic
off list. Usually, by offering an explanation of what I thought he
wanted, where to find an answer, and asking that no responses be
posted, not even to say 'thanks' I have also seen some posts in the
fringes that I had an interest in, and gave a real effort to bring
them on topic.

Just the fact that this discussion even made it on this list shows
that it is lightly moderated.

Also, I believe we have discussed it to death and I think it should
be ended. If anyone does want to comment, please feel free to contact
me.

Now, an ON-topic question, I have a T-tech circuit board etcher that
I am planning on putting on e-Bay, software, lisecnsed dongel, the
works.

I would like to replace it with something to do circuit boards, but
my total yearly board use is not really too big. I have done the
iron transfer and like it for small boards, but it does (in my
opinion) have limitations.

What would anyone suggest a novice guy use to make boards ? I have
been using Eagle in a limited fashion and have not ever needed to
exceed the limits of the trial version, so my boards are not too
large.

Dave
(btw, any idea how to price the T-tech unit?)

2003-03-21 by Steve Greenfield

OK, enough about that. I only wanted people who may be moderated to
realize they haven't done anything wrong, it isn't personal, and it
isn't permanent.

And Dave, it is bad form to hijack a thread. ;') Start another with
your question, please.
