Message 477071 - Posted: 9 Dec 2006, 3:39:10 UTC - in response to Message 477067.  

Click the more info link when you make a post.
I thought that was a link to more rules.

Read the last thing there.

Have you ever noticed that isn't the same as setimods@ssl.berkeley.edu ....?

And yet when I send a test message to either addr nothing comes thru.

I get the ssl one, not the setiathome one

Which is probably why people use that email address and never get an answer...lol, it really is a black hole...hehe

Wasn't it Dr. A who wrote that page? Or was it Matt?

I would suggest that you might ask Admin to include a link to MODERATION somewhere at the top of the Cafe message boards page since folks may not know where to find it, or even if it exists.

No it's Not - some of the info from the moderation.php page is, but not all of it. Neither is the setimods email link. That's the problem - you, the mods, the admin - you have been here so long that you just don't see things from a members point of view. Or how difficult it is to find the information 'you' think is so obvious to find. It does not matter what 'you' can see or what you 'think' you can see. What matters is what the 'members' can see and what 'they' "think" they can see, or, more importantly, what they can't see, or don't see because something is 'wrong' about how the info is available - as opposed to your frustration that they 'should' see it. Don't get frustrated - fix it.

My Head Hurts! I agree with you. Unless you Click on more info you will never Know.
The Email addy to the mods at least should be listed in the rules.

the e-mail is there (though it something you have to 'copy & paste' and when you Post - on the LEFT SIDE are the 'Rules' and @ the End of those Rules is this: (in Red) More info . . . which is the 'Moderation Post' (in BOLD) that SETI Posts

Well, if you really think that most people are going to bother with following links to the maze of links and read everything, and remember how they got there, when all they want to place is post, then that explains the gulf between 'admin' and what people actually do. Why hide the important stuff in hidden links? There is plenty of room to put one tiny link to the moderation.php page at the top with HOME ,PARTICIPATE, MODERATION CONTACT, ABOUT, COMMUNITY etc which is likely to elicit a click and a remembrance of easy in-the-face access link to all the mod rules and email contacts. So simple, yet you just can't see it.
