Re: User-friendly friend in Trib (4.00 / 4)

Some of that was covered previously in discussions about the next version of ET.

I don't think we'll be going for anonymous comments though. It's hard enough to keep spam out as it is, and I'm not sure it helps the atmosphere. It can be done though ...

Re: User-friendly friend in Trib (none / 0)

Oh yes.. I put the list of what I recall from these conversation plus the new ones I have realized.

I am not sure that doing what my friend says is a good idea. But I think I had to share.

A pleasure

I therefore claim to show, not how men think in myths, but how myths operate in men's minds without their being aware of the fact. Levi-Strauss, Claude

The obvious solution (4.00 / 3)

Would be a permanent and short ''this is who we are and how you can join us'* explanation, placed prominently on the FP.

It would explain:

the outline aims of ET (informed discussion of a wide range of topics including economics, science, politics etc etc)
the context: civil dialogue
The method: diary-led with comments
How to join

It would also include a link to a more detailed explanation of how to join and how to post (ie the new user FAQ - which should in any case be visible to all.

You can't be me, I'm taken
