from Shadowtk.
About 1 month ago I showed interrest in once again subscribing to the
shadowtk discussion list.
Before I did, I posted about the fact that my persona "D." had trailers
that he did not understand after his posts. This character was around
last year and had none of this type of troubles.
Anyway, When I made an inquiry about my posts W/ the trailers, I got
no negative responses. I only got posts from several people who were glad
to have "D." back and his unusual quotes back.
This showed me that the quotes were a strong part of his personality,
and had been what people had remembered from over 5 months of not having
posted to shadowtk.
Now, I seem to remember several individuals who had unusual posting
styles, ie. Harlaquin, someone who used ***** instead of >>>>> and a
few others. Those unusual parts of thier posts were part of thier characters
I feel that if an ADMIN would have made some sort of comment to me when
I made my original inquiry I would have had no problems. I may have not even
signed back up to shadowtk.
If you feel the need to flame me for my character, feel free. I would
however, like some sort of admin reply. I have little intention of changing
a long standing and well thought of character. I am sorry if I have stepped
on anyones toes.
Thank you for any time and effort spent.
ciao.

Mein Herr:
I find myself once again having to apprise you as to the accepted
conventions in posting formats. As you apparently saw fit to ignore my
counsel on the previous occasion, and to demonstrate that my previous
intentions were, indeed, sincere, your subscription has been summarily
executed in accordance with well established procedure.
That is not to say, however, that you are by ANY MEANS prohibited
to subscribe yet again; in fact, I would encourage you to do so.
Nevetheless, I stress the point that if you persist in your deviance from
the proper format -- adopted for the benefit of all -- then you shall be
deleted again.
Again, the format is as follows:
Standard Style:
***** (Key Word): Name List (optional)
>>>>>[Text to be discussed]<<<<<
-- ID < Time / Date >
Where:
(Key Word) = This refers to the key words for the two styles of post
encryption, those being "PRIVATE" and "NOT TO".
Name List = This is a list of names of personnas that the encryption is
keyed to. For private messages, it is a list of those who
are able to read the post. For barring messages, it is the
list of people who cannot read the message.
Hence, your encryption should have been:
***** PRIVATE: (whatever group of individuals to which you refer)
Again, I emphasize that you are more than free to re-subscribe, although if
you prove obdurate in your violation of standard formatting, this process
shall be repeated.
