Right, Okay, discussion about, say, should we as Imps do this, or that, or can we change this code into this to make it more effiecent, etc is fine. But when ppl just keep asking the same questions, it's a pain. I don't mind simple questions like: How do I add more levels? It's jsut that EVERYONE answers back to the list says, 'Read the FAQ' or whatever, rather than sending it in to the person that asked. I myself don't mind being singled out for help ( I do it a lot actually) and if I don't know it, I just recommend a method to find out (or even if I do). Stuff like how to add more levels is trivial, and shouldn't be answered that way unless they have problems:) Get my drift? :) > > Maybe we should start a Debate List, so that we can all debate in an > > area where it would be accepted, rather than just spam. > > ...and what makes you think that, that list won't degenerate into > either a spam-fest or just crash and burn? It probably will. But I'm seeing more and more debate around here, like IDeas on Death, where they debate about how death should work. Or how skills should work, etc. That could be a whole new list, while the maintaining stays here, but the new-ideas, and other stuff can goto another list... see what I mean? :) Sorry this is so long! -- Corey Hoitsma AKA -= Myrddin =- ____ choitsma@netcom.com L|azmania ah.net 7000 +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | Ensure that you have read the CircleMUD Mailing List FAQ: | | http://cspo.queensu.ca/~fletcher/Circle/list_faq.html | | Or send 'info circle' to majordomo@cspo.queensu.ca | +-----------------------------------------------------------+
