[ADVOC] - Tag for Ruby Advocacy Related Topics

[Ilias Lazaridis]

may I ask the community to introduce a tag, e.g. "[ADVOC]" or "[ADVO]"
or "[ADVOCACY]" for ruby advocacy related threads?

would increase the informative value and would allow easier filtering.

I thought we were using [ADV] for that, but perhaps it [ADV] actually
stood for advertisement or advice.

Seriously, though, how many of these threads do we get? Perhaps it
would be even better to break up ruby-talk into more mailing-lists,
instead of using a bunch of tags?,

You can ask.

Doesn't mean you'll get it.

Seriously, I don't see the value in such a tag, the way that [ANN]
does. I personally don't plan on using such a tag -- if I am
discussing my efforts toward advocating Ruby, I consider that general
interest.

what you consider it is irrelevant.

that's what are tag's for: the reader to decides

You misspelled "author". Do get your terminology right -- but you have
a problem with that, don't you?

What makes Austin's comment irrelevant? He certainly is a reader. You
have an opinion, he has an opinion. Although you do not share his
opinion, you most certainly have to respect it. You can request whatever
you want, nobody will care because you are not in the position to demand
anything from anyone. In fact, no one is: newsgroups are democracy, not
dictatorship. If you have a suggestion, as you can see it is discussed.
If people like it, it may be used; if not, you have to live with this.

Can we please introduce tag [TROLL]?

there seems to be some consensus among a number of users of this maillist.
they believe you should tag your messages as [ILIAS].

that would increase the informative value and would allow easier filtering.

Dmitry V. Sabanin, April 19:

Can we please introduce tag [TROLL]?

Yes. Lately it seems that the need for a [TROLL] tag has increased
exponentially with the number of posts originating in .gr and perhaps
a new tag “would increase the informative value and would allow for
easier filteringâ€,

may I ask the community to introduce a tag, e.g. "[ADVOC]" or
"[ADVO]" or "[ADVOCACY]" for ruby advocacy related threads?

Problem in all cases is that the initial 'ADV' may result in false UCE
alerts. What about the following?

[R-VOCACY]

This tag avoids the 'ADV' triptychon of the beast, sounds similar to
'advocacy', has the Ruby 'R' and is built in the same way as
ad-vocacy.

Seriously, I don't see the value in such a tag, the way that [ANN]
does. I personally don't plan on using such a tag -- if I am
discussing my efforts toward advocating Ruby, I consider that general
interest.

Some of us just get annoyed at the people who clog us this list with stuff
that has nothing to do with using ruby, or making ruby more useful.

I don't see the value in hyperventilating at every media mention of ruby,
or in various language competitions, or in any other advocacy discussion.

Just keep on using ruby, or making ruby easier to use, and you've done all
you can do.

Likewise, there is another group that believes that nobody should
respond to Ilias at all. It worked for the lispers. I guess this is
another area where the lisp community proves to be years ahead of
everyone else. It only took them from Aug 2002 to Oct 2002 to ignore
him out of the group.

Thank you.

I understand.

the would detect "ADVERTISMENT".

ad-vocacy.

I understand you thought, but it's not selfexplaining.

-

possibly [MEDIA] or [NEWS] is more adequate - normally someone mentions
something from somewhere.

I understand your frustration.

but other people see the value in this.

you should tolerate this.

-

you wrote "media mention of ruby"

media...

Just keep on using ruby, or making ruby easier to use, and you've done all
you can do.

that's why tag's are for.

to allow people to post (even off-topic "[OT]").

and to allow people to filter.

-

comp.lang.ruby.media = comp.lang.ruby - subject: [MEDIA] ...

-

I like the '[MEDIA]' tag.

Yes, but some of us 'superstars' would like to filter out everyone who
responds to you as well. It would increase informative value (by
improving the signal to noise ratio) and allow for easier filtering.
