[Dynagroove] Ok I have mixed feelings

[BadIYE at aol.com]

Hi Zoki,
 
I think i've been generally committed to and compliant with those  rules.  
I'm 100% in agreement regarding conflicting events on  Friday.   But as far as 
the repeat posting, i just realized that  between my postings and my partners', 
we may have unwittingly possibly  broken the first rule.  How do you handle 
posting by multiple promoters for  one event?  each promoter may have different 
things to say about the  event, which makes it not the same exact post...plus 
the identity of the  promoter makes a difference...some people, who may not 
care what I  post and wouldn't read it, may stop and read a post about the same 
party from  someone else they know...can you clarify on this subject, please? 
  gracias...
 
imad.

as one  of the list administrators, i can tell you that there are a number
of  promoters out there who don't pay attention to the current rules of  the
list:

1. don't post your event more than twice a week - and yes,  we do get
subsribers to the list who email us personally to let us know  that there
is excessive promotion on the list, and

2. don't post a  conflicting event.

so adding new rules won't help.

to me, it is  a weekly radio show - you should post it once a week. even
though they  aren't really my rules, i feel the same about the weekly club
events. they  should be posted once a week to the list. there is an actual
archives to  the list that people can  reference:

http://mailman.newdream.net/pipermail/dynagroove/

it  is attached as a footer to each and every email that posts to the list,
and  it is sorted 4 ways (by thread, date, author and subject!!).

as for  allowing friday night events though...jesus, come on already. it is
the  "dynagroove" list after all. there are plenty of other list servs  and
promotional tools out there for your events.

let's put it this  way, for those of you out there with your own websites
and elists  (bodyrocks, futurehouse, vinyltribe, etc.) do you let
conflicting events go  out to your subscribers? if you do or don't, why did
you decide on  that?

zoki.
