[DS9] S.O.S. #2 - The Sword of Kahless
Joseph Reiss
______________________________________________________________________
A WARNING TO ALL...
This past weekend, I was informed that someone has apparently been
tampering with the SOS ratings, using the web pages to modify other
people's scores. So far, I'm only aware of one person who has been
affected. But I want to serve this warning to everyone. First, to
the legitimate SOS contributors: you may want to check your past
ratings on the web page if you can to make sure you haven't been hit
as well. Second, to the person(s) responsible for this vandalism:
please stop. You're hurting everyone by doing this. I've been
working under the assumption so far that everyone would behave
themselves, since this is just a fun little service for all netizens
to enjoy. But if things like this continue, I may be forced to
institute password protection on ratings, or otherwise encumber the
submissions process. This would mean more work for me and for every
SOS contributor.
Let's keep this fun for everyone, okay? Please?!?
- Joe

If you're new to the S.O.S., please keep reading. If you're familiar
with the system, you can move along to the next article now.
WHAT IS IT?
The S.O.S. (Spoiler-free Opinion Summary) is a twice-weekly posting
(and a web site) run by yours truly. Its purpose is to provide an
indication of the Net's reaction to new episodes of several
current sci-fi series, namely
* Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
* Star Trek: Voyager
* Sliders
HOW DO I JOIN IN?
Watch a new episode of any of the series covered by the SOS. Then...
* Surf on over to `http://hci.ise.vt.edu/~jreiss/sos/sos.cgi'.
* Enter your first and last name in the form provided there.
* Submit your ratings on a 0 to 10 scale (10 being best) for the
episodes airing that week, or link to additional pages where you
can view/modify your ratings for previous episodes of any of the
SOS series.
...or, if you don't have web access...
* Send an email to `jre...@vt.edu'.
* Include your rating for the episode on a 0 to 10 scale (10 being
best).
* Include your first and last name, especially if it doesn't appear
in the header of your message. Having it in your sig is fine.
* DO NOT include spoilers!
* Try to submit before I make the postings, on Monday and
Thursday evenings. If you don't, that's OK. Any ratings I get
after the second posting will be used to calculate episode
averages and will appear on the web pages, but they will not
appear in any postings.
* You may submit changes to your ratings later. But it'd be a lot
easier for everyone involved if you could use the web interface
instead!
This concludes this installment of the S.O.S. Join us next posting
for more exciting adventures... and keep those opinions coming!
