Header Guidelines

[khromat]

Okay, as a way to help everyone (and perhaps encourage more postings),
I'm instituting the following Header Guidelines:

[CON] should be prepended to posts regarding conventions, information
about, reports on, discussions about, etc.

[REVIEW] should be prepended to posts when giving an analysis of
something -- cons reports can be this, too, but this is more
specifically doing critical analysis on the subject. More likely, books,
movies, comics, plays, and so forth would be reported on here.

[RANT] I dunno about you, but when I'm all hot and bothered, I like to
at least warn my audience before I spit vitrol... so, if it's time to
open up that closet or unleash a little steam, by prepending this to a
post means anyone doesn't want to hear it can ignore it... or respond to
it in the appropriate vein. I'm including any furdom politics, religion,
mundane bashing, whatever. I will also guarantee that even if nobody
else reads RANT posts, I do. Not because I'm moderator, but because I
feel it's useful to know how people are thinking, even if I think they
may be misguided or even childish. Everyone has a right to express their
opinions.

I shall try to remember them. Since you referred to them as guidelines,
I assume if we use other tags that communicate useful info it will be
all right?

Oh, certainly! My point is by having little keyword in brackets before a
subject line, it's easier to group things...

Also, I'd like folks to _change_ the subject lines instead of the
constant re: stuff that ends up talking about stuff unrelated to the
header. It blows the point of reading headers! :/
