Subject: LF: An "LF-reflector" Yahoo
group instead .....PLEASE
With the latest outage (5 days already) may I again suggest
that the LF-reflector migrates to a Yahoo group?
In over 10 years I
have rarely had delays in messages, outages, or problems with any group to
which I belong or moderate.
Instead they have had these advantages:
- Messages can be read on the web if preferred (saves cluttered
in-boxes)
- There is rarely a delay of more than a few minutes before messages are
received.
- All messages are archived and searchable.
- Large files can be stored.
- Photos can be stored - 100Gigs worth.
- Links can be stored/shared
- Videos can be stored.
- Polls can be run.
- Messages can be vetted if preferred (by a number of moderators to speed
up the process)
- Difficult members can be banned in exceptional circumstances.
- Spam messages can be filtered
- Calendars can be set up (for sked times, news of tests etc)
The
advantages go ON and ON and, frankly, I simply cannot understand why the
change hasn't made years ago. With the problems this week it is surely
time.
To set up a new Yahoo group called "LF-reflector" (or whatever)
would take about 30 seconds and migration to it by all interested members here
would take about a day at most. All you need is to agree a group name, who
owns it, who can moderate posts and some basic group ground
rules/FAQs.
Please, think about it again.
