Hello Everyone,
During our birthday celebration Sherykah suggested a "Spoken Word" Forum where we could upload sound files of us speaking our peaces! I think it's a great idea but there are going to be strict rules here. I've listed them below, let me know if you think they're too tough and/or you see other issues we should consider.
1. Our same banned words apply in all uploaded files. If we (the Moderators or a Family Member) find a file that has included any of those words, the file will be deleted and the Member will not be able to upload sound files again. Moderators aren't paid for their contribution to this forum and I refuse to have them babysitting grown folk. Upload banned words and you'll upload no more sound files.
2. I'm thinking there will be a minimum number of posts required before you can upload a sound file. Something like 100 posts (which most of us have exceeded anyway). This allows for us to determine that a Member does understand the general house rules and intend on abiding by them.
3. I'm thinking that there will be a minimum of one file per week, per Member. Not really sure about this one, just thinking. Sound files are "heavy" and require considerable more bandwidth (cost) and I may need to try to keep this under control.
It will be a few weeks before this is fully implemented because there is some backend work required to make it functional. I personally think it's a wonderful idea and thank Sherykah for bringing it to the table.
Let me know what yall think about the above and the entire notion of being able to hear each other speak their flow!
