Users should be a participant in everything unless they choose not to be, otherwise they will never figure out how to get into the additional areas. -- -------------------------------------------------------------- Listowner tools are found at http://www.phoenyx.net/listowners

I'd say yes, as long as they get instructions explaining the topics and how to get off the optional ones they don't want to see. > Conversely, when a new topic is created, are all users > automatically made a part of it?

It'd be nice as a courtesy if the first message in a new optional topic contained a heads up about what the topic is for, and how to get out of it for those who aren't interested. For game related topics (i.e. party splitting) it's really up to the GM to decide who's in and out. Whatever the default is, there will be some necessary fiddling, so is it easier to add people or remove people? -- -------------------------------------------------------------- Listowner tools are found at http://www.phoenyx.net/listowners

Does this apply to all lists, or just the listowners list? If it's just the listowners list, then yes, if not, leave it up to the listowner. ********************************************************************* * Frank Wallen * 'In Paris they simply stared when * * (mailto:mrdim@excell.net) * I spoke to them in French; I never * * Reft Sector Islands at: * did succeed in making those idiots * * http://www.excell.net/mrdim/ * understand their language.' * * * - Mark Twain * ********************************************************************* -- -------------------------------------------------------------- Listowner tools are found at http://www.phoenyx.net/listowners

I'd say yes, as long as they get instructions explaining the topics and how to get off the optional ones they don't want to see. That is exactly what I was going to say - put down another vote for going down that route.
