Hi group,
I thought it might be a good idea to come up with
a tagging system for off-topic posts, Borland style.
So instead of the 'generic'
[OT]Soundcard crashed under VC6.0
we would have
[e4017]Soundcard crashed under VC6.0
where e6017 means something like
e - error, totally off-topic
60 - Microsoft VC6.0
1 -soundcard
7 - crashed
For less serious off-topicity there might be a 'w'
category:
[w1083]
read as:
w - warning
10 - self-appointed moderator,
8 - stating only that this is off-topic
3 - unnecessary rude or harsh tone
This category is necessary because I consider an
enumeration of all thing that C++ is *not*, ie Java,
pinacle, cupcake... off-topic by itself.
With this list of error- and warning messages, in the
FAQ presumably, scanning news will be easier and
faster. Also, it would make for some nice statistics
after some time (not counting the leap seconds).
This post itself could well land in the e0000 category,
general off-topic ;-)

Shouldn't it be [e6017] by the nomenclature you suggest :-)?
Wonder where I categorise my post ?

No, that would legitimise off-topic posts. Off-topic posts
do not have their place here, tagged or not.

You are of course entitled to your opinion, but, alas, you're
incorrect. An explanation to a visitor (who may be lost) that
he or she is off-topic and _why_ is never off-topic.
Also, there are no moderators here (contrary to what you might
want to believe). Everybody is allowed to post. What they
post may or may not qualify as off-topic, that's for the rest
of the community to decide (based on their understanding and
commonly accepted practices). Look at your own post, you're
expressing your opinion on what is and what isn't off-topic.
Does that make _you_ a self-appointed moderator?

I'd rather put it into troll666 category, malicious trolling.
Tread lightly now.

Haven't been around newsgroups much in the last couple of years much? It's
now very few and far between that posters have legitimate email addresses
listed, thus Reply to Sender is useless. Generally they've been anti-spam
mangled. Plus, by educating one off-topic poster, the reply becomes
educational to other readers as well.

Andre, don't feed trolls. They belong in killfiles. Do not
give anybody a reason to put your address next to his there.

Please see the "[1]" link in the message of mine referenced below.
"That would be consistent with the viewpoint that it's appropriate to put
the burden of avoiding spam on people who want to send mail to you,
rather than having to deal with it yourself. I'm with Quinn: people who
deliberately make it difficult for me to send them mail will not receive
mail from me."

Hello,
I'm busy with a large application and feel it would eas my work if I
can specify dependencies on the granularity of packages, rather than
modules and classes. Eg:
- By convention I do the one class per file thing. SO in python this
means one class per module - naming classes after their modules. (this
helps with version control, and several other little irritations, for
example)
