Hi Nereid!
I think you need to work your magic again. Wouldn't it be nice it the APOD being discussed were mentioned in the topic. It gets a little confusing at times trying to discuss [Today's APOD]. Thanks again for keeping The asterisk neat and orderly :)

Is there any spam, as single posts, in otherwise 'legit' threads, in any section?


If you find any, would you please reply to this HELP WANTED, by posting a link (and, in the case of spam posts, approx where in the thread the spam is).

Are there threads in the Discuss an APOD section which really belong here, in the Café?

If you find any, would you please reply to this HELP WANTED, by posting a link. Probably makes sense to go back no further than the most recent three pages in that section ...
Some threads that were moved are starting to spill over into page 2 of the APOD section.

bystander, I cant merge topics in cafe, plus there is no requirement to do so.

Makc;
[spills over] I meant that some of the items that were moved were over on the 2'nd page of the asterisk quorum. Nereid usually deletes these after they are a month old. They have been deleted already though; so it has been already taken care of.

I think the California and Comet Holmes posts in APOD's Asterisk quarum can be merged.

Some avalanche posts to merge. Wouldnt it be nice if the APOD date were posted on the subject line? Maybe we need a required aera on the subject line.

Hi Nereid! I see there are two March 18 posts and two on Cat's Eye posts. I thought you may want to merge them.

Hi Nereid; I really hate to be the only one to remind you; but things are getting cluttered. Mrs Stickney and APOD for April 10 are about Stickney Crater. There are 4 for April 6 counting the post on nuclear fusion; and there are two for April 7. There is also a for sale post. :evil: I may have even missed some. :roll:

This is an ongoing problem! Members need to post the APOD of the day and date on the subject line instead of making up a subject line when posting a new thread. Also it would help if they checked to see if a thread was already started. Then adding to that thread instead of starting a duplicate. :?

Maybe the Mods could set-up a daily post with the image linked to it and all appropriate postings should fall in it :idea:
Might even create a direct link to the Asterisk through the APOD page to the daily discussion topic

I think all of this has been argued before. Since Asterisk and APOD are seperate entities, collusion is unlikely even if desirable.
