      <description><![CDATA[First of all, welcome!<br><br>We'd like to know something about you. Please <a rel="nofollow" href="http://audiochews.com/index.php?p=/discussion/5/please-introduce-yourself">say hello</a>.<br><br>The rules here are quite simple, but you should <a rel="nofollow" href="http://audiochews.com/index.php?p=/discussion/7/rules-of-this-community">read them</a>.<div><br></div><div>As a member, you will receive our weekly e-mail update, Chews News. I try update the database every week, but sometimes I'm too busy, so it may be a week or so before you start receiving it. If you don't want to receive Chews News at any time, you can unsubscribe by clicking on the link at the end of any issue.<br><br>Audio Chews is hosted using software called Vanilla. It has many advantages over older community/forum applications, but works a bit differently sometimes. We have a post <a rel="nofollow" href="http://audiochews.com/index.php?p=/discussion/461/how-to-things-may-work-a-little-differently-here">here</a>.<br><br>You can also watch <a rel="nofollow" href="http://audiochews.com/index.php?p=/discussion/864/using-audio-chews#Item_1">these videos</a>.<br><br>Finally, some members have asked for a guide to posting pictures. <a rel="nofollow" href="/index.php?p=/profile/Alan">@Alan</a> kindly put together <a rel="nofollow" href="http://audiochews.com/index.php?p=/discussion/725/posting-pictures-on-chews">this thread</a>.<br><br>If you have any questions, please <a rel="nofollow" href="http://audiochews.com/index.php?p=/categories/requests-and-comments">give us a shout</a>.<br></div>]]></description>

      <title>Moderation: why it is the way it is</title>

      <description><![CDATA[<blockquote><div>With regard to moderation, there seems to be a fine line between snarky/bitchy (which is cheap, but stays within the bounds of free speech), forthright / 'spade a spade' / doesn't tolerate fools gladly (considered positive, but usually a pain the neck) and defamatory, which - legally - is out of order. If the legal system can't always make the distinction, it's no wonder different forums have different rules. Good luck with that, mods!<br></div></blockquote><br><br>We accept that it's difficult and, without taking a swipe at other places in the Interwebs, there are plenty of examples of failures.<div><br></div><div>We're just having a go in our own way. It may or may not work in the long term. And, if people don't like what we're trying to do, they will vote with their feet - or vice versa.</div><div><br></div>]]></description>
