A-z games/ rules
Sometimes I wonder what everyone is doing in addition to posting on spanishdict.I guess everyone has their peeves about precision in language.I am just hoping we can focus and follow the alphabet so posts do not have to be closed.
When they go out of order the challenge is lost

if this works????
Now I have to remember where I save it!
Lately I have seen the A-Z threads opened by somebody are not even followed by the owner of the thread at least to see if the order is respected.
I don't think we need a moderator for a one-word thread, but I do think the owner needs to look after their thread!
I closed one thread yesterday, completely out of hand, waiting for the owner to come back and see her moderate it herself. Nizhoni saw this happen, as it seems. so I got an angry note: hey, why did you close my thread and not others?
What am I supposed to do? Watch every single A-Z thread every day just in case the owner of the thread just leaves it to it? ![]()
We did have a thread by Rikko before, if this continues, maybe we have to take more drastic measures.
Lately, however, there seems to be a number of these games where the originator starts it and seems to leave the thread into oblivion. Maybe they are actually watching over their threads, but since they don't make their presence felt, I end up feeling that perhaps their intentions are rather self-serving.
Actually , I thought the person was going to thank me for looking after her thread....wishful thinking![]()
I agree with you Marrianne, but I find that there are times when the post gives me the wrong position of the letter , or by the time I have written it up I am way out of sink , I do not think that it is always done deliberately but that we are some times too fast for the site to correlate the information . Would there be some way that the posts could be shuffled around , or is that too technical , I am still a pen and ink man and am still struggling with this bizzo , but am loving it.
Chronological order is essential in the A-Z games, and like you say, it spoils the fun when people don't follow the rules.
Very good point. I agree.
.
My humble opinion is that we should start teaching people the alphabet and test them from time to time ![]()
Now that Heidi has spoken to those members who abandon their threads, maybe will get more cooperation.
Another thing that drives me crazy is when someone opens a game but puts no rules. I can usually get to those pretty quick and edit them, but some....grrrrrr.
Hmmm, hablo de mi, gracías por la ayuda.
Learning is the ultimate aim of these A-Z games.

Know what? Some of us have too much time on our hands ![]()
Sorry ! playing around with color thingy, no luck so far.
Finally, it's not just Nizhoni who cares about keeping within the rules! Maybe we're all just a bit OCD. ![]()
