Thread Name: In the UK......? (thread title change complaint)
Subject: RE: In the UK......? (thread title change complain
Please give some examples where a volunteer changed a thread title that was already at the limit
The volunteers have the ability to change thread titles and are encouraged to do so in certain obvious situations, but I do most thread renaming myself so that we maintain a consistent pattern to aid searching. When a thread title is truncated, I'll often make use of my extra four spaces (or whatever) and complete the missing word(s). The extra spaces are handy, because the allow room for volunteers to fill in missing tags or locations.
I sometimes squeeze in extra space by changing "lyr req" to "req" (or "req/add" when lyrics are submitted) so a more complete song title can appear in the thread title. Harvesting marks and other harvesting and categorizing tags are sometimes added, but most of the volunteers are not involved in that process. I have also experimented with changing "lyr req" to "lyr/chords" or "lyr/tune" when appropriate, rather than having separate threads for lyrics, chords, and tune requests and additions. Common sense, I think.
