The Correct Way To Spam Yourself
- <maestrojed> lots of sites have a "email this to a friend feature" I need to implement this. I am worries bots will just fire this off to tons of random address. I will use re-captcha. Is there anything else I should consider?
- <rhelic> yea, don't waste your time with such a dumb spammy feature
- <rhelic> I don't want to know what sites my friends think are "peachy keen"
- <rhelic> also, it's 2011, not 1997, fuck email, add a FB like button
- <maestrojed> rhelic I miswrote. Its "Send me these results" more then "send to a friend' but the principle is the same. You can put in any email address.
- <rhelic> then somebody can LIKE your site, and it shows up in the FB page
- <rhelic> which is the correct way to spam yourself
Great infographic on some of the numbers relating to the open questions in the software startup sphere these days. Are we in a second tech bubble? What do you think?

Sir Ken Robinson - Hammer Lectures
Many of you asked for more from Sir Ken Robinson and his thoughts regarding education and multiple intelligences. I've been following hist lectures for quite some time, and here's one of the better single-view segments, presented at UCLA in 2009.

The timing of which these types of things are discovered in our lives is absolutely incredible. Unbelievable, isn't it?

OK Go's latest music video. I'm ecstatic how much this band has taken up the banner for the modern data revolution. Oh, and did I mention that they kick ass?

How To Behave On An Internet Forum
So, entirely not in light of any recent events, I was integrating the chat rules that Vexar wrote into RolePlayGateway's Rules, and I was looking for some examples of forum etiquette that other forums use. In searching, I found this perfectly humorous video:
(I found it on Neil Boortz's website, but since headed over to videojug to get the original. PS, Neil? You're awesome.)
That was probably the best one I found, above and beyond the video I came across that seemed geared towards the Steam forum community, which was a bit too NSFW to actually embed here on my blog. If you'd like, you can go check out posting a new thread on AlbinoBlackSheep.
I'm admin on several online forums, and I'm a moderator on many more; not counting the countless other communities where I'm an active member. I was pretty proud of the rules I put together on Gateway, and I think they're clean, simple, and easy to follow. No one likes being bombarded and tacked down by rules, so I try to keep them as simple as possible. What do you think of them?
How do you manage forum users and set rules? I know Martin Reed has some good tips on forum rules, and there are many others out there that learned a lot from running forums. The best thing that we can do is learn from others, and gather experience on how to handle these issues. What is your approach to forum etiquette?
