spamming

[j500ss]

I have a question.  Why is it I see quite a few screen shots here where text is max size?  I'm serious.  Last thing I want to look at is a bunch of, mostly useless info covering my screen. I figure if someone needs to get my attention that badly, they will say something on range.  Just curious in the logic of doing that I guess.

It should be noted the "spamming" helped get a 150+ turnout.  Pretty dang good for a Snapshot.

Max size? You mean the text buffer enlarged past the 3-line standard? Many people toggle that back and forth to read things in the past...

Yes, that turnout was great for the cameraman I.E me. So lay off it guys, they are just letting people know in no doubt whats happening where and when.

Good for the guys who get involved with these things, for those that don't just a few of these messages would have been enough. The screenshot BJ posted was just one time these messages appeared multiple times throughout the evening, the odd one liner wouldn't be bad but each time it was a similar fashion.

The Announcement channel is not meant to be spammed, if it was announced more than 2 times, I will have a discussions so all CM's are aware.

Dale, in all honesty and fairness, I've seen many announcements at 5 minute intervals.   It does become excessive at times.

Only fools laugh at their own "jokes".   BTW, how's the P-38 reading going?

You need more than two announcements.

Players are busy, just loging in, not paying attention, etc, etc.

Looks like 68Hawk was announcing like before the CM's had the "everybody" channel.

One announcement at 30, 15, 10, and 5min is more than reasonable, so 4 as opposed to 2.

With only two you will have many players miss 'em and not fly the Special Event that they might have had they caught it.

(my worthless 2 cents)
