Yo Klainey ... I was gonna pm you this but I figured it was easir just to write it out here while I'm around ... Don't write about spoilers think of this from a newbs perspective ... they want to know how to present their recording and probably have no idea what "spoiler tags" are so do something like actual instructions and just incorporate your spoiler tag blah blah blah


For Example ...


Electronic Voice Phenomena {EVP} are frequently difficult to discern requiring amplification or other enhancements to make intelligible, So unless you are presenting a Class A EVP, which requires no enhancements of any kind to easily understand, either Do NOT post what you think is being said OR preferably use spoiler tags.

Spoiler tags are BBC tags that hide anything between them until a reader chooses to click on it. This provides everyone the opportunity to make an unbiased assessment of the material being presented.

People responding to an EVP post should likewise put what they believe is being said in spoiler tags so as not to bias others atleast until a consensus has been reached.

{Insert Klainies How to Spoil Tags diy}

Klainey now add other important carp for EVPresentations { <= new terminology by siguie shortstrider all rights reserved } like type of device that recorded the thang, time of day other peoples present, other equipment, location etc.

Also good places to post recordings since that is often a problem for newbs.


Throw in a final warning about Annalysa being a harsh mistress into whips, chains and hurt feelings and they should start off a post with "NO Analysis" pleading if they are not into the kinky hard stuff


After that Lock the post iffen you don't want anyone replying then Pin it so it stays at the top of the subforum index.


By the way this forum is titled "EVP – Electronic Voice Phenomenon ( Brand New )" it should prolly oughta be PhenomenA ... which for the other hemispherically engrish challenged ... phemomena is the plural of phemomenon ... just sayin.


Oh and feel free to use none, some or ALL that I wrote here, then delete the post. Also no siguie brand attributions I have standards to uphold ... admittedly very low standards but they are mine

Good start Now MOVE that Audacity nonsense to the bottom and go through something like a bullet point or numerical list procedure ...

• If you are posting an EVP recording first post an original with NO enhancements {additional enhanced recordings are fine}
  
  
• If you believe you know what is being said put that text between SPOILER tags {explained in detail below}
  
  
• EVERYONE should post what they believe is being said between spoiler tags!
  
  
• other stuff ...

Next Do NOT use phrases like "consider using" go with "please use" DO NOT give people a sense of choice they will do as you say or else

Ooooh yeah ya see that's why people who actually do EVPs should be swarming this post ... the better the instructions are the less annoying the newb EVPs will be

TL;DR means Too Lazy; Didn't Read ... aka put the important stuff at the top, and make it short. Do all of the explanations later 'cuz most people wont read it anyways

I would add your other carp back and or actually explain that the tags are just the word "spoiler" in square brackets with the end tag having a slash / BUT many people will prefer the drop down menu

Now add a divider with words like "Useful Links" or other helpful carp

Then change "Audible" to "Audio" and you can start working on your next task

Oh and what no warning about Annalysa you will displease her

[siguie]

Yes, short and simple for the key points and actual instructions However, some people are new to forum life and will have no clue what tags and BBC stuff is  heck some long term member ... apparently even admins and mods had no clue there were spoiler tags here ... srsly what's up with that

People who know what spoiler tags are will just ignore the explanation which is fine AND why you put it towards the end

Yeah k ... change "{so as not to bias others reading the post}" to "{so as not to bias others reading the thread}"

Do Aussies really talk like this? "You can write what you hear here and it be hidden ..." most places with higher edjumication would say sumthin likes "... it will be hidden..." but I tries not to judge others with vastly inferior engrish skillz.


"The above is a "Spoiler Tag". It shows or hides text!" Actually NO the above ... ya noes over there ... is a "spoiler" it's what the tags do.


How about sumthin likes ...

Spoiler Tags

The tags themselves are just the word "spoiler" placed in square brackets with a slash "/" in the end tag. All together it looks something like this.



The easiest thing to do is just type them out and put your text in between but you can also use the drop down menus and here's how in eXcruciating detail ...

Yeah and yer gonna wanna lose "OR...If you are a die hard coder write up your own spoiler tag   " ... that doesn't mean what you think it means ... Srsly look up xml coding ... baby steps



Honestly what you have now is good enough for government werk so I say ship it
