I was under the impression that this was a website for poorly thought out ideas. "We don nee no steenking Volunteeer tags!" |
|
|
Shouldn't that be ...
"We don't need no steeenkin Pledges!" |
|
|
Probably better if you adopt the oolongftanftangbank scheme method for this. |
|
|
I feel so daft. What does that mean??? Please let
me in on the halfbakeryism. Please. |
|

//oolongftan...//What does that mean???// It is/was a quite silly idea wherin people who type a specific string of characters on their profile allow other (or even the same) people to run a specific search in order to find them. |

I'm not sure it's a good idea to merge two separate sets of people under a single silly word. It may be the case that the set of people who self-identify as oolongftan...bankian might not fully coincide with those who are interested in volunteering to accomplish actual real-world things. |

great now when I search oolongft... string this idea keeps popping up! Wer gonna need a nu ooolongft...timmy. |

It's ok, [zeno] left out the first 'g' (on purpose I presume) but yes, it's preferable to only refer to it in a shortened form outside of its intended usage - "Oolong-etc", or "that Oolong thing" both work quite well. |
|
|
If I wanted to work on somebody's idea, I'd make an anno to that effect and start a conversation with the poster if he/she is around and/or other members; at least to find out if there's a "catch" to the idea. |
|
|
And if I did try to bake an idea (for more than personal usage), I'd definitely contact the originator to see if he/she wanted some kind of credit, though frankly that would just be a courtesy. |
|
|
Other than that, the whole idea (adopting an official tag) is contrary to the general working of the HB IMnsHO. |
