Nice!
1. Explicit is fine. We are adults.
2. No theme music.
3. Weekly.
4. Rene's Bill Clinton hair.
Derek, why aren't you on this?!?!
Hopefully, because he's busy working on the Precentral podcast.
1. Explicit doesn't seem professional to me, so go clean.
2. No theme music.
3 Bi-weekly seems fine.
4. Anthropomorphized flagship phones from each OS.
Derek, can you confirm will the precentral pod cast continue or will the mobile nations be the only pod cast?
The PalmCast will continue, we've just been having trouble getting the gang on the same schedule to do it.
Bi-weekly is perfect for this. When its done though, every effort should be made to have all the editors in attendance. The news doesn't have to be about everyone but it would definitely be nice to hear the perspective of everyone. There should not be a time limit. News is news and y'all should not have to limit news..especially if there is news for all of the OS. Maybe even once a month do a live podcast.
Please go clean. I stopped listening to another sites podcast because they weren't. Very unprofessional.
Surely this won't replace the Precentral podcast!
1. Clean please. Many of us have young kids within earshot.
2. No theme music.
3. Bi-Weekly.
1. Explicit - We are mostly adults, and I for one, know TONS of kids who swear on a more constant basis than I do. I don't condone it, but hey, **** happens :P
2. A brief theme song would be ok, maybe get someone to make a mashup of all the themes, since all are being represented here.
3. Weekly is preferred, since it gives everything time to accumulate, and doesn't leave you guys slammed with too much info in case its a busy week and the podcast is shortened.
4. Derek should use his photoshop skills to create an abomination of all the mascots into a frankenstein logo, but also keeping it classy, which I KNOW Derek can do.
Clean is fine, and it can still have adult humor. But I would rather it be weekly.
So this basically is about doing what you ban people for in the Precentral forums? But i remember this flawed "poll" that says otherwise and is largely responsible for all the new rules at precentral.
In the forums, it's "debating" and not allowed (sort of..depends on who you are). On a podcast or frontpage, its "roundtable action"
Perhaps Derek could chime in on why its ok for him to be critical in podcasts but turn around and ban longtime treocentral/precentral users for having similar thoughts?
As for the talk, keep it clean.
Exactly. The forums are for cheerleading, because the moderators want to prevent users from reading too much that might make them think critically.
Apparently, they need protection because their brains can't handle contradicting but TRUE information, as an adult's can.
But the experts of SPE can engage in these debates.
I wonder if the PreCentral patrons need a signed permission slip from their mother, i mean moderator, to listen?
1 How about generally clean, unless it's really funny.
2 Theme music? Yes! (as long as it is short)
3 Bi-weekly seems right
4 All the flagship phones from each OS sitting at a roundtable, or maybe in a deathmatch pit...
