User talk:Phantazm
Hello and welcome to AboutUs. You are tackling a big issue on the internet and one that is an issue here at AboutUs. I am very interested in working with you to see how this wiki could help coordinate information on this subject. Look forward to more! Best, MarkDilley
Thanx for the welcome. I'll be back in the new year... regards, Phantazm
We need to figure out a good way to add information about sites that spam to AboutUs. I will start this page, How to add information to AboutUs about sites that spam and we can continue the discussion there. Best, MarkDilley
Good idea! I tried to find a page dealing with spam, but no luck :(
I assume AboutUs has a spam policy, but perhaps it's called something else? (Or buried to deep?)
regards, Phantazm (living in Copenhagen)
Hello, you and I are creating a spam related page entitled How to add information to AboutUs about sites that spam. Currently we at AboutUs have the philosophy of contributions need to be 1) Constructive 2) good for the reader. So, as is wiki, this is a work in progress. Best, MarkDilley
Hi, what I am trying to convey is that we, you and I and others are making the AboutUs spam policy. ;-) Best, MarkDilley

Storyteller's Bazaar
Hello Phantazm,
Have you paid a visit to TheStorytellersBazaar yet? If not, please do. It's jam packed with all sorts of writing activities. Read some of the contributions and hopefully they will inspire you to contribute too. The more you contribute the better the site will become. Come and have a look and enjoy. Tanwir Shah
WhoWeAre
Hi,
I would just like to tell you about the WhoWeAre consensus poll. This is a unique opportunity for all community members to discuss and decide what AboutUs is and more importantly what role we, the community, plays.
The discussion is still in its initial stages and there are a handful of people involved in this discussion. But it's not enough. Every one of us has a stake in this process. We all need to air our views. Our opinions will make a difference. We cannot and must not let a handful of people define us. We must speak out and contribute because we are being defined and I for one would like to have a say in how I am being defined.
Please contribute to this really important project. Without you it cannot successfully create a good definition of who we are. Tanwir Shah
AnnualCommunityReview
Hi, would like to invite you to participate in some conference calls we are having. I think it would be great if you would like to participate, especially interested in your perspective as a spam fighter! :-) Best, MarkDilley
NewSkin Beta Preview
Hello Phantazm!
We've noticed your contributions and are glad to be on the AboutUs team with you! As an ActiveMember your energy and ideas determine our future direction. One way that ActiveMembers stay "in the loop" is to participate in the beta previews of large new changes to the site before they are generally released.
Today we're starting a limited beta preview of an earthy NewSkin intended to reflect the alive and growing AboutUs community. The NewSkin is designed to feel wholesome and connected with the real world. This choice was made to reassure the many folks who feel that the internet is a "scary place" where mean people hide behind fake identities and shout insults at each other. We hope that the NewSkin evokes our values in a way that helps visitors and members alike feel grounded in true community.
We'd love your help putting the NewSkin through its paces! To give it a whirl you'll need to be logged in. Once you are logged in, go to "my preferences" | "skin" and select "design". Don't forget to then click the "save" button! You can always go back to the current skin by selecting "aboutus" via the same steps.
Your feedback on the new look for aboutus will help ensure that it has a maximally positive impact when we roll it out. Thanks for being a valuable member of the community, we look forward to your feedback on the NewSkin page!
Warm Regards,
the DevelopmentTeam
