This should be interesting...kudos for whoever set this up because back when I first started I wanted something like this...but as usual no one had followed through or had given up rather quickly...

...Hopefully this would last to the end with atleast 50% of the guys, that would be great to see there progress...

I totally hear that, Snow Plowman -- honestly one of the best parts of this will be an increase in the quality of the forum overall, if even a quarter of the people that signed up follow through, then we could potentially get 7 or 8 new posters that give solid field-tested advice. That would be fantastic.

I'm committed to this thing :)

I'm all ready fired up to do my first week's exercises, I'll probably exceed them :)

I'd just like to remind everyone that you have to post your reports until tomorrow night. So wednesday, 11:59pm, californien time is the latest date or should be for you. I am going to create the new week thread on thrusday as soon as I get out of school (about 4 pm, german time). I am only moving people there who confirmed in the old threads that they did the exercises.

What should be in your report?
Mark it clearly as a report, because I don't want to search the whole thread! If you already talked about yur progress in other posts you don't have to repost. I just want to know if I have to move you or not (and reward group points or not ;) ). Your report can be postet as soon as you are done with your homework, so if you for example do 10 conversations with strangers on thursday you can post then already. I have a list of all people on my computer, so I'll mark it down there.


Example for you:


Week Report:

Done with all the exercises :)
or
I need more time :(

optional:
[bla bla bla, was like this and bla bla]

Hey guys,

got a two pretty angry posts from Heart Break Kid about not having seen some people finishing and moving them. I can only say this once again:

IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE SURE I GOT YOU. I am not going to read every ein page post in every group and then try to figure out if you are done, especially if you did conversations even though the exercise was to say Hi to people.

CLEARLY MARK YOUR REPORTS SO THAT I CAN ACTUALLY JUST SCAN THROUGH THE PAGES WITHOUT READING EVERY POST AND MARK YOU DOWN.

I have a life too.
I am doing the BC too.
I have no time for asking everyone if he's done.

And if I didn't mvoe some of you, then just tell me and don't send me a message telling me what a dork I am and that this has to stop blabla and I am discouraging everyone etc...

...

Hey, Al Moh. Did it come off as angry? If so I apologise and am slightly confused as to why. I'd also like to clarify I most certainly did not call you any names ! I had some complaints on AIM from some others about it but the post was just asking if it was okay to add those who were missed.

Anyway mine are right here, much before thursday and quite clear:

http://www.sosuave.net/forum/showpost.php?p=1418729&postcount=25
http://www.sosuave.net/forum/showpost.php?p=1419043&postcount=27

My other post just asked if two others posted more clearly they finished if you would accept them.

I hope you are not offended by anything. I merely suggested an end of the week talley or some other counters if it continued as a way to help everyone out. One of the newer posters was alarmed he was not on the list.

The reason you were contacted however is you manage the points and I thought it was more polite than just changing the numbers (which I have left.)

Anyhow I hope this clears everything up. Plaese do not percieve anything I post as angry.

Ty for your reply. We miss communicated then. Still I'd like to ask everyone to do some kind of clearly marked post at each end of the week. And you can edit the points, I will complain to you if something isn't right from my point of view ;)

Hey Al Moh. I am glad we sorted that out ! And since I realize from moderating how hard it is to pick out replies from multiple 50+ post threads; blue will have a list of who is done at the end of each week in an effort to make it a little less time consuming.

Thanks again. =)

Can I suggest that perhaps everyone should put:
Week *Whichever week it is* End Report
or something similar in the title of your post. 'Clearly marked' isn't exactly very clear :p, and titles are very easy to scan through.
