] Date Posted: 11:19:40 09/19/05 Mon MODERATED FORUM It was not my wish to have a moderated forum, i.e., a forum which requires my administrator to personally check each message before it can be posted; however, since the first two messages contained vulgarity which I would not want my mother to read on my forum, it appears to be necessary to regulate or moderate the messages, at least for the time being. The alternative is to have my administrator or a volunteer to check the messages every few minutes and notify one of us of the impropriety of a message. Then we must access the Owner Login and manually remove the inappropriate message. That's simply too much trouble. It is notable that within moments of creating this forum, an Internet Terrorist struck. The first time I accessed the forum, just to see how it appeared, some lowlife had already posted "Who the **** is Florence Warner, and does she g*** g*** h***?" So my first activity was to remove something posted by a cybertrashmouth. Since I have a large number of webpages to administer, monitor and manage, I do not have time to play wet nurse to whiney babies or cyberterrorists. I would like to see this forum succeed, but I do not check every webpage hourly, daily, weekly, or, in some cases, even monthly, so I will make this suggestion. Rather than have to wait to see whether your message will be posted, you may email it to me; I will copy and paste to the forum. I believe that would be quicker. About 150 of you on my personal mailing list, plus a few others who might be interested in Florence Warner, will be notified by email of this forum and of options of how to post. If you are not on my mailing list but wish to post here without waiting for your message to be screened, please contact me by clicking on a Contact Forum Admin link just above or just below this screen, advise me of your online name and email address, plus your interest in this forum. Please insure that your ISP number is a stable one and not one anonymized by design. If you seem safe, I will give you an e~mail address where you can send your message to me. I check email at least once every four hours, even at night, so your message will not be delayed. Please tell me whether you wish your e~mail address displayed to others or whether it should be kept confidential. It is unfortunate that these extra steps are necessary, but I simply wish to take whatever steps needed to keep this forum family-safe. Thanks for using the Florence Warner forum. Thanks for helping make it a viable forum. F.O. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |

Date Posted: 14:34:27 09/19/05 Mon Dear Forum Owner: This afternoon, I was reading the list of available voy forums, and I came across this one. It is apparently new. I don't really know who Florence Warner is, but I have a question about something you wrote: >Since I have a large number of webpages to administer, >monitor and manage, I do not have time to play wet >nurse to whiney babies or cyberterrorists. Next year, I will begin college where I hope to study computer science. I haven't been able to find out anything about how much money a webmaster or administrator who manages a webpage would make in a year. Is it a good living? How many hours a week does it require? How many webpages do you have or manage? Thanks for any information you can give me. Poindexter |

Is it a good living? How many hours a week >does it require? How many webpages do you have or >manage? > >Poindexter =========================================================== Hi, Poindexter, Thanks for coming by and chatting. The amount of money one can make on the internet is unlimited, depending upon your business savvy, ability to work hard, and good luck. Being only a webmaster, however, will not get you rich, unless you are the webmaster of your own business webpage, or unless you have a lot of webpages. You asked how many webpages I managed. Currently, 109. I manage 31 snowbird.net pages, 11 yahoo.com pages, one bravenet page, and 66 0catch.com pages and 667 files. Over the past two years, I have averaged 55 hours a week on these pages. From August through December, I average 80 hours a week. The remainder of the year, January through July, I spend a little less than forty hours a week in the management of the websites. If you are going into Computer Science, I recommend your own company and hire someone to manage your business webpage. Then make a personal webpage to manage for yourself and play on it. Best wishes to you, and visit us anytime. |

Date Posted: 17:23:39 12/15/05 Thu It is my understanding that Voy Forums not will not allow anonymous posting. This doesn't mean you can't use a fake name. It just means you can't use one of the anonymizer services to post here. |
