The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum - View Single Post - * * Introduction and FAQ's to the Forum and the Rev. Silmarillion Project * *

I have instituted a new system of *'ing whereby those who come in new, can look at all of the posts in the forum at a glance and know which are the essential and active threads and "official project" threads [denoted by **] and which are the inactive but "official project threads" [ i.e. important but can be read later].

A thread w/ no asterix [most of them] indicates that the thread is of a general nature to the project and contains much [ or some info] but is not an official discussion thread tied directly to the current efforts [ Genealogy of the Noldor is a perfect example].

Only moderators or those so designated by the moderators or project leaders should use the asteriks to indicate thread status. PM Aiwendil or meyself if there are any questions re: this, or post your question on the private forum.

I hope to put this up in the FAQ's soon.
