I would like to comment about this , I understand the rules yet I don't believe that a phrase or couple or words comment is CHATTING. In fact I had to add something yesterday so that my fer would hopefully be honored. I could not get on the internet to post yet I called thrift-line to make xfer.
I Love this web site as do many others and the meeting of the minds is good for all of us, please don't restrict a couple of words in the bank acct section.Think of it as like we saying hello to the teller and telling her why we love their bank or why we want out. This all be done with a phrase or a couple of words. Not everyone wants to chat in the chat portion,yet a word or two when we make a move could let others understand why.
I looked at the Wiz of Oz the other day and he put reason falling dollar thats it and it was deleted .I really don't believe that the Wiz was wrong for doing it , In fact I thought it was great .
I hope you will allow them in the future, a couple of words is not chatting.
Please don't restrict the wonderful web site that you have created, knowledge is power and we all need a little more knowledge however we may receive it !!

Tom did not edit your account entry. I did that as the TSPTalk Tracker. I use the term "chat" to describe any extra comments made not related to making fund your allocation changes. Comments on market conditions belong in your "account talk" thread, not your "account" thread. The tracking job is volunteer work. Adding words to your account entry means I must read them and this adds time to the job of tracking all members’ returns.

Only post allocation changes made by IFT in your account, unless it’s been a few months since your last entry. Please read the account posting rules in sticky notes at top of Members' Accounts (no chat) forum.

I will continue to edit any comments from entry’s in your account that do relate to the IFT. Please be kind to me and only enter simple IFTs as example: 25% G, 15 %, 30% C, 20% S, 10% I.

Sir it does say "There should be little to no discussions here " with all due respect to you and all you do for the web site . Does not little mean a word or two or phrase thats not chat. Please don't be offended I just think what ever knowledge that can be shared is a good thing . Thats why I bring this up for discussion here so that MAYBE that will be tolerated to that extent.
Thxs for your response

draggen3,

I think EWguy made it quite clear.

In this case, "little" means "none".

If you have knowledge to share, use your talk thread as requested. This seems works well for everyone else, so play nice.

Please respect the efforts of those providing the service. Or don't, and continue to be edited.

"There should be little to no discussions here "...a word or two or phrase thats not chat...knowledge that can be shared is a good thing

I would venture beyond that. "Chat" to me infers more than one person. I agree that short comments to help everyone understand your moves should be allowed, but if it takes more than a sentence or invites comments or replies then it belongs in the "Talk" section. In any case, save moderators or someone catching a mistake like:

"Please be kind to me and only enter simple IFTs as example: 25% G, 15 %, 30% C, 20% S, 10% I."
Did you mean 15% F?

no one else should post in someone's Account section.

If a post, even just the numbers, invites discussion, move it to the "Talk" thread.

Those few words may encourage others to post replies. I understand what you are saying. However, if EW would rather any extra words not be there, I'm all for doing it the way he wants. Having done the job myself before, I have nothing but gratitude and respect for what he's doing. It would be nice if folks took a few extra seconds and posted extra stuff in the chat section. Those few extra seconds are minor compared to the hours he is spending compiling the tracker. JMHO.

YES, Please post why (the reason) for a move!
Dats why U have a "Talk" thread.
We also have a bucket full of yak threads!

The Account thread is just for IFTs (no chat).
EW is retired (ret) and has ulledles of folks he has to count for the on the Tracker.
Retired folks are allowed to sleep late, wear pajama's all day, and do wierd things...:D

I agree. But "little to no" should be clarified somewhere.

And whatever happened to the website updates that were being discussed a few months ago. Some mention of automating some of this was made. If some guru could figure out how to automate the process, I think most people on this site wouldn't mind submitting their entries in a standardized manner, such as comma delineated: 90, 0, 0, 0, 10.

Thats where I digress back to LITTLE or no talk, evidently TSP tom knew there would be little talk but not discussion otherwise I believe he would have said no talk . Please dont think of this comments as a attack or me try to **** someone off. I just thought it should be addressed so that we may all benefit. Telling me to shut up and color does nothing for making it better so ALL may benefit.
Some people and Im one of them dont like to talk more than one or two words on there acct because it is all speculation, no one like to be wrong.Thus,the one or two comments or phrase is not a bad thing. How about asking everyone to post xfers in BOLD all CAPS then easier to pick out without reading all comments.

I really think there should be a standard format for posting your IFTs, the simpler the better! The date is on the post, no date needed! We know the IFT will be at close of business that day, don't need to remind the tracker. If after the deadline it's effective COB the next day. JUST your new allocations! 50% "C", 50% "S"

See your point,

We like to discuss these issues!

Some of us could keep it down to a short sentence why a move was made. But, we also have folks that like to talk a lot. So they would add several paragraphs, a couple of links and at least one chart......:D

Word, symbols, or comments in a member's “account” thread prior to stating the IFT allocation is distracting from my point of view as the Tracker. I spend time reading through words to dig out the transfer allocation. A one line comment below the IFT is not too distracting. Some members make comments to their account because it’s easier, more convenient, than opening the "account talk" to make their comments.

I actually agree and that is what I originally had in mind. My thought was that someone could write something like this...

The dollar should drop tomorrow so I am going to move to the I fund.

100&#37; I fund.
But we have seen that this type of comment stimulates reponses and that is why we went to "no chat". In a perfect world I'd like to see a short explanation followed by a very visible allocation. But because it became more difficult to follow, we created the "Account Talk" threads.

Since EWGuy is in charge of the tracker, I respect his request to keep it as clean as possible. Otherwise it becomes more time consuming and we'll be back to discussing a small fee for the tracking to compensate his time, which no one really wants.

Thanks,
Tom

When reading IFT allocations, I read top to bottom, so the relevent IFT should be first, then two blank lines. then any comment. Many members show their signature in account posts, so a signature could be interpreted as a violation of no chat.

IFT allocation COB 3/23
30&#37; G, 30% C, 20% S, 20% I


One to two line comment in quotes.
This bull has horns.

I would like to comment about this , I understand the rules yet I don't believe that a phrase or couple or words comment is CHATTING.
I have thought of an idea that might be a good compromise.

Since EWGuy is now spending 10 hours plus a week on the tracker, we want to do everything we can to make it easier on him. So if that means no chatting or comments in the Account threads, then I will abide.

What we can do is add a link in our signatures to our Account Talk threads. The signature might say something like:

"See my comments in my Account Talk thread"

... and it can have a link to that thread where you may have made some comments.

To add or update your signature, use the userCP link along the top menu. There is an option in there to edit your signature. Copy and paste the link to your page in the signature.

Like here is a link to where I post my moves. I added that link to my signature. http://www.tsptalk.com/mb/forumdisplay.php?f=18

Type in the text, highlight it, then click on the insert link icon

http://www.tsptalk.com/images/hyperlink.gif ... and put the link in the box that pops up.

Take a look at my sigature line below. If you have any comments to make, put them in your account talk and that link will take people right there.

Will this work?

Only weakness I see in your routine is that you don't have a cuppa coffee while you are doing this. Can't make a decision without a cuppa coffee.

from another thread:Georgia girl

"A simple request from the guy that is spending a considerable amount of his own time doing us a service for FREE! Absolutely no flaming! We have huge buckets of water just waiting to be used. He is the Moderator of that thread and it is a simple request to make it easier and quicker for him to track everyone. If you continue, we can lock your thread and drop you off of the track. It's up to you."

Im going to post as georgia girl suggested with a line the a mini comment .
If you bann me so be it !!

I like the web site and the creator has said that NO WORDS was not the intention. I have offered to help if need be though no takers . Thats fine , yet I find it hard to believe that a couple of words about a account is slowing this person (ew guy down). He has the time to delete comments, must have plenty of time .
It just ironic that this is to help all understand what someone else is doing , so that others may make a informed decision. Because not all have a chat cloumn. Im dumbfound at how this couple of words placed at the bottom of a page can throw you off and slow you down.
Why not set up a area for informing all participants how to post so as not to hinder the person tracking them, that I think all could understand .

I can arrange that draggen3. Please abide by the rules on posting to your account. Follow Tom's suggestion on adding a link to your account talk in your signature. You previously stated you would abide by what Tom said, now abide. I guess I will have to get members attention. For those not following the rules, I will issue one warning, and if it continues the account will be closed.

Wow Mr EW guy you sure do have a bunch of time!!!!
See I dont get it you have the time to slam me but your to busy to read through a couple of words,come on man is not that an oxymoron!!
(((Look TSP TOM wrote "

I actually agree and that is what I originally had in mind. My thought was that someone could write something like this...

Quote:
The dollar should drop tomorrow so I am going to move to the I fund.

100&#37; Blank fund. " except he wrote I fund)))

Does that mean anything to you , or its your way or highway?
Are you so into this that nothing and no one can make you change your mind ?
Man if thats the case then its not worth my time to give my opinion everyone, Dude everyone thats visits this site has something to share .
If I was the new hot guy on the block (12%) or (ebbinflow) (t2034)(350z)I think you would get an out cry of people against your opinion.
I know I'm not the best ( I only made 3rd place once for a month), no problem . I WILL CONTINUE TO POST AS I SAID BANN ME IF YOU MUST . In the end all will lose if your dicatorship policies continue, because you will lose your base.
Are you a FAA MGMT??

A bit of an explaination!

See other posts but specifically Paladins post #60! If chat in account threads is allowed. Then when you get to work in the morning how many post reads will this add to make your mind up for a IFT before 12:00ET.
That is what the Talk forum does, it keeps it all in one place.

Consideration was given to the member's suggestion. Some improvements resulted. However, the suggestion would complicate matters to retrive data. Thus for simplicity the account forum and post remain "no chat".

Thanks!
Spaf
