:Regarding the 8+ years, what about the email functionality? Did You get it to work? If any functionality is more community relevant than that, which would it be?

:I see what You mean. It is on WikiIndex that I learned to watch the RC closely. But I do not see it as more important than email. Practically it is, if the email does not work. But I do not intend to become a RC-junkie. I regard RC as something mainly for [[sysop]]s, for those who have to have a watch over others. RC is what You get with the installation, it's most basic functionality. The other community relevant functionalities needs to be build and cared for, like this page. When RC becomes the place where everything seams to happen, it is, because nobody cared to build a better place. RC is a primitive, a fall back. In order to build a good quality of community one needs to design complex higher functions. When people poke their noses in my sandbox because they are watching my every little step on RC I got to think: "don't they have better things to do?" I once asked Sean if sandbox-edits can be excluded from RC and he denied that. So, if technically this is not possible than it should be excluded by means of policy in order to create more privacy. | :I see what You mean.

:email 10-20 active | :email 10-20 active [[user]]s, ask them to register their email address if not yet done and create a list of account names, mail addresses and whether thy got or not the mails. Possibly it will show some hint like which mail servers get and which not. Since You should not ask the users to paste You their email adresses on Your talk page, You need to use checkuser to read them out on your own. Your result list could be public without the alias part of the address, just server. [[User:Manorainjan|Manorainjan]] ([[User talk:Manorainjan|talk]]) 02:13, 9 September 2014 (UTC) | ||
