I received a recent off-list e-mail, asking if someone could be taken off of
moderation status. I thought this would be a perfect opportunity to
discuss how moderation works on this list(and why):
This list, is much different than most, in terms of moderation. At
one point, I was a member of over 125 lists, and most of them had
the same problems - spam, porn, and arguing. Some were totally un-
moderated, others were "sort of" moderated, while others moderated
certain people while they were new, and AFTER they caused a problem.
I have seen droves of people exit these groups, all saying the same
things. When I set up this list, I decided it would be distinctly
different - but how? Every thing I thought of had positives and
negatives. Here's what I came up with, and why:
1. I would be an involved Moderator. If a Moderator doesn't care
about their list, why should anyone else?
2. This would be a list where everyone could come and talk.
Beginner's through Professional are welcome, and for that reason,
there would have to be a "playground teacher", as differences of
opinion are bound to happen.
3. We would have an agree to disagree policy. Vegans/Vegetarians/Non-
Vegetarians co-exist on this list, as do people who have various
thoughts on preservation systems. So far, there has been little
bloodshed, but I feel that is due to this list being tightly
moderated. I feel people are much more careful about HOW they word things, due to this.
4. I would make this a list people of any age would to be able to use. Because of this, I can't "chance" even one off-color post to get through.
5. I have seen the results of what happens when people are un-moderated, after a few posts. I *AM NOT* saying anyone here would be this way, but I have seen what can happen. I have also seen how vindictive some people can be towards other lists. Loosening up on moderation after someone posts a few times could be opening up our list to outsiders just waiting to cause trouble. I have seen that happen!
6. In order for me to keep track of what is going on, it is just easier to filter it as it goes through. I cand keep track of it better, and I don't have to worry about whether or not 50 messages back there is a porn message or a scrum going on between several people.
7. One of the reasons that I do not have some people moderated, and others not, is I don't want to "play favorites", listen to people ask why THEY are moderated, while someone else is not, or try to keep track of who is moderated, and who is not.
8. People on these lists usually belong to many others. Occasionally, people will accidentally e-mail items to the list intending that they go elsewhere. Some are quite "lively". Being moderated weeds out any e-mails not meant for the list. By the way, this has happened.
I *KNOW* the system has its problems. I *KNOW* it tends to slow the list down. I *KNOW* some people are offended by the fact they are moderated. For these problems, I am sorry. But I feel they are trade offs for having a safe haven to come to, and talk about cosmetics, soaps, toiletries, candles, and scented items. Hopefully, some of the unique - well, I feel they're unique - features on this list, will outweigh the moderation issue. I am also hoping the fact the list is moderated is a comfort to parents. I am working the problem of it slowing down the list. Within the next 4 months, or so, you may not even notice the messages are being moderated. Just so people know: Even MY posts need to be approved <grin> I sincerely hope this post, or being moderated, does not offend anyone. I just thought it was time for me to speak up. We've had several new members, and the e-mail I got just poked me in the butt to explain the situation.
This will be put in the files section. It will be sent out to all new members, and will be sent as a reminder to everyone once a month.
I hope all of you understand. I mean well!

Your lips are one of the sensitive parts in your body. However being exposed to the open air and many beauty treatments, they may lack their natural charm. It first occurs as the loss of the elasticity of lips, due to aging. The exposure to sun and the open air may also make them dry and chapped.
The lip caring formula in the lip conditioners hydrates, comforts and protects your lips, day and night. Majority of the lip conditioners include SPF 15 sunscreen plus Vitamins C and E. These ingredients protect your lips from UVA/UVB rays of sun. The firming techniques in the lip conditioners ensure the elasticity of the lips for a fuller look. |
|
| Most of the lip conditioners contain shea butter that hydrates, smoothes and soothes the lips. This lightweight conditioner for the lip is invariably formulated with SPF 15. This ingredient protects the lips from mild aggressions. Unlike many of the other lip creams, lip conditioners hold in moisture and provide gentle repair to dry lips. | |

Lip conditioners are usually colour free. In that case, those who hesitate to add colour to their charming lips, can use it. Lip conditioners are coming in a variety of flavours like vanilla, strawberry, chocolate etc. The main ingredients of lip conditioners are almond oil, shea butter, avocado extract, wheat germ oil, vitamins A and E.
The method to wear lip conditioners requires no special talent. You can wear lip conditioners under lipstick as a moisturizing base coat. If you are not comfortable with lip conditioners while going out, wear it overnight as an intensive moisture treatment. Now, condition your lips as never before! |
