As a former hall monitor (my 6 bros. & sisters grew up and moved away!) I found that one public rebuke, followed by PRIVATE conversations were the most effective. No one likes to be called out in public, and face it, nobody likes the hall monitor whose gone power mad. Gently gentle reminders (as in the way you talk to us) are most effective.

Well, I don’t see this as hall monitoring because being a hall monitor was a privilege given to build self esteem and leadership skills, and thread reminders an unpleasant task....because we wish we COULD post links and asking them to be removed is not a privilege nor is it enjoyable. *picturing blu as a lil’ hall monitor* *smile*
I’ve had people remind me that I goofed and posted 8ch links and I’ve asked them to be removed. I read HoneysuckleTn’s text as neutral/polite and I think I’ve seen it before without problem, but I can put together text that can be used by anyone as a reminder to make it clear it’s not their personal opinion or idea (will modify with FReeQ input so it works for as many as possible).
I see HoneysuckleTN responded on the thread because the poster responded to her on the thread. Will include in text I write a request that objections/followup be private messages.
I am sorry I did not mention the support I encourage re 8ch links to No_doll_i and others - I could have saved us all this.
Shout out to HoneysuckleTN! THANK YOU!
I just floated an idea in a PM to which I’ll post here instead of waiting for a response. I invite input from all:
Would it help if we had a public 8ch ping list for private messaging? In other words, a ping list posted publicly that anyone wishing to share 8ch links can pick up and us to private message links? I could post it at the head of the thread somewhere? Please let me know. :)
