I guess no matter how I said it, someone would still feel it is abrasive. For instance, if I simply repeat what the moderator said in the Sticky (without saying that I am just quoting the moderator): "It would also help all members greatly if you describe the contents briefly, using designations (m/f, f/m, f/f, etc.). Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.", I bet someone would complain just as well. Well, shouldn't the moderator also have said it more "nicely" because someone was just trying to contribute something to the forum? Let's make a suggestion to the moderator on his/her language: "thanks in advance for the post, but we would be really really grateful if there is any chance you could briefly give more details on your clip by using designations (m/f, f/m, f/f, etc) as it may take a while to download and we'd prefer to know what the content was before downloading."
I am sorry but I really do not see much difference between "Do you mind labelling the post with things like M/F, upperbody/feet, etc to describe the nature of the clip? Especially if it takes a long time to download." and "It would also help all members greatly if you describe the contents briefly, using designations (m/f, f/m, f/f, etc.). " And someone feels that "it would also help all members greatly" is nicer than "do you mind"? Well, I thought I covered that part in my last sentence: "I think people would benefit ..."
OK, I missed the 'thank you' part. And let me say here aloud: THANK YOU!
