	:: I totally understand what you're getting at... I think there was probably 100 or more "I mean", "um", "yeah", or some form of stuttering on Kacey's part alone on Kacey call 8 that I would have LOVED to leave out...but I don't know if leaving them out is the right choice... We transcribe them for a reason I guess, so I always try to keep everything word for word and letter for letter...even when the stuttering and repetition start to make me want to bash my face into a wall. But that's just my opinion. --[[User:4Macie\|4Macie]] 22:14, 7 March 2011 (PST)		:: I totally understand what you're getting at...

			== Color Coded Actions ==

			I've seen on a few Transcripts that actions are colour coded too, but on other Transcripts actions are in black text. whats the correct way when transcripting actions? [[User:HitIar\|HitIar "wunderbar!"]] 13:01, 24 August 2011 (PDT)

	This is just my opinion about transcribing conversations... I think every stutter that comes out of Chris's mouth should be transcribed, but for the other people it doesn't matter if you skip some "um"s and "uh"s, as long as it makes sense and you're not leaving out anything important. Chris's quotes are really the only ones that matter. I just wanted to mention this because maybe it'll make it a little easier for people transcribing the many hours of Kacey phone calls, but if I'm wrong someone let me know.

	Transcripts REALLY need to be wikified. Some of you complain that it's hard to see with the coloring and in that case, wiki links should take precedence over color coding. This is a wiki, articles (including transcripts) should link to other articles for clarifying notes and that is more important than fun color coding. --[[User:Champthom\|Champthom]] 18:02, 24 February 2010 (UTC)		Transcripts REALLY need to be wikified.

			== Break tags ==

			I fucking hate break tags, and would like to encourage all users to avoid them. In the giant transcriptions of long conversations, they make all the words run together which makes it harder for idiots like me to read them. Granted, I used them myself in the reformatting of the IRC transcripts, but only because those were actual text documents, and that was the closest way to represent their original format.

			But I'm sure you all have your own opinions on this. Especially YOU, Blunderscore, who went and added break tags to my flawless formatting of mumble 1.

			So let's argue about this already.--[[User:Beat\|Beat]] 18:00, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
