Welcome
to the UBSCC Mailing List!
This document
describes how to be a happy member of the UBSCC Mailing List
family. Think of this mailing list as an informal conversation
around the dinner table. Ask relevant questions, or just sit
and listen. Break the rules and you will be excused from the
table. This list server is an informal means for everyone interested
in British cars to share information. It is intended as a means
to allow members to share information on their cars, club activities,
etc., and is not an official source of information from the
UBSCC.
THE
RULES
To avoid utter
chaos and anarchy, the Moderator wears the pants around here.
Break the rules and suffer the penalty. If you have a complaint
about a posting, tell the Moderator. If you are caught bickering
on the list, you will both be sent to your rooms without dinner.
Make the List-Owner/ Moderators angry, and your access privileges
will be (at least temporarily) suspended.
(1) No Flaming
- on or off line. "Just Be Nice"
(2) No cross-posting.
Even if you have multiple subscriptions, send only to "UBSCC@egroups.com"
(3) Do your homework.
Make sure you know what you're talking about before sharing
it.
(4) Stay on topic.
NO chain letters or political endorsements.
(5) No copyrighted
materials.
(6) KISS -- Keep
It Short and Simple. Trim quoted material, and keep your signatures
short. Messages carrying more than one prior message will probably
be rejected.
(7) Use an appropriate
subject. Summarize your post in the subject. Descriptive subjects
get more attention.
(8) Use discretion.
Post prudently, and send private emails when appropriate.
(9) Please do
not attempt to post picture files or other attachements to the
list. It may or may not go though.
(10) Set your
email program to submit inline text. HTML or
other formatting works very unreliably and sometimes will not
come through at all.
(11) If you are
posting something for sale, or otherwise looking for private
answers, put your email ID in the body of the message. eGroups
filters out the last letter of your address in order to inhibit
spam robots from picking addresses out of the archives.
(12) Moderators
will usually comment rejections. Be sure to look through the
notice and see what you can correct. If you are ever in doubt
about the rules, consult the moderator first.
The legal fine print.
