LDN Group Special Notice: SPAM CONTROL

Recently it has been brought to our attention that the occurrence of

spam and other offensive messages on the LDN Group has been on

the rise. Although the moderators of this group have tried to review

all content on a frequent basis, our practice has been not to pre-

screen messages or members. We have appreciated the messages we have

received from several group members offering to help in the process of

moderating, and suggesting some form of pre-screening. However, at

this time we feel that imposing that degree of censorship may be too

harsh a solution, given that the problem is not quite that severe.

For now, we recommend the following group guidelines to help alleviate

the spam problem in the LDN Group:

1) DON'T POST SPAM. Spam has been defined as " Unsolicited e-mail,

often of a commercial nature, sent indiscriminately to multiple

mailing lists, individuals, or newsgroups; junk e-mail. " It is our

policy to ban those who post spam to this group.

2) DON'T POST OFFENSIVE MESSAGES. Here we are referring to messages

whose content obviously upsets a substantial number of group members.

For example, we have banned those who have repeatedly posted messages

that include the entire contents of the previous Daily Digest, those

who have repeatedly made unsubstantiated and bizarre claims, and those

who have not complied with our requests to modify their offensive posts.

3) DON'T SPREAD SPAM OR OFFENSIVE MESSAGES. This tends to happen when

a group member is complaining about an inappropriate message sent by

somebody else -- and, in doing so, he or she copies the offensive

message and spreads it further. Therefore, please, when referring to

an annoying message, avoid copying any of the offensive material into

your own message. (If your e-mail software automatically copies the

original message when you press " Reply, " you may need to manually

scroll down in your reply to delete the offending original message.)

Thank you for continuing to make the LDN Group a useful,

supportive community.

Sincerely,

The Moderators
