Guest guest Posted November 16, 2001 Report Share Posted November 16, 2001 Actually she's not but the re-subscription of a few familiar faces has put me back in Moderator Mode. When this list first started we had a kind of 'three strikes and you're out' policy. Well, it wasn't quite that bad but boiled down to: If people are forgetting to trim posts e.g. sending whole digests back to the list, a warning (general) would be issued on list. A second offence would lead to a polite word offlist. A third offence was NAME AND SHAME. Anyone spotted including a whole digest or an untrimmed post in their reply would be reprimanded on list. For those who remember her, I met up with Big Mama, aka Sam, last week and she is very well. Although still the owner of this list, she no longer subscribes/takes part. Which is not to say she won't drop in unannounced ;-)))) We had a few general other rules as well which centred around general politeness: - If you have to swear please *** out the v*w*ls. - Do unto others as you would have done unto you - Don't spam - this includes mentioning your business too often or introducing yourself with the sole intention of advertising your business. An inclusion in your (reasonably sized) signature of a legitimate business does not constitute spamming, nor does responding with useful info to a genuine query onlist. We are more than aware that some people are regular positive contributors and that others regularly seek their opinion. We used to ask that all new subscribers intro'd themselves to the moderators within a reasonable time too although there are so many members now, I'm not sure we could keep up. However, in the interests of politeness, we do still like to see people do so. -- Sue Co-moderator with time on her hands this week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
