Hi everyone, Over the past couple of weeks or so I have noticed a number of listers disregarding some of the general list guidelines in one way or another. As some of you might be new to the list or just forgot the guidelines this is to be considered both a reminder and a moderator warning to please follow all of the list guidelines sent to you when signing up to the list and that are sent out regularly once a month as a general reminder of the rules. Off topic posting. When it comes to sending off topic messages I would like to remind you that any message considered to be off topic must be approved by a list moderator, either Raul or myself, before it is sent to the list. Any off topic posts sent without moderator approval may result in the poster being placed on moderated status or be banned depending on how serious the subject matter. So please do not send any more off topic posts without requesting moderator approval first. Message size. As many of you may or may not know the way we have the list setup each message cannot be longer than 10 KB in size unless you obtain moderator approval such as in the case of something large like a news letter or Audyssey Magazine. All other posts are suppose to be properly trimmed containing only your reply plus the original post you are replying to. Failing to carry out this basic list guideline will result in your post being rejected by a moderator or be deleted from the server without question. So consider yourselves forewarned. Changing subject lines. I've noticed a number of threads where the subject matter completely changed mid way through the discussion but the subject line remained the same. Please, remember to change the subject line of the thread when the topic changes or if you are going to post something on a new topic. Do not continue to post, and post, and post using the same subject line when the topic has changed. Continued abuse of this rule may result in a few less mindful posters being placed on moderated status until they can learn to practice good list etiquette. Lastly, spell checking. Raul and I both know that for many of you that English is a second language. However, I have also seen posts from several native English speaking posters with extremely poor spelling and grammar. Such posts are very difficult to read and follow. While this is not a guideline per say I would like to request that you guys please begin spell checking your posts before you post them to the list. As many e-mail clients like Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express, Mozilla Thunderbird, etc have fairly decent spell checkers I don't think that this request is a major imposition for any of you.
