I like your guidelines very much, and suggest only the following change:
Change "You will likely be ignored or placed into a black list" to
"You most likely will be ignored by many of the members."
Thanks. I meant to imply that a member would add such an offender to
their blocked list. You are right, though, it sounds as if the list
maintains a black list that one could be found on. I will modify this.
Also you probably should include some statement to the effect that
"Direct insults to or towards specific members of the group which do
nothing to promote group harmony are considered inappropriate and
therefore are highly discouraged."
I tried to address this with the following: "Responding to other members
on the list to address personal issues is generally discouraged. This
is a gathering. If you have an issue with a person at a gathering, you
don't disrespect the peace of the others by publicizing your personal
grievances. This communication is best left off the list."
