Guidelines File - Updated 9/8/08

Fairfield Life used to average 75-150 posts a day - 300+ on peak days - and the 
guidelines included steps on how to deal with the volume. But this volume was 
due largely to indiscriminate posting by a few members. We now have a policy 
that limits all members to 50 posts a week. Most participants feel this policy 
has greatly enhanced the quality of the forum. A Post Count message is posted 
every evening, listing members' names (or aliases) and the number of messages 
they've posted that week. Those who exceed their weekly quota will be 
prohibited from posting for a week. The new week starts each Friday at 7pm Iowa 
time, or 00:00 UTC (Coordinated Universal Time). UTC is the same as Greenwich 
Mean Time during winter.

1) This group has long maintained a thoughtful and considerate tone. Please 
refrain from personal attacks, insults and excessive venting. Speak the truth 
that is sweet is a worthy aspiration. If angry, take some time to gain 
composure before writing or pushing the send button.

2) Edit your posts and make them as concise and non-repetitive as possible. 

3) Please snip - be highly selective in quoting a message to which you are 
responding, deleting all but the most relevant portions of the prior posts. 
This makes the daily digest easier to read for those who subscribe to it. Also, 
if the topic of a thread changes, please change the subject header. 

4) Try to make clear to the reader if you are writing from the perspective of 
personal experience, from information gained from teachers or books, from your 
own thoughts, reasoning, logic or conjecture. Please cite sources where 
relevant.

5) Reference prior posts by their archive number whenever possible. 

6) Anonymous posts are permitted, using an account you create.

7) FFL is a newsgroup public forum. FFL can be openly read from the web.  
Posting privileges are through membership only. Material published to FFL is 
not privileged or protected by law. Material published to FFL might be quoted 
and used elsewhere.

8) Posting of adult material, either text or photos, is prohibited. Violation 
of this guideline may result in expulsion from the group.

9) Make cross-posts from other sites only as they are relevant to this group. 
If you think another site has great value, write one post saying so, then let 
others join or go to that site on their own, at their discretion.

10) Only post links to other sites that are relevant references to the specific 
discussion at hand. 

11) While friendly exchange between friends is natural, try to pass on personal 
messages via personal e-mail, refraining where possible from sending personal 
messages to the whole list. 

12) Feel to invite your friends to join FFL, and to use the site's Promote 
feature on your websites. The broader the personal network, the greater the 
value to all. Friends may now access the posts of FFL directly off the home 
page without having to join the list.

13) Please don't post commercial announcements in the main message area. 
Folders have been set up in the Database, Links and Files sections for listing 
books, CDs, DVDs and other items for trade, a Fairfield ride board, local 
events, hiring/looking for work announcements, informative articles, useful 
links, etc. Also check http://fairfieldtoday.com/.

14) Political discussions are allowed. However, be kind and respectful of 
others' viewpoints. Come with a humble heart, an open mind, and the desire to 
contribute constructively to everyone's broader awareness.

15) Keep in mind that many FFL members desire to maintain anonymity. If you 
happen to know a member's real name, perhaps because that member has mentioned 
it in a post or two, or to you privately, please refer to that member only by 
their pseudonym.

16) If you want to make suggestions for the refinement of these guidelines, 
please post them in the forum.

Fairfield Life used to average 75-150 posts a day - 300+ on peak days - and the 
guidelines included steps on how to deal with the volume. But this volume was 
due largely to indiscriminate posting by a few members. We now have a policy 
that limits all members to 50 posts a week. Most participants feel this policy 
has greatly enhanced the quality of the forum. Members are responsible for 
counting and restricting their own posts. Those who exceed their weekly quota 
will be banned without warning for a week (2nd offense, 2 weeks, etc.).

Guidelines File 11/18/07

Fairfield Life used to average 75-150 posts a day - 300+ on peak days - and the 
guidelines included steps on how to deal with the volume. But this volume was 
due largely to indiscriminate posting by a few members. We now have a policy 
that limits all members to 50 posts a week. Most participants feel this policy 
has greatly enhanced the quality of the forum. Members are responsible for 
counting and restricting their own posts. Those who exceed their weekly quota 
will be banned without warning for a week (2nd offense, 2 weeks, etc.).

Point 1, below, includes the following: Please refrain from personal attacks, 
insults... Since a few members habitually ignore this guideline, we're going 
to try putting some teeth in it. Those who can't refrain from flaming 
(personal attacks) or indulge in gratuitous profanity or sexist, racist, etc. 
slurs will be warned, then if they persist, will be banned for a week, 2nd 
offense 2 weeks, etc.

You can also read FFL posts at 
http://www.mail-archive.com/fairfieldlife@yahoogroups.com/. Some say this is 
faster than the Yahoo groups interface, and prefer it because it allows sorting

1) This group has long maintained a thoughtful and considerate tone. Please 
refrain from personal attacks, insults and excessive venting. Speak the truth 
that is sweet is a worthy aspiration. If angry, take some time to gain 
composure before writing or pushing the send button.

2) Edit your posts and make them as concise and non-repetitive as possible. 

3) Please snip - be highly selective in quoting a message to which you are 
responding, deleting all but the most relevant portions of the prior posts. 
This makes the daily digest easier to read for those who subscribe to it. Also, 
if the topic of a thread changes, please change the subject header. If you 
don't, someone with moderator status will delete your post and post its content 
in a new post with an accurate header.

4) Try to make clear to the reader if you are writing from the perspective of 
personal experience, from information gained from teachers or books, from your 
own thoughts, reasoning, logic or conjecture. Please cite sources where 
relevant.

5) Reference prior posts by their archive number whenever possible. 

6) Anonymous posts are permitted, using an account you create.

7) FFL is a newsgroup public forum. FFL can be openly read from the web.  
Posting privileges are through membership only. Material published to FFL is 
not privileged or protected by law. Material published to FFL might be quoted 
and used elsewhere.

8) Make cross-posts from other sites only as they are relevant to this group. 
If you think another site has great value, write one post saying so, then let 
others join or go to that site on their own, at their discretion.

9) Only post links to other sites that are relevant references to the specific 
discussion at hand. 

10) While friendly exchange between friends is natural, try to pass on personal 
messages via personal e-mail, refraining where possible from sending personal 
messages to the whole list. 

11) Feel to invite your friends to join FFL, and to use the site's Promote 
feature on your websites. The broader the personal network, the greater the 
value to all. Friends may now access the posts of FFL directly off the home 
page without having to join the list.

12) Please don't post commercial announcements in the main message area. 
Folders have been set up in the Database, Links and Files sections for listing 
books, CDs, DVDs and other items for trade, a Fairfield ride board, local 
events, hiring/looking for work announcements, informative articles, useful 
links, etc. Also check http://fairfieldtoday.com/.

13) Political discussions are allowed. However, be kind and respectful of 
others' viewpoints. Come with a humble heart, an open mind, and the desire to 
contribute constructively to everyone's broader awareness.

14) Keep in mind that many FFL members desire to maintain anonymity. If you 
happen to know a member's real name, perhaps because that member has mentioned

Fairfield Life used to average 75-150 posts a day - 300+ on peak days - and the 
guidelines included steps on how to deal with the volume. But this volume was 
due largely to indiscriminate posting by a few members. We now have a policy 
that limits all members to 35 posts a week. Members are responsible for 
counting and restricting their own posts, but members who regularly exceed 
their weekly quota will be put on moderated status. Most participants feel this 
policy has greatly enhanced the quality of the forum.

You can also read FFL posts at 
http://www.mail-archive.com/fairfieldlife@yahoogroups.com/. Some say this is 
faster than the Yahoo groups interface, and prefer it because it allows sorting 
by thread and has a better search function.

(http://www.mozilla.com/thunderbird/) and use it just for FFL.

6) You can also read FFL posts at 
http://www.mail-archive.com/fairfieldlife@yahoogroups.com/. Some say this is 
faster than the Yahoo groups interface, and prefer it because it allows sorting 
by thread and has a better search function.

8) In order to prevent a repeat of the incident in which apparently, a 
malicious member uploaded some x-rated photos and then notified Yahoo that our 
chat had x-rated photos, thus causing our temporary reclassification to the 
adult category, we have limited all members to read-only access for files, 
photos, links, database, and calendar. If you would like to upload something, 
please notify Gullible Fool ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) or Rick ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). 
We'll then temporarily lift the limitation, and impose it again after you're 
finished. Sorry for the inconvenience.

9) Our Files section is usually full. If you want to upload something, send it 
to [EMAIL PROTECTED] It will be uploaded to http://alex.natel.net/ffl/. We'll 
occasionally move the best material from there to FFL, and may archive some 
FFL stuff there.

1) This group has long maintained a thoughtful and considerate tone. Please 
refrain from personal attacks, insults and excessive venting. Speak the truth 
that is sweet is a worthy aspiration. If angry, take some time to gain 
composure before writing or pushing the send button.

2) Edit your posts and make them as concise and non-repetitive as possible. 

3) Please be highly selective in quoting a message to which you are responding, 
deleting all but the most relevant portions of the prior posts. This makes the 
daily digest easier to read for those who subscribe to it.

4) Try to make clear to the reader if you are writing from the perspective of 
personal experience, from information gained from teachers or books, from your 
own thoughts, reasoning, logic or conjecture. Please cite sources where 
relevant.

5) Reference prior posts by their archive number whenever possible. 

6) Anonymous posts are permitted, using an account you create.

7) FFL is a newsgroup public forum. FFL can be openly read from the web.  
Posting privileges are through membership only. Material published to FFL is 
not privileged or protected by law. Material published to FFL might be quoted 
and used elsewhere.

8) Make cross-posts from other sites only as they are highly relevant to this 
group. If you think another site has great value, write one post saying so, 
then let others join or go to that site on their own, at their discretion.

9) Only post links to other sites that are relevant references to the specific 
discussion at hand. 

10) While friendly exchange between friends is natural, try to pass on personal 
messages via personal e-mail, refraining where possible from sending personal 
messages to the whole list. 

11) Feel to invite your friends to join FFL, and to use the site's Promote 
feature on your websites. The broader the personal network, the greater the 
value to all.  Friends may now access the posts of FFL directly off the home 
page without having to join the list.

12) Please don't post commercial announcements in the main message area. See 
the Database, Links and Files sections for folders that have been set up 
listing books, CDs, DVDs and other items for trade, a Fairfield ride board, 
local events, hiring/looking for work announcements, informative articles, 
useful, links, etc.

13) Discussions of politics that affect personal growth and world consciousness 
are allowed. However, be kind and respectful of others' viewpoints. Come with a 
humble heart, an open mind, and the desire to contribute constructively to 
everyone's broader awareness.

14) Keep in mind that many FFL members desire to maintain anonymity. If you 
happen to know a member's real name, perhaps because that member has mentioned 
it in a post or two, or just to you privately, please refer to that member only 
by the pseudonym.

15) If you want to make suggestions for the refinement of these guidelines, 
please post it in the forum.

1) This group has long maintained a thoughtful and considerate tone. Please refrain from personal attacks, insults and excessive venting. Speak the truth that is sweet is a worthy aspiration. If angry, take some time to gain composure before writing or pushing the send button.

2) Edit your posts and make them as concise and non-repetitive as possible. 

3) Please be highly selective in quoting a message to which you are responding, deleting all but the most relevant portions of the prior posts. This makes the daily digest easier to read for those who subscribe to it.

4) Try to make clear to the reader if you are writing from the perspective of personal experience, from information gained from teachers or books, from your own thoughts, reasoning, logic or conjecture. Please cite sources where relevant.

5) Reference prior posts by their archive number whenever possible. 

6) Anonymous posts are permitted, using an account you create.

7) FFL is a newsgroup public forum. FFL can be openly read from the web. Posting privileges are through membership only. Material published to FFL is not privileged or protected by law. Material published to FFL might be quoted and used elsewhere.

8) Make cross-posts from other sites only as they are highly relevant to this group. If you think another site has great value, write one post saying so, then let others join or go to that site on their own, at their discretion.

9) Only post links to other sites that are relevant references to the specific discussion at hand. 

10) While friendly exchange between friends is natural, try to pass on personal messages via personal e-mail, refraining where possible from sending personal messages to the whole list. 

11) Feel to invite your friends to join FFL, and to use the site's Promote feature on your websites. The broader the personal network, the greater the value to all. Friends may now access the posts of FFL directly off the home page without having to join the list.

12) Please don't post commercial announcements in the main message area. See the Database, Links and Files sections for folders that have been set up listing books, CDs, DVDs and other items for trade, a Fairfield ride board, local events, hiring/looking for work announcements, informative articles, useful, links, etc.

13) Discussions of politics that affect personal growth and world consciousness are allowed. However, be kind and respectful of others' viewpoints. Come with a humble heart, an open mind, and the desire to contribute constructively to everyone's broader awareness.

14) Keep in mind that many FFL members desire to maintain anonymity. If you happen to know a member's real name, perhaps because that member has mentioned it in a post or two, or just to you privately, please refer to that member only by the pseudonym.

15) If you want to make suggestions for the refinement of these guidelines, please post it in the forum.

Fairfield Life averages 75-150 posts a day; 300+ on peak days. To avoid having your inbox flooded, we suggest one of the following:

1) Opt to receive the emails, but create a folder in your email client and a rule to direct all FFL posts to that folder.

2) Choose the no emails option and read FFL in your browser.

3) Opt to receive the daily digest.

4) Create another email account solely for FFL posts. Yahoo and Google now give free 2Gb accounts.

5) You can also read FFL posts at http://www.mail-archive.com/fairfieldlife@yahoogroups.com/. Some say this is faster than the Yahoo groups interface, and prefer it because it allows sorting by thread and has a better search function.

2005-11-01 Thread FairfieldLife

Guidelines File 05/21/05

Fairfield Life averages 100-150 posts a day; 300+ on peak days. To avoid having 
your inbox flooded, we suggest one of the following:

1) Opt to receive the emails, but create a folder in your email client and a 
rule to direct all FFL posts to that folder.
2) Choose the no emails option and read FFL in your browser.
3) Opt to receive the daily digest.
4) Create another email account solely for FFL posts. Yahoo now gives 1Gb for 
free.
5) You can also read FFL posts at 
http://www.mail-archive.com/fairfieldlife@yahoogroups.com/. Some say this is 
faster than the Yahoo groups interface, and prefer it because it allows sorting 
by thread.

1) This group has long maintained a thoughtful and considerate tone. Please 
refrain from personal attacks, insults and excessive venting. Speak the truth 
that is sweet is a worthy aspiration. If angry, take some time to gain 
composure before writing or pushing the send button.
2) Edit your posts and make them as concise and non-repetitive as possible. 
3) Please be highly selective in quoting a message to which you are responding, 
deleting all but the most relevant portions of the prior posts. This makes the 
daily digest easier to read for those who subscribe to it.
4) Try to make clear to the reader if you are writing from the perspective of 
personal experience, from information gained from teachers or books, from your 
own thoughts, reasoning, logic or conjecture. Please cite sources where 
relevant.
