[nabs-l] NABS List Guidelines

[Joseph Hudson]

Hello, I grew with Elizabeth. But what I think could happen, as also is trying to put them up on the website maybe it will be easier to put them in the attached file or friend some way to upload file into the System and have it go out as well as a password reminder. So you would get two e-mails per month from the owners list e-mail.

Thank you for taking the time to write them as well as serve as the new list moderator until the position can be permanently filled by someone else. In addition to posting these guidelines to the email list, you may wish to consider posting them on the email list information page as well. The last time I checked to see what was listed there, I did not find anything. It may be helpful to have these guidelines posted there for people to read if they are going there to sign up to be a part of the email list.

> A. This Listserv is a great forum in which we can all express our opinions. Sometimes we will disagree. However, when responding to a post, always be respectful. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and personal attacks and  degrading comments will not be tolerated.
> B. All posts must be appropriate for a wide audience, including readers younger than 18 years old. Profanity and sexual content will not be allowed.
> C. Remember that all list messages appear on a public archive. Please respect other people’s privacy by not posting details about their lives or experiences. Even if you post about somebody without using their name, their identity can be discovered. Also remember that if you post your phone number on list, others could access it via a Google search.

> 2.	Reducing List Clutter
> A. Please stay on topic. This list is about blindness and issues related to being a blind student or job-seeker. Posts about religion or politics, advertisements, queries asking to add list members on social media, or any other posts unrelated to blindness are not allowed, as they create too much list clutter unrelated to the list purpose. The exception is that advertisements for blindness programs and announcements about blindness-related research projects are permitted. The moderators and NABS board reserve the right to close down any discussion that is off-topic.
> B.	Please respect readers’ time by consolidating your ideas into one
> or two messages per day instead of posting many short replies to a topic. Rule of thumb is to post in a way to further the conversation, instead of just saying “I agree”.
> C.	When you would like to write someone off list or offer to connect
> with someone by Skype or social media, do so privately. You do not have to write one liners to every person you’d like to email off list.
> If you develop a conversation with that person, that’s great, if they feel they do not want to respond that is their right too.
> D.	If an off-topic message appears on the list, please do not respond
> to it. Instead, please either delete it or forward it to a list moderator. Single off-topic messages create much less clutter than long threads debating whether or not the initial post is appropriate for the list.
> E. If you send a message the moderators feel is off-topic, you will receive an off-list request not to send any more messages of this kind. If you disagree with the moderator’s ruling, feel free to reply and make your case, and we will be more than happy to listen. But the list committee has final authority regarding what is and is not appropriate for the list. Repeated violations of the guidelines could result in disciplinary action from the list owner, including list removal.
