[nabs-l] NABS List Guidelines

[Arielle Silverman]

Hi all,
I'm not sure if the NFBNet system accommodates attachments, but we
will send the guidelines around on the first of each month.

>> NABS List Guidelines
>>
>> 1.	 Be respectful.
>> 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.
