+ | ===== List Etiquette ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Before subscribing to any of the OCLUG mailing lists, please read over the | ||
+ | guidelines below. | ||
+ | experience as part of OCLUG much more pleasant and rewarding. | ||
+ | make some new friends. | ||
+ | |||
+ | * //Topics// - Please try to keep on-topic. We | ||
+ | are a Linux users group, so we care about subjects relating to Linux, | ||
+ | UNIX/GNU software development, | ||
+ | that run on Linux, and the like. If you feel they are appropriate, | ||
+ | off-topic posts may be marked by putting [[:OT]] in the subject line to inform | ||
+ | people that it will not be a Linux-related discussion. | ||
+ | |||
+ | * //Signal to Noise Ratio// - When posting a | ||
+ | follow-up to an existing thread, please trim superfluous information. | ||
+ | Everyone following the thread will need context to follow your | ||
+ | contributions, | ||
+ | read. | ||
+ | |||
+ | * //Plain Text Only Please// - Please do not | ||
+ | post in HTML, as many mail clients will not correctly display HTML mail. HTML | ||
+ | also interferes with accessibility for the visually-impaired. | ||
+ | like to reference an image or external document, please include a plain text | ||
+ | URL (e.g.: !http:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | * // | ||
+ | to OpenPGP signatures. | ||
+ | post a plain text URL to the location of the document. | ||
+ | |||
+ | * // | ||
+ | courtesy to keep your email signature to 5 lines or fewer. | ||
+ | |||
+ | * //Read your post before you hit send.// - | ||
+ | Remember that those email addresses belong to actual live people with | ||
+ | feelings and their own tendency toward knee-jerk reactions. | ||
+ | your time and compose well written messages, and avoid personally attacking | ||
+ | the people behind the addresses, they will respect you and do the same. | ||
+ | Remember -- everything you say is archived and there for everyone to see; | ||
+ | politeness will go a long way to giving you a good reputation on-line. | ||
