Listers:
There have been a number of posts sent to the List recently which are
againstour rules. These are not permitted. An earlier warning was posted,
but the problem posts continue. Please re-read the rules, and consider the
post you are about to send. If it reaches the List and violates the below,
we will take action to interfere with your unrestricted posting privileges.
If you stop to re-read the posts of the past few days, you will see a number
which violate the below, which are restricted under Showgsd's rules.
Accordingly, please consider this a warning that List members who violate
thebelow will have their posting privileges restricted. A thousand members
of the fancy do not want to be privy to one-on-one bickering, conversations
and personal attacks, "me-toos", off-topic posts and other irrelevancies.
That is not why they belong to the List and not why we go to the trouble to
maintain it.
? Personal attacks, hostile, accusatory posts, in word or in tone, are
not allowed.
? Posts concerning politics or religion. These subjects are
universally prohibited from email lists, unless the topic of the list is
political or religious.
? Posts which contain obscene or sexually explicit material, or which
poke fun at gender, religion, ethnicity, or sexual orientation.
? Mention of the fact that a particular dog or dogs will be competing
at upcoming events.
? German vs. American promotion
? Off topic posts. This List is specifically geared to the
furtheranceof the AKC/CKC/GSDCA/GSDCC style of conformation showing and
breeding of German Shepherd Dogs, and to the maintenance and exchange of
information which is constructive and beneficial to the dogs and to members
of the fancy. Anything which is not somehow related to this topic is
considered "off-topic"
? Advertising. Any post which is made in furtherance of a product,
object or service for sale, or for the personal benefit of any List member
or group of List members (other than posts having a charitable or rescue
purpose), is not allowed.
? Website updates you may include in your signature ?website updated
mm/dd/yy? with the appropriate date filled in. Other than as set forth
here,posts regarding updates to your web site are not permitted.
? Signatures All posts should be signed with your name. Signatures
may not exceed three lines in length, and the content of the signatures must
be otherwise compliant with these rules, therefore they may not contain
advertising, religious or political material, German v. American promotion,
etc.
? Promotion of GSDs with disqualifying faults is prohibited
? "Me too" posts - these are posts which merely say "I agree", or "You
are right", or "I feel the same way", without additional substantive
content. These add nothing to the threads, but contribute greatly to the
volume of posts, causing subscribers? mailboxes to fill up quickly and
overflow. Feel free to send your supportive "me too" directly and privately
to the poster if you want them to know you agree.
? Posts which are directed at 5 people or less. These add greatly to
post volume, causing subscribers mailboxes to fill up quickly and overflow.
Please send these posts privately, not to the List.
? Welcomes, congratulations, condolences. These are private matters,
and should be sent privately, not to the List. They add greatly to post
volume, causing subscribers mailboxes to fill up quickly and overflow.
? Administrative matters and complaints. Send these privately to the
administrators at admin@xxxxxxxxxxx
The purpose of these rules is not to be restrictive, but to provide through
Showgsd-l a resource that works for all subscribers. Please understand that
they are intended to be considerate of all subscribers.
Showgsd-l is an advanced-level email list, intended for discussion of issues
of interest and concern to serious breeders, exhibitors and fanciers.
Pleasekeep this in mind when posting. While occasional banter and humor is
permissible, this is not the purpose of Showgsd-l, therefore should be kept
to a minimum.
