They hold true to today.<BR>-----------------------------------------------------------<BR><BR>Effective April 9, 2002</PRE><PRE><SPAN>General use guidelines for the Raven's Fort list<?xml:namespace prefix = o /><o:p></o:p></SPAN></PRE><PRE><SPAN>1) This list is to be used for Raven's Fort<o:p></o:p></SPAN></PRE><PRE><SPAN>information. This list was not intended for
personal<o:p></o:p></SPAN></PRE><PRE><SPAN>issues or issues regarding other organizations aside<o:p></o:p></SPAN></PRE><PRE><SPAN>from the SCA. Here are some questions you need to ask yourself<o:p></o:p></SPAN></PRE><PRE><SPAN>before you post: There are 78 or so people that are<o:p></o:p></SPAN></PRE><PRE><SPAN>subscribed to this list, do you want all of them to<o:p></o:p></SPAN></PRE><PRE><SPAN>know this information? Is this related to RF or SCA,<o:p></o:p></SPAN></PRE><PRE><SPAN>i.e. demos, fighter practice, guild meetings, and things<o:p></o:p></SPAN></PRE><PRE><SPAN>of this nature? Could this statement be interpreted<o:p></o:p></SPAN></PRE><PRE><SPAN>as sarcastic, snide, vulgar or rude?<o:p></o:p></SPAN></PRE><PRE><SPAN></SPAN> </PRE><PRE><SPAN>Airing personal issues such as grudges, etc will<o:p></o:p></SPAN></PRE><PRE><SPAN>not be tolerated. The following is the revised policy<o:p></o:p></SPAN></PRE><PRE>Effective April 9, 2002<SPAN>. It will be re-posted
monthly<o:p></o:p></SPAN></PRE><PRE><SPAN>so everyone is very clear about the consequences. The<o:p></o:p></SPAN></PRE><PRE><SPAN>easiest way to avoid this is discretion, if someone<o:p></o:p></SPAN></PRE><PRE><SPAN>attacks you, wait. Do not reply, I know this is hard,<o:p></o:p></SPAN></PRE><PRE><SPAN>but that means the person who initiated the attack is<o:p></o:p></SPAN></PRE><PRE><SPAN>the only one with repercussions.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></PRE><PRE><SPAN></SPAN> </PRE><PRE><SPAN>This policy applies to personal drama and slander.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></PRE><PRE><SPAN>a) First incident: If an individual submits an<o:p></o:p></SPAN></PRE><PRE><SPAN>objectionable post, they and anyone who responds<o:p></o:p></SPAN></PRE><PRE><SPAN>will be publicly warned on the list.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></PRE><PRE><SPAN>b) Second incident: This is progressive, 1hr or 6<o:p></o:p></SPAN></PRE><PRE><SPAN>months, it doesn't matter. If the exchange begins<o:p></o:p></SPAN></PRE><PRE><SPAN>again, or
the same person begins a new incident, they<o:p></o:p></SPAN></PRE><PRE><SPAN>are off of the list for 30 days. This also applies<o:p></o:p></SPAN></PRE><PRE><SPAN>to anyone who posts more than one reply before I can<o:p></o:p></SPAN></PRE><PRE><SPAN>warn him or her.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></PRE><PRE><SPAN>c) Third incident: This also is progressive. Same<o:p></o:p></SPAN></PRE><PRE><SPAN>situation as above, off for 60 days.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></PRE><PRE><SPAN>d) Fourth incident: This is also progressive. Same<o:p></o:p></SPAN></PRE><PRE><SPAN>situation as above, off permanently.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></PRE><PRE><SPAN></SPAN> </PRE><PRE><SPAN>There is also another situation that will get a member<o:p></o:p></SPAN></PRE><PRE><SPAN>removed from the list permanently, with NO WARNING. If<o:p></o:p></SPAN></PRE><PRE><SPAN>you make terroristic threats, which include any<o:p></o:p></SPAN></PRE><PRE><SPAN>kind of bodily harm, you will be removed and
not<o:p></o:p></SPAN></PRE><PRE><SPAN>allowed back on the list. I think everyone on this<o:p></o:p></SPAN></PRE><PRE><SPAN>list is an adult and knows the difference between<o:p></o:p></SPAN></PRE><PRE><SPAN>good-natured fighter threats (Death to Trimaris! and<o:p></o:p></SPAN></PRE><PRE><SPAN>fighter practice references) and actual threats.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></PRE><PRE><SPAN></SPAN> </PRE><PRE><SPAN>I hope I have made this very clear. I don't have any<o:p></o:p></SPAN></PRE><PRE><SPAN>intention of being a censor or judge for this list; my<o:p></o:p></SPAN></PRE><PRE><SPAN>expectation is that EVERYONE in this Barony is mature<o:p></o:p></SPAN></PRE><PRE><SPAN>and intelligent enough to abide by these simple rules.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></PRE><PRE><SPAN>Don't be ugly to each other. That's it. And if you<o:p></o:p></SPAN></PRE><PRE><SPAN>feel compelled to be ugly, do it in private. That's<o:p></o:p></SPAN></PRE><PRE><SPAN>not cowardly, that's being honorable and dealing
with<o:p></o:p></SPAN></PRE><PRE><SPAN>your personal life in a manner in which people can<o:p></o:p></SPAN></PRE><PRE><SPAN>respect you. I'm not asking everyone to be best<o:p></o:p></SPAN></PRE><PRE><SPAN>friends, just don't air dirty laundry on the list.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></PRE><PRE><SPAN></SPAN> </PRE><PRE><SPAN>Everyone needs to remember that this list is a<o:p></o:p></SPAN></PRE><PRE><SPAN>privilege, not a right.
