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