(3) Is there a digest version?
Yes a digest version is available. Go to the yahoogroups website and adjust your settings there
or send an email to vetwives-digest@yahoogroups.com
RULES:
VetWives™ List rules. Hopefully these guidelines will help the list run smoother.
ATTN: This is a HIGH VOLUME list (approx 80 - 100 emails per day)
SUBJECT headings:
Keep clear subject lines, if you are replying to a post and the subject changes
then change the subject heading.
SHORT messages:
If you are just saying "loved it", "thanks", or something along those lines just
type that in the subject line and type /NM for no message, that way we can just
scan thru and delete those messages knowing there is nothing else to be read
inside, speeds up things for those of us who deal with a high volume of email.
If you reply to a message please remove the /NM out of the subject line so that
we will know there is a message in the body.
JOKES:
Yes they are allowed onlist but we do have a separate list just for those and
prefer to keep the majority of them there so that it doesn't clog up this list
too much. vetjokes@yahoogroups.com Be aware that the jokes list is uncensored,
any content is allowed.
PARTICIPATION:
It is a requirement that you participate in this list. If you are a member your
are required to post a message of introduction when you join and to post at
least once per month. This is a participation required list, no one is allowed
to sit silent in the background. Too many people join a list and then just sit
and not post. If you do not regularly post to this list you will be removed from
this list.
LANGUAGE:
Please be aware that children, grandchildren, young adults, or sensitive
adults may be viewing the content of your message so please refrain from
using profanity or vulgar language. If you do send jokes to the vetwives™ list
please edit them, the jokes list is not censored so feel free to post whatever
over there.
PATIENCE, Love, Tolerance:
We are a very diverse group of people coming from all types of backgrounds and
as such we have many different opinions on any subject matter. Please always
think before you post anything that may be upsetting to someone else on the
list. Sometimes we fire off a post before thinking it through, especially if
angered, stop and cool and think before replying. No flames will be tolerated.
We are all adults and as such I feel that we can conduct ourselves in an adult
manner and if we have a disagreement with someone then it should be taken up
between yourselves off list. If you need any help of any kind please feel free
to email me. I am always here to listen and will do my best to help out if
possible.
FLAMING, ARGUING, SNIPING, OR GENERALLY BEING NASTY TO SOMEONE ON THE LIST:
This will not be tolerated. You will be given a warning on 1st offense, 2nd you
will be placed on moderated status (moderated: your posts will have to be
approved before going to the list) 3rd offense you will be removed from the
list.
If a member of this list posts a message for any person that is on moderated
status it will result in immediate removal of both parties. In other words if
another member asks you to post for them you best be aware that if they are
moderated and using you to get their messages past the owner or mods then you
will be leaving the list with them immediately no questions asked.
Anytime a member has to be removed from the list under disciplinary actions they
are not allowed to return.
ATTACHMENTS:
Attachments are allowed on the list, if you have a pic you wish for
everyone to see you can upload it in the shared files or photo album area of our
list at the yahoogroups website. We do have a list just for attachments:
Pics4u@yahoogroups.com
PRIVACY:
We deal with very private parts of our lives here on the list and as such we ask
that you not forward any private material outside this list without the express
permission of the author. I try to keep this as closed a list as possible in
this area to protect the privacy of those on the list. I know it is not possible
to enforce this completely but I am trusting that you will abide by this rule if
you don't abide by anything else on this list. It could mean the difference in
someone's safety. In other words you have their life in your hands.
Also I do not want private topics of discussion here carried to other lists you
may be on, especially if VetWives™ member names are mentioned without permission.
Again this is hard to control but if it's being done eventually it will get back
to me. If you have a problem with something or someone on this list, DO NOT
discuss it on another list you may be a member of. What goes on here stays
here!!! If found to be violating any privacy rules set forth here you will
immediately be removed from the list without question.
Forwarding poems, urls, etc is ok, if in doubt please feel free to ask. And feel
free to tell others about our group. Mentioning VetWives on other lists as a
promotion is ok, but slandering members or posting their private information is
a gross violation of the rules. We do have a wonderful caring & giving group
here that will go out of their way to help anytime it's needed.
Forwarding of private material to anyone without permission is grounds for
immediate removal.
MISREPRESENTATION:
Most, if not all of you, know that I am very adamant about not allowing
reporters, thesis writers, etc here to analyze us or to use our experiences for
employment or monetary gain. If you are subbed to this list under false
pretenses I ask that you remove yourself immediately. If found out you will be
removed immediately from this list.
If you have subbed with a false identity, and have posted false information
about yourself to the list you will be removed immediately.
If you can not be open and honest with us then we can be of no help to you.
(example: pretending to be a vetwife when you are not; pretending to be dealing
with a veteran to gain information; resubbing under an assumed name after being
removed from this list.)
If you access this list through someone else’s email address and post to the
list via another’s email address and you are not a member yourself you are in
violation of the list rules and the person who is allowing you access via their
email address will be removed.
Any questions????
Feel free to contact me at any time for any reason. If you do not feel
comfortable talking to me or can't get hold of me please contact one of the
co-moderators of the list: Terri @ tmkc@gcnetmail.net; Marge @ carmar@acsalaska.net
