Please take a few minutes to review this reminder about appropriate use of

the SFBAVEG mailing list. These actions are little, but they go a long ways

towards keeping this list as a vibrant, local community resource.

 

Summary: inappropriate posts, which include off-topic, anonymous,

inappropriate event notices or commercial uses of the SFBAVEG mailing list,

may be deleted without notice.

 

SFBAVEG is currently managed by a volunteer crew of four who do have full

time jobs and other responsibilities in their lives, so we do ask for your

support in maintaining the focus and value of SFBAVEG.

 

Thanks for your understanding and support.

1. SFBAVEG MAILING LIST

 

This mailing list is first & foremost a Bay Area community resource managed

by Bay Area Vegetarians -- not a place for folks to send all the nationwide

& international veggie & AR news or alerts. News or alerts with a local

slant are welcome.

 

Before posting any messages, please review the group Charter and full

posting guidelines. The charter provides information on Bay Area

Vegetarians and the SFBAVEG mailing list. If you are not able to access

the charter at the above URL, please contact -owner

 

The posting guidelines provide important information about using the SFBAVEG

mailing list.

Some key information to remember:

 

 

a) SIGNED POSTS

 

With over a thousand rs on this list, it's difficult to keep track

of who is who. So, to help us remember who we're talking or listening to, we

ask people to sign their posts. After all, we are a local list, and want to

maintain a friendly, community spirit, and be able to identify each other

when we do meet at actual events.

 

You can sign your post by typing your name after the body of your email.

Alternatively, if you do have your name included in the account information

for your email address, that'll also suffice (i.e. your name and email

address appears in the " From " section of the email headers).

 

Aliases are *not* acceptable. Please use your real name.

 

==> Only signed posts will be published.

 

 

b) EVENT POSTS

 

Please remember only non-profit events related to vegetarianism, animal

welfare or animal advocacy may be posted. And, if food is involved in these

activities, it must be vegan or vegetarian.

 

We are a vegetarian organization and cannot condone or indirectly promote

the suffering and slaughter of animals by promoting events that are not

vegetarian. The individual posting the event notice is responsible to note

whether food is involved, and if so, include whether it is vegan or

vegetarian.

 

Due to the volume of posts on SFBAVEG, please post your event only once

(this restriction does not apply to Bay Area Vegetarians events). You are

also welcome to submit your event to our website calendar

 

==> Only vegetarian/AR events and activities will be published.

 

For more info, please review the Charter and Posting Guidelines

c) MAILING LIST ETIQUETTE

 

When replying to posts, please include only the relevant portion of the

original email. This improves the readability of your message, especially

for digest rs, who receive one email that is a daily compilation of

all the individual messages. When these messages are in fact replies

containing the preceding earlier message(s), it gets very convoluted to

read, unnecessarily large, and typically people will miss your response.

 

Please also keep subject lines relevant to your post. If you're a digest

r, please replace the generic ' digest' label with a

relevant topic.
