A: Good question. We are strong believers in freedom
of
speech and would like to keep this list unmoderated.
However, if people post whatever they feel like that has
no
Creed related content, then the list becomes a burden for
most
people who are here to discuss the band. We ask that you
make
an effort to keep discussions Creed related. Generally
speaking,
think before you post something to the list. Ask yourself
whether
you would get up in front of an audience of hundreds of
people
and read it to them. As the list administrators, we have a duty
to
keep the list a pleasant place for Creed fans. Therefore there
are
a few things that you should not post to the list; doing so
may
result in being removed from the list at our
discretion:
1. No chain letters. This includes almost any piece of
mail
asking you to forward it to as many of your friends as
possible.
These are often requests to help some poor dying child by
granting their wish that they receive the most emails ever
and
the Red Cross will donate money for every email sent. This
story (and all stories like it) are hoaxes. You're welcome
to
believe it if you want, but don't post those messages to the
list!
Also, please do not post virus warnings or SPAM of any
sort.
2. Threatening or abusive flames of people will not be
tolerated.
Keep that to personal email! Flames of people's opinions are
fine
(feel free to attack an idea or opinion, but not the
person).
3. No posting of any binary attachments, which include
pictures
(bmp, jpg, gif etc.) and audio files. These posts will be
rejected
by the list server.
4. Do not forward private emails to
the list without the original
author's consent.
5. Make your messages count.
Subscribers aren't here to read
witty, one line, musically irrelevant comments to some
thread.
Try to trim quoted passages as best you can, and avoid
posting
in anything other than plain text. Posting wholly in HTML
is
unacceptable, since many subscriber's email windows will
not
display it properly. Sigs (signatures) are of course,
acceptable,
but should not be longer than the last essay you wrote for
English
class.
