[ RadSafe ] As a refresher: RadSafe Rules

[Marcel Schouwenburg]

RadSafe Rules (both general as technical)

________________________________________________________________________
[RadSafe Home]

[Version January 2007] Subject to change when applicable (without prior
notice).

General rules 


  * The list is open to all points of view on radiation protection
    issues.
  * The language used on the list is English.
  * Include a clear and specific subject line.
  * Edit any quoted text down to the minimum.
  * Read your own message three times before you post it to RadSafe.
  * When posting to the list include at least your full name and
    preferrably, if applicable, address, professional details, etc.
  * Do not curse, flame, spam, USE ALL CAPS or use only lower case.
  * (At least) Try to ponder how recipients might react to your message.
  * Check spelling and grammar. However, since RadSafe is an
    international list, please understand that a large group of members
    are non-native English speakers (like the moderator), so don't be to
    harsh on this.
  * When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific
    than "Re: Contents of radsafe digest ... and - rather than enclose
    an entire article that you quote only the germane sentence to which
    you're responding".
  * When in doubt, save your message overnight and reread it in the
    light of dawn.
  * Do not forward any chain letter.
  * Do not use the list for any illegal or unethical purpose.
  * That which you find hateful to receive, do not send out to the list.
  * Commercial postings and advertisements are not allowed.
  * Job postings will be accepted (both seeking and advertising).
  * "Not for profit" groups are allowed to advertise, i.e. training
    courses, etc. that are paid for.

Technical rules and aspects

  * RadSafe is a closed list. Posting is only possible by members.
    Posting by non-members will be moderated by the moderator (Marcel
    Schouwenburg) and, when rejected, send back to the poster
    accompanied by a reason for the rejection.
  * Only plain text messages will be accepted by the list. Any code
    (HTML, etc) will be filtered out.
  * Attachments are not allowed because of security reasons, except
    PDF-files. To send images with a message, please convert them to a
    PDF-file. Other image formats will be filtered out.
  * The maximum message size is 40 kB. Larger messages should be split
    up in multiple parts. Include a number in the subjectline of every
    part (e.g. 2/3).
  * If you want to reply to the list you should use the option Reply All
    in your mail program. When using Reply the mail will only be sent to
    the original sender of the message.
  * Do not use BCC to sent a message to RadSafe (this is an implicit
    address). Only To and CC are allowed (explicit addresses) when
    sending a message to RadSafe.
  * If a message from RadSafe is bounced from your email address for
    more than 5 times, your subscription will be temporary suspended.
  * Once a month a password reminder is sent to every listmember. Using
    this password, you can change settings of your subscription on your
    personal memberpage. For example: you can choose to hold your
    subscription for a while in case of a holiday or change to receive
    digest versions in stead of separate messages.
  * Digest versions can be received in either MIME or plain text format
    (that is all messages in one big text file). Default for new members
    is plain text.
  * Out of the office messages will be filtered out.
  * When referring to a document, program, etc. include the link to this
    file whenever possible.
  * If necessary, the RadSafe moderator (Marcel Schouwenburg) will
    provide storage space on the radlab.nl server for large files,
    documents, etc. that might be of interest to listmembers.
    Copyrighted material is excluded. The moderator will take into
    consideration all requests for storage on the server. However, only
    material related to RadSafe matters will be allowed.
