USNA57 Chat List Use Guidelines.

The USNA57 List provides a free, easy place where you can share ideas with classmates and their survivors. Classmates of all types and persuasions participate in our group, and sometimes their opinions may conflict with those of other members. Common courtesy and adherence to these guidelines will help our list to be a pleasant and meaningful experience for all hands. Please observe these pointers, and enjoy the list services provided:

1. Do not harass, abuse, or threaten other members. If a heated argument arises in our group, either ignore any unfair comments or respond in a way that doesn't fan the flames.

2. Do not post content that is obscene or otherwise objectionable.

3. Focus on topics of interest to our group.

4. Don't post copyrighted content without permission from the owner.

5. Ensure that all material content sent to the group is suitable for discussion in mixed company.

6. Do not use this list to promote commercial ventures or to forward chain letters.

7. Be careful in replying to postings to only include enough material to identify the question you are referring to. Respond to and reference individual messages not daily groupings. Keep forwarded prior messages (tails) to a minimum.

8. Do not use the "Reply" button in your responses to messages when you intend them for individuals. Use the individual's address and avoid offending other members

These are broad guidelines designed to ensure our One-List can be used by all hands in a free and unfettered fashion. Disregard of these guidelines may force restriction of privileges.

USNA57 List Guidelines have been reviewed and approved by our class officers and will be issued to all list One List members by the Class Webmaster upon their joining. A copy will be posted on the web site and all members will be notified of any changes. Recommendations for change should be submitted to the class Executive Council Committee via our Class Webmaster for consideration.
