SunRay-Users mailing list rules
This is a summary of the SunRay-Users
charter and rules. Failure to adhere to these guidelines may result in
severe chastisement by the list maintainers and other list participants.
1. Official language for posting to
this list is English.
2. This list is NOT moderated! Every
message that is sent to the list will be passed on to every member of
the list.
3. Requests to have addresses added or
removed from the list should NOT be sent to the entire list. Instead,
addresses should be added or removed via the web page at
http://www.filibeto.org/mailman/listinfo/sunray-users
Similarly, test messages of any sort should not be sent to the list.
4. This list is intended to be a
quick-turnaround trouble shooting aid for those who use, administer and
manage Sun Ray systems. Its primary purpose is to provide the Sun Ray
users a quick source of information for usage and system management
problems.
5. All responses are to be mailed back to
the list. If however a member of the list chooses to send a reply back
to the person who originally asked the question, the latter can
summarize the answers and send the entire summary back to the list. When
a summary is sent back to the list, the word "SUMMARY" should be the
first word of the "Subject" line.
6. Messages not specifically related to
the Sun Ray system usage/management and to the Solaris Operating
Environment, then it does NOT belong on this list. Requests for vendor
recommendations are tolerated, provided that the hardware in question is
something that system managers normally purchase.
7. Commercial Advertising of any sort on
the list is strictly prohibited.
8. DO NOT send HTML e-mails to the
list - instead send plain text messages.
9. Postings about employment, either
employment sought or offered, are not permitted on this list. Please use
a more appropriate forum, e.g. one of the newsgroups in the misc.jobs
USENET hierarchy.
10. Requests for software (free or
otherwise) should be limited to software that is directly related to Sun
SYSTEM MANAGEMENT, SUN RAY SERVER SOFTWARE AND THE SOLARIS OPERATING
ENVIRONMENT ONLY.
11. Read the appropriate manuals BEFORE
posting, including the "Read This First" documents. Oftentimes the
manuals contain answers for common problems.
12. SunRay-Users is not to be used to
collect email addresses of people who manage Sun systems and work with
the Solaris Operating Environment. Those who do this not only violate
the list's policy, but risk seriously offending the very people they are
attempting to reach.
13. Think before you send a message! Ask
yourself "is this really appropriate?" There are enough other newsgroups
and mailing lists around to cover the marginal topics. Perhaps there is
another forum that is more appropriate? Additionally check for other Sun
specific newsgroups. Perhaps your message would be more appropriate
there?
Failure to adhere to these guidelines
may result in severe chastisement by the list participants. Not only
will you succeed in looking like a careless fool, and in making Sun
Systems Users all over the world annoyed at your incompetence, you may
end up damaging your professional reputation. |
