Guest guest Posted May 26, 2002 Report Share Posted May 26, 2002 Hello All: I do not want to have to put this list back on moderated; it takes up a lot of my time and I think it is much easier for you to be courteous than for me to approve every post? I have asked, and it is requested upon your admission to the group in the FAQ, that any advertisements for something that is paid for be run by me before it is posted. That includes products, services and classes OF ANY KIND. Do not assume that " it is okay " . I don't like people forwarding things willy nilly to my home email and I certainly don't appreciate them using this group as a free mailing list for their stuff. People have a right to get on topic mail that does not resemble the want ads when they are in a discussion group. It is very simple to send your requested post to -owner rather than the group and have me say " yea " or " nay " . If you have any questions about appropriate subject matter for the list, we generally discuss the kind of things listed in our list description on our home page at : That is all I'm going to say on the matter. Offenders, even people who may think they are being innocent, will be viewed as passive aggressive and moderated; if they persist they will be banned. Any member who is on " no mail " and posts an advertisement will be banned immediately. Thanks to those of you who are patient with this, we haven't had this issue in a while but we have quite a few new members. Thank you.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2002 Report Share Posted May 26, 2002 >That includes products, services and >classes OF ANY KIND. oops, that looks like my major gaff. It WAS totally innocent, not intended to create a problem, and it's certainly not making me any money. Hopefully, this doesn't disparage GeoTran in any way for my blunder. I cc'd this list because it recognized the mind/body connection, re: energy work. I'll return to lurk mode. Sorry, Moe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 26, 2002 Report Share Posted May 26, 2002 The main thing I would like to emphasize is that a discussion list is not a bulletin board. Cross posting is rude and often results in many people getting multiple copies of the same ads. It is therefore " spamming " . I don't know about you, but I don't like getting ten copies of something just because I happen to belong to ten similar lists. When someone sends me something to approve, I usually approve it, but I expect that respect ;-) I appreciate your " innocence " but as I said before, the list has been in operation for three years, and this has always been a requirement. I insist that advertisements be run by me. I am particular about what is posted here, not just for myself but for the over 600 people who belong to the list. I don't want anyone going into " lurk " , I just feel this is important enough to mention again since it has happened twice in two days. Pre-approval also includes plugging other lists here, which I'm sure you are all aware is a violation of TOS if enforced. Many people join a list on no mail, only to post ads or plugs and then quit, which is highly annoying. I'm fairly relaxed about that and don't push it, but I do get tired of people using the list members here as a repository for their cross posts and ads. Thanks.

Is it expected that it first be run by you if we (I) want to include a URL as a reference to a class our a course that I found useful or helpful in my journey to body-mind wholeness?

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2002 Report Share Posted May 26, 2002 That is usually fine. I think for the most part folks are aware when they are doing promotion and when they are simply sharing information that is helpful; all I ask is that they run the promotions by me first. In the long run it is easier for everyone when promotions are vetted by the list manager. I wouldn't be so touchy about it if we haven't had some problems with it in the past. I generally prefer that things that are promoted here are free, but I am aware that isn't always feasible. Thanks, Caroline > > I appreciate this but I also have one question.
