Watford Mailing List - Guidelines for Subscribers

Most of the time, WML functions very happily as a large, informal and varied discussion, where wit, humour and disagreement is welcomed. Very occasionally however, there is some need to co-ordinate the hundreds of voices that form the community so that our mailboxes are not filled with abuse and trivia every day. That is the purpose of these broad guidelines which form the basis for WAG's occasional interventions.

  1. The List does not tolerate spam, blatant attempts to incite an argument, flaming or abuse. Please avoid swearing in messages to WML. Use ast*r*sks if you want to express the strength of your feelings. Gratuitous swearing is banned and will incur a yellow card in the first instance.
  2. Do not attempt to impersonate anyone. Emails must have your name as the author, or be signed, or you must be prepared to give your name to WAG.
  3. Impersonation of any member of Watford staff, players, directors or former staff members will be met with an instant Red Card.
  4. If you are asked by someone acting for WAG to take a thread off-list or to apologise for something, you must comply or accept any punishment that WAG deems justified.
  5. If you are unsure whether something should be sent to WML, send it to wagml@wfc.net first.
  6. Although OCCASIONAL non-WFC related messages may be acceptable, WAG reserves the right to warn individual listees off if abuse is suspected. All requests of a commercial or charitable nature must be submitted to WAG for approval before sending to the list.
  7. Subscribers may be moderated at any time at the list owner's discretion.
  8. Libellous comments are not permitted. You are responsible for your own postings. See the libel page for more information.

Discipline

Fortunately, the list is almost always a friendly and co-operative community, so disciplinary cases are rare. WAG may take one of three courses of action:

1) Warning from WAG.

2) Yellow Card - suspension from posting to or receiving WML for 7 days. A yellow card remains on file for six months.

3) Red Card - membership withdrawn permanently.

Appeals Procedure

Appeals must be made within 24 hours by emailing wagml@wfc.net. Appeals are reviewed by WAG and decided by vote.

Netiquette on the Watford List

  1. Save this document for future reference.
  2. Observe the list before posting.
  3. Quote only relevant parts of previous messages.
  4. ALL CAPS = SHOUTING.
  5. Always cite sources.
  6. Keep arguments civil.
  7. Do not speak on behalf of the entire list.
  8. Consult WAG before writing articles based on WML.
  9. Do not disclose personal information not in the public domain without consent.

One more thing.

Messages you send to WML are permanently forwarded. YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR MESSAGES SENT FROM YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS.

Neither WAG nor any other entity takes responsibility for what you write. Please read the libel section.
