Use of Flying Bats Yahoo! Email Group

This policy was discussed at a recent committee meeting and has been approved by the committee.

Background

Our Yahoo group now has almost 200 members. It is our primary means of communication both from the committee to club members and between members. All club announcements are sent out via this mailing list.

Members of the group expect the club to protect them from spam and unnecessary email. High levels of traffic are annoying and lead members to unsubscribe from the group.

That said, the committee would like to encourage people to get involved and use the mailing list to get in touch with other players. It is not our intention to discourage people from posting.

All messages ARE available publicly on the internet via the yahoo groups website. Therefore anything potentially damaging to the club should not be posted.

This policy is an attempt to set out acceptable and unacceptable uses of the email group. Naturally it is open to interpretation, so in cases of dispute the club committee will make the final decision.

All messages to the group are moderated to ensure the above principles are adhered to.

Acceptable Use

Acceptable use of the e-group covers the following:

Unacceptable Use

Unacceptable use is most things not covered by the above. Some forms of unacceptable use include:

If you are not sure about a post please contact the webmistress to discuss.

The webmistress will serve as the first line of decision making in relation to the above. If their decision is not to a member's liking then either the president or committee can adjudicate.
