CENTRAL PHOENIX DISCUSSION LIST SERVE

What is the Central Phoenix Discussion List Serve:

       This is an automated mailing list, or List server, which allows you to exchange e-mail messages automatically with others who have subscribed to the list.

In order to take part, you have to join (add link to join here) and you have to accept that e-mail will be sent to you via the list. This can be a great place for discussion, but by joining, you agree to be a part of a community, accept the rules, the messages, and the occasional controversial idea.

       We believe this list serve is a great "entry point" into the Coronado Neighborhood Community, for those who have just moved into the area or those who are just interested in becoming actively involved in the area. There are no membership or fee requirements to join.

      You will be getting e-mail from people you do not know.  Please do not join if you do not understand what this list is for.  However, if you're ready to be part of a vibrant exchange of ideas, please read our rules and guidelines, and then join the fun!

What is this LIST FOR?

       This list is intended primarily for those interested in the Greater Coronado Neighborhood. The I-10 North to Thomas, and 7th Street East to the 51. This is one of the places to get neighborhood announcements. The neighborhood newspaper, The Dispatch and GCNA General Meetings on the first Thursday of the month, are other resources of information. The GCNA does regularly post information on this site but is not liable for the content of the discussion list. We encourage the participation of individuals outside of the boundary areas who may share similar interests.  This is a place to have fun, get help, and share opinions, as we specify in the guidelines below. If at any time you decide to leave this community, you can unsubscribe just by selecting the link which appears on every message.

What are the GUIDELINES?

      You must read to them and agree to them before you can join. This list is a cooperative project, which has graciously donated space on the server for this list and is helping administer it.

     PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND THESE RULES:

     1. While we encourage the free exchange of ideas, we discourage the use of insulting language, profanity, or obscenity. If you need to be less than polite to your fellow neighbor please spare the rest of us and reply privately.  If you insist on using this type of language you will receive private e-mails requesting you discontinue.  We will fight for the rights of all to use and enjoy this discussion group without hesitation.  So, write well and play nice.

      2. This list serve is open to all topics.  We encourage discussions and questions; we discourage messages on topics guaranteed to inflame. The simple use of common sense goes a long way

.

                A.  We prohibit messages which discriminate against or disparage anyone based on race, religion, gender, national origin, ethnicity, sexual orientation, age, physical characteristics or handicap.

                B.  We prohibit messages which discuss or support software piracy, obscenity, or any other criminal act.

       3. By accepting a subscription you acknowledge that it is possible material you might find objectionable may find its way to your mailbox. Your use of the service constitutes your acceptance of that mail, and you agree to hold us harmless for the content of any mail transmitted as part of this list. If you disagree with this policy, please unsubscribe now.

        4. The opinions expressed on this list are those of the authors of each e-mail and not necessarily ours. Any technical or buying advice given as part of this list should be seen as opinion, and any action taken on the basis of that opinion is accepted as your own risk.

        5. We ask that you exercise caution and personal responsibility when posting. Remember that any e-mail that is posted to this list is sent to everyone that subscribes.  For your own safety and security, you should keep personal information at a minimum, or send a private message, and always assume that a less than well intentioned person may be reading.

You agree to:

         A.  Be polite in all posts to this list, and if you need to be less than polite, make your reply a private message to the person with whom you have issues. This list serve is set up so that the default is set to reply to the sender, not the entire list. If you wish to send to the entire list, you will need to perform the extra step and click "reply to all".  This allows you to think twice before sending to the entire list of subscribers, giving you the time necessary to establish if your message is appropriate for the entire neighborhood to view.  It also keeps threads that may not be of interest beyond the first few responses from filling your in-box (You will still receive the first post so you will not miss anything you may desire to explore).

         B. Never post "Unsubscribe" messages to the list. It's not needed and it's unfair to the others.

         C.  Never post "spam" messages to the list.

         D.  The maximum allowable space to post is 1MB.  Your e-mail will be rejected if you post above this limit.

         E.  Using this list to "mine" e-mails for use other that its purpose is inappropriate and prohibited.

F.      This list is self moderating.  If you have a problem with someone's post to the serve please send them a private suggestion, and attempt to refrain from inflammatory public reprimands.

G.     You agree not to forward to the list serve, private messages that were intended to remain private and not posted to the list serve. This will be considered inflammatory posting in all cases.

H.   Images and Attachments.  You are welcome to add images and attachments to your posts.     However, please be aware that subscribers to the digest format will not see the images.  Attachments are not included in the digest.  

J.    Please “trim” your posts.  Many of our subscribers receive your messages in the digest format and must scroll down each full post to see the all messages.  Including lengthy thread histories discourages subscribers from reading the entire digest. If the poster is responding to a digest message then they should delete the entire digest.  If they want to delete everything except the message to which they are responding, that's fine, but that's a lot of effort. If the poster is responding to an individual message with a lengthy thread history, they can delete all but the immediate message to which they are responding.  Of course they don't even have to include that. Digesters personally like to see the previous message included as a point of reference.

This List Serve Is Self Moderated:

We invite you and encourage “you” to self-moderate your incoming mail. If you desire to moderate your incoming mail do so with "your" delete button and filters, which you can set as preferences on your computer. This list serve empowers you to do so because of the following rules: Persons are allowed one e-mail address (you know from whom the e-mail originates). You are not permitted to change the subject in a thread (you know what thread you want to delete).  This provision allows each person to be their own moderator, customizing their interaction on the list serve without interfering with the customization of others. This avoids the need for someone reaching the delete button on “your” personal computer and making those personal decisions on your behalf.

       Your use of this list signifies your acceptance of these simple rules, as well as to any other rules of usage which may be added or amended from time to time. If you use common sense, a little courtesy, and a sense of humor, this list will be a benefit to everyone.

     Thanks for joining our online community.

      Enjoy, and help it grow!
