>>> THE OFFICIAL A.A.P.C. GUIDELINES & FAQS
>>>
>>> INTRODUCTION:
>>>
>>> Welcome to the Usenet group alt.arts.poetry.comments, or a.a.p.c.
>>> Usenet is an unmoderated platform and does not have any hard and fast
>>> rules.
>>>
>>> However, a.a.p.c. is also a group. And as in any group, there are
>>> certain behaviors that are considered to be polite, and others that
>>> are considered to be downright rude.
>>>
>>> The Guidelines (below) are being offered as advice to members who are
>>> interested in treating their fellow members in a polite, considerate,
>>> and even friendly manner.
>>>
>>> Trolls and other inconsiderate boors are free to skip and ignore them.
>>>
>>> 1) Treat other members with some semblance of civility. Like generates
>>> like. If you treat others with a little respect, they’ll probably
>>> return the favor.
>>>
>>> 2) Post On-Topic. The topic here is Poetry, so post an original poem
>>> or comment on someone else’s poetry. If you want to discuss folk
>>> music, “Star Trek,” comic books or post videos of the
>“talent”
>>> at your local karaoke bar, you’re in the wrong group.
>>>
>>> 3) Don’t over post. Limiting one’s posts to 10 per day
>is greatly
>>> appreciated. Making 25 posts per day can be damned annoying; so unless
>>> you’re the most interesting and knowledgeable writer on the planet,
>>> save it for your personal blog. 4) Don’t hijack other people’s
>>> threads. If a thread’s topic is “Walt Whitman,”
>you should only
>>> make a comment pertaining to Walt Whitman. If you wish to discuss a
>>> poem you’ve written that was inspired by Mr. Whitman, start your own
>>> thread.
>>>
>>> 5) Flame wars happen " especially in unmoderated groups like this one.
>>> However, there are certain lines that no one should ever cross.
>>> Don’t attack your opponent’s family members (unless he/she
>>> introduces them into the discussion). And remember that what happens
>>> on AAPC stays at AAPC. Don’t threaten to contact your
>opponent’s
>>> spouse, employer, etc.
>>>
>>> 6) Don’t repeat or bump posts. If you post an original poem and no
>>> one comments on it… tough cookies. Lack of response means that no
>>> one found it interesting enough to warrant one. If you must repost it,
>>> at least have the decency to wait a year or seven. While you’re
>>> waiting you can write something new and try posting it instead.
>>> Similarly, if you must bump, please limit yourself to one bump per
>>> poem or post.
>>>
>>> Also, any comment that contains "again" should not be sent. If it is,
>>> then the poster should get a good thrashing (again and again and
>>> again).
>>>
>>> *Seasonal poems, however, can be bumped/reposted each year.
>>>
>>> 7) Don’t respond to a post unless you have something of value to
>>> contribute to the thread. One word replies, and generic responses such
>>> as "I agree" and "yep" and "You nailed it" and "having another read"
>>> should be avoided. Comments mean comments, not clichés.
>>>
>>> 8 ) Don’t post and run. If you post a famous poem, make an original
>>> comment on it. We all have, or are capable of subscribing to, Poem a
>>> Day. We don’t need to read (or reread) every single poem that you
>>> do. If you like a poem, but can’t think of anything to say about it,
>>> don’t post it.
>>>
>>> 9) Don’t feed the trolls. Restricting the trolls' food intake won't
>>> make them go away, but it will thwart their efforts to start, and
>>> maintain, flame wars. It takes two sides to have a battle.
>>>
>>> 10) No AI critiques of poems, no AI poems unless labeled as
>>> AI-written. This is a writers' group, after all, so let's leave no
>>> doubt as to what is our original content, and what is AI-generated.
>>>
>>> 11) Always cite the author of a poem. Plagiarism will not be
>>> tolerated. Poems not crediting the original author will be deleted.
>>>
>>> 12) Links should only be posted if they are a) on topic, and b) the
>>> media platform that they lead to cannot be uploaded to A.A.P.C. (a
>>> video). Links to a member's magazine, book, website, blog, etc. are
>>> allowed, but should be accompanied by a brief message (such as "Please
>>> check out my latest publication").
>>>
>>> 13) Do not snip or post-edit any statements quoted in the backthread
>>> that you're responding to. No one likes having their statements
>>> altered; and writers like it even less. If you cannot address what
>>> someone else said -- without first altering their words -- you should
>>> just STFU.
>>>
>>> 14) An attack on friends/family members is considered unwarranted when
>>> these individuals have not been introduced into the thread by the
>>> member who is friends with/related to them. Parody and Satire are
>>> legitimate literary genres, and if a poem being lampooned contains a
>>> reference to the poet's wife, then the latter would be fair game so
>>> long as the parodist keeps within the limits implied by the original
>>> poem.
>>>
>>> 15) There should be no censorship on Usenet. A.A.P.C. is a Usenet
>>> group, and crybabies who whine about having received negative comments
>>> are mocked accordingly. Had you followed the Guidelines and treated
>>> others with a semblance of civility, they wouldn't have made any
>>> offensive posts about you.
>>>
>>>
>>> *Usenet AAPC is not a moderated group, and no one is being forced to
>>> follow the Guidelines.
>>>
>>>
>>> FAQs:
>>>
>>> 1. WHAT IS AAPC?
>>> Alt.arts.poetry.comments is a Usenet group of poets who share their
>>> work for comments or critiques. Some poets use the group as a sounding
>>> board before submitting their poem(s) to literary magazines. Most are
>>> looking for advice or help in fine-tuning their writing, developing
>>> better images, improving their use of language, and making sure their
>>> writing is clear and enjoyable to the reader.
>>>
>>> 2. WHAT DOES C&C MEAN?
>>> Generally, Comments & Critiques (or Criticism). Some writers put this
>>> in the header of their post (i.e. "Lazy Day Poem - C&C Please") to
>>> indicate that they want comments on their poem. However, since the
>>> group is devoted to comments, most posts will receive a reply of some
>>> kind even without the C&C designation.
>>>
>>> 3. HOW SHOULD I POST MY POETRY?
>>> There are no cut-and-dried rules for posting poetry to AAPC. However,
>>> there are a few "don'ts" that are fairly broadly agreed upon:
>>> -- Do not post your poem as an attachment to your message. Most
>>> internet users are aware that dangerous computer viruses can be
>>> contained in Microsoft Word documents, and will ignore .doc
>>> attachments. In general, it is easier on the reader to include the
>>> poem in the body of the post; downloading and opening attachments
>>> usually takes too much time.
>>> -- Do not post using HTML. Some newsgroup-reading software cannot
>>> handle HTML posts, and some automatically reject them, so not everyone
>>> will see your post. They also are larger in size and take up more
>>> space on the computer and more bandwidth in transmission. Most
>>> software used to read and post newsgroups allows you to choose between
>>> posting as plain text or HTML; choose the plain text option.
>>> -- Do not attach pictures (binaries, gifs, jpegs, etc.) or sound files
>>> (wavs, midis, mpegs, etc.) to your posts. Again, some news servers
>>> will automatically reject them, so not everyone will see your post.
>>> -- Do not type your poem or message in all capital letters. Using all
>>> caps is universally considered "shouting" in newsgroups and chat
>>> rooms.
>>>
>>> 4. HOW MANY POEMS SHOULD I POST AT A TIME?
>>> While there is no limit to the number of poems you can post at a
>>> sitting, people are most likely to read and respond to your poem if
>>> you post no more than two or three at a time. And as mentioned above,
>>> since there are many poems posted each day, a shorter work is more
>>> likely to receive comments.
>>>
>>> 5. WHAT KIND OF HEADER SHOULD I USE?
>>> Use the title of the poem, if it has one. If you can't decide on a
>>> title, try a header like: "Need a Title..." to let the reader know
>>> you'd appreciate comments on that subject. If it is your first
>>> poem-post, it is fine to use the header "First Poem" or "First Post".
>>> Do not use headers designed strictly to get attention, and it is
>>> preferable not to use headers that have nothing to do with your poem.
>>>
>>> 6. DO I HAVE TO HAVE A TITLE FOR MY POEM?
>>> Not necessarily - see #5.
>>>
>>> 7. DO I HAVE TO WRITE A CERTAIN KIND OF POETRY?
>>> AAPC has poets who use all forms and styles of poetry. The group
>>> includes but is not limited to free verse, tanka, haiku, sonnet,
>>> sestina.... Feel free to use the poetic form you are most comfortable
>>> with, or to post experiments in forms. There are several poets who are
>>> quite knowledgeable and can help you with the rules of certain poetic
>>> forms.
>>>
>>> 8. WHAT IF I DON'T GET ANY COMMENTS?
>>> There could be several reasons for the lack of comments. Most likely
>>> it is because the group is following the old rule: "If you can't say
>>> nothin' nice, don't say nothin' at all." The readers might not have
>>> understood your poem or liked it. Sometimes posts are ignored because
>>> of too much bad spelling, grammar or punctuation, which can distract
>>> the reader from the content of the poem and make it frustrating to get
>>> through.
>>> Check your post again; look for typos, correct any errors that you
>>> find, and repost it in a few days with the note that it has been
>>> revised. It is an (until now) unspoken rule, though, that it is best
>>> to read the group for a few days, contribute some comments of your
>>> own, then post your poem once people have noticed you and gotten to
>>> know you. Many readers are more comfortable commenting when they've
>>> seen you around for awhile and know that you are interested in what
>>> they have to say. Also, consider the length of your post. Since there
>>> are many poems posted every day, a shorter work is more likely to
>>> receive comments.
>>>
>>> 9. SHOULD I RESPOND TO THE COMMENTS I RECEIVE?
>>> Definitely! Even if you don't agree with the comment, it is a courtesy
>>> to make a brief response to show you appreciated the time taken to
>>> read and reply to your poem. If you repeatedly do not respond to
>>> comments on your work, you may find that readers stop commenting
>>> altogether.
>>>
>>> 10. WHEN AND HOW SHOULD I COMMENT ON OTHER PEOPLE'S POSTS?
>>> All posts are open to comments. Feel free to point out what
>>> specifically you liked about the poem: what lines, images, words did
>>> you find particularly interesting or captivating? At the same time,
>>> you can also point out any changes you feel might enhance the poem. If
>>> you feel a word in a certain place is awkward, feel free to comment on
>>> it and suggest a suitable replacement word if you can. It isn't
>>> necessary to give a detailed commentary on each poem, though; in
>>> general, the poet will appreciate knowing you read the poem, so a few
>>> words to indicate you read and enjoyed it are always nice.
>>>
>>> 11. IS IT OK TO EMAIL MY COMMENTS DIRECTLY TO THE POET?
>>> This is usually a matter of personal preference. If you have become
>>> familiar with the poet through other posts to the newsgroup, it is
>>> generally acceptable. If you do not know the person, they may ignore
>>> your email, so it is preferable to post to the group.
>>>
>>> 12. CAN I REWRITE SOMEONE'S POEM FOR THEM?
>>> If you feel comfortable doing so, the poet will usually appreciate the
>>> effort involved. Rewriting sections or giving comments on specific
>>> lines are welcome as well.
>>>
>>> 13. DO YOU HAVE IRC CHATS OR OTHER SCHEDULED GATHERINGS?
>>> Not as of this writing (February 1999). There is a semi-official AAPC
>>> chat room but it has never been used for a formal AAPC chat. There has
>>> also been some banter on having a picnic in the summer of 1999, but no
>>> volunteer hosts as of yet.
>>>
>>> 14. ARE THERE ANY AAPC-RELATED WEB SITES?
>>> Many of the poets have their own sites, and most list them in their
>>> signature files or post notices of updates to the newsgroup.
>>>
>>> 15. ARE THERE ANY PUBLISHED / FAMOUS / INFAMOUS POETS IN THE GROUP?
>>> Depends on who you ask! The vast majority of the poets have had some
>>> of their work published. Some are published widely in anthologies and
>>> well-respected poetry journals. No one has made a million from their
>>> poetry, but we have our suspicions on who will be famous someday.
>>>
>>> 16. DO POETRY EDITORS READ THE NEWSGROUP?
>>> Some participants are editors of poetry journals, both on-line and
>>> print. Quite possibly there are other editors who "lurk" (read but
>>> don't post).
>>>
>>> 17. MIGHT I BE OFFERED A BOOK CONTRACT BY POSTING MY POETRY HERE?
>>> Not likely. If you are, be very suspicious of it.
>>>
>>> 18. WHAT IS CONSIDERED "OFF-TOPIC"?
>>> Poets by their nature enjoy tangents. You'll see a lot of threads
>>> beginning with a poem and going off in a sometimes bizarre, completely
>>> unrelated direction.
>>> By and large, keep your original posts (not part of an existing
>>> thread) limited to your own poetry, or questions about poetry.
>>>
>>> 19. DO I HAVE TO USE MY REAL NAME?
>>> Internet handles are okay, many regulars use them. To build
>>> familiarity, stick to the same one, or use your real name.
