--s-URJH5afnEWWIfQjHNuFMbIPLVtor6gra69sCi Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Spielfrieks Etiquette The Spielfrieks list is one of the largest forums for the discussion of German-style (aka designer) games. Here are a few tips and some general guidelines designed to keep Spielfrieks an enjoyable and useful forum. 1. Try to keep the subject line in tune with the content of your message. If you reply to one email but the subject starts to drift, please change the subject line to reflect the new topic. This makes it much easier for those reading to filter on the subjects that interest them most. 2. Cut down on unnecessary quoted text (text from the person you are replying to). This is especially true of the boiler-plate Spielfrieks material that is appended to every posted message. It's hard to read these messages with lots of extra quoted text - especially in digest mode. The number of messages is so great that not everyone can keep up - so please be judicious in cutting out text in replies. 3. Please use www.tinyurl.com or another URL-shortening service when posting long links. Many email programs will split long URLs, making the links unworkable without some annoying cut-and-paste work. 4. If the number of messages is too large for you, go into digest mode where you receive one message a couple times each day containing a digest of all posts. You get the same information, but slightly delayed. There is also web-based browsing of the group where you can read the messages online (and get no emails). You can configure this at the Spielfrieks homepage (see below - use the Edit My Membership option from the Spielfrieks homepage). If you are in email mode, most good email clients allow you to filter your incoming messages and file them away in a folder different from your inbox. You can easily search on the word [spielfrieks] which appears in every message from the list and use that to trigger storing your messages in a convenient folder for later viewing. Another option is to view the messages at http://news.gmane.org/gmane.games.spielfrieks 5. For posts which are off topic, please use "[OT]" in the subject line (without quotes) to make it easier for those of us filtering content based on subject lines. We also recommend the tags [SR] for session reports and [SA] for session announcements. 6. Speaking of off-topic posts... Please keep these to a minimum. General game discussion is fine but the list is large enough that off-topic comments (even if short) can overpower and bury the reader as they might not have time to read everything. Posting short semi-off-topic or humorous follow-ups to messages is OK - but be absolutely sure to cut down on the original post as much as possible to keep the read-time short for others. 7. For sale/trade/etc. posts are okay on Spielfrieks, as long as they follow the Spielfrieks "For Sale" posting guidelines -- see http://groups.yahoo.com/group/spielfrieks/files/For_Sale_Policy.txt for more details. You may also want to consider posting such items to the "classified ads" of the Spielfrieks community, Spielfrieks-marketplace http://groups.yahoo.com/group/spielfrieks-marketplace/). WARNING: caveat emptor - "let the buyer beware". (We cannot and do not guarantee any sales, aggreements, etc., made here, so take care.) Use the tag "[FS]" (without the quotes) in all for sale postings. 8. ***NOTE*** Spirited debates are encouraged and welcome, but blatant rudeness, uncivil language, or disrespect in any form will not be tolerated and may result in removal or (in extreme cases) banishment from the group. Count this as a firm but gentle warning, as the moderators of the group prefer to work things out rather than to resort to such extreme measures. 9. "Get rich quick" schemes, chain letters, and any other such outright spam is NEVER welcome. The moderators reserve the right to immediately remove and ban any member who spams the group in this way. Taking the time to read and understand these simple guidelines will make reading the Spielfrieks list more enjoyable for everyone. Thanks!
