===Mailing List Policy===

The [[MailingLists | mailing list]] has been created for the OpenNIC community as a means of communicating technical and non-technical discussions about OpenNIC. If you have any other questions, you may contact the list owners at [[discuss-request@lists.opennicproject.org]].

==Code of conduct==
When using the OpenNIC [[MailingLists | mailing list]], please follow these rules:

	- Do not send spam; see the advertising policy below.
	- Send all of your e-mails in English. Only use other languages on mailing lists where that is explicitly allowed.
	- Wrap your lines at 80 characters or less for ordinary discussion. Lines longer than 80 characters are acceptable for computer-generated output (e.g., ls -l).
	- Do not send automated out-of-office or vacation messages.
	- Do not send subscription or unsubscription requests to the list address itself; see [[MailingLists | instructions]] for managing your subscription.
	- Never send your messages in HTML; use plain text instead.
	- Avoid sending large attachments.
	- Do not quote messages that were sent to you by other people in private mail, unless agreed beforehand.
	- When replying to messages on the mailing list, do not send a carbon copy (CC) to the original poster unless they explicitly request to be copied.
	- If you send messages to lists to which you are not subscribed, always note that fact in the body of your message.
	- Do not use foul language.
	- Try not to flame; it is not polite.
	- Use common sense all the time

==Posting==

   (a) Don't quote 50 lines of text and add one line to it. Quote what is necessary to maintain context, but don't overdo it;

   (b) Keep your signatures and disclaimers short. It's no fun seeing signatures that are longer than your posts;

   (c) Please don't post in HTML format - it tends to annoy people who read with text mode clients

==Advertising==
Advertising on any OpenNIC related mailing list is prohibited. Any person sending such mails will be blocked from posting to any OpenNIC mailing list.

==Autoresponders==

Please make sure that if you do use an autoresponder, it's configured to not autorespond to list e-mail. If it does, your list membership will, in all probability, be suspended until it's fixed.
