Mailing List Policy
Code of conduct
When using the OpenNIC mailing lists, 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; use the respective -request address instead.
- 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- Do not quote messages that were sent to you by other people in private mail, unless agreed beforehand.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
- Never top post, and always snip irrelevant content from replies.
