Acceptable User Policy & Statement. 
The list owner, editor and moderators  of Remote Support Medics Online

Hi Folks, 
As the list and site grow from strength to strength, and we gather new members from
varied backgrounds, we thought it prudent to issue this statement to ensure the continued
good nature and high quality of the postings presented on the list. Ross and myself have
discussed the matter and want to make it clear that whilst neither of us want to lay
down rules, we do want to insure that list continues in same manner in which it has so far. 

Therefore I would like to remind you of the following points, when using the Remote Support Medics List; 

1. Abusive behaviour or slander      
The nature of the list encourages debate; along with this a certain amount of friendly banter
and Mickey taking will undoubtedly be present. This is only natural and something we encourage 
which is good. However personal abuse and directed foul language and or nasty and abusive 
comments will result in the sender being removed from the list and their details shared with other
list owners. 

2. No 'them and us' threads. 
Many other similar lists have dissolved into endless and unresolved arguments about private, 
public, military and voluntary services, generally about who has the right to use what title etc.
Please help us by nipping these pointless debates in the bud early. Repeated them and us 
postings will result in the sender having all their postings moderated before being released 
to the list. Second offensives of the above will again result in the senders' removal from the list. 

3. Spamming 
The list is a closed list and members are vetted or subscribed on trial. Therefore any spam has
to come from within. It is fair play to advertise course places, second hand equipment, relevant
job vacancies and related sites etc. Even a subtle mention  of what you do and who you work for
as part of your signature are acceptable.  Providing it is relevant to the Remote Medic field.
We will however not tolerate get rich schemes, email address CDs, irrelevant products and services etc,
and especially pornography. Remember many of the members will receive the list messages via their 
employers email service and as such are subject to their companies IT and disciplinary procedures. 

At the end of the day, the list owner, editor and moderator do not want to act as policemen, however
for the protection of the majority and the continued goodwill of the list we must have an acceptable user 
policy. We want to protect the value of the group for all members current and future. If you have 
any questions regarding the list and its use please feel free to contact us one of us directly. 
Thank you for your time and consideration, 

Ian Sharpe - Listowner 
Ross Boardman - Editor
