ADMIN: Through the trapdoor.. a reminder of our rules

[Neil Ward]

Hi everyone,

Ahem!   If I may, another ickle reminder about our list rules...

If you are new to the list, please, please, please read this and your life
will be greatly enriched (well, perhaps not, but you may learn a thing or
two).


****WHERE TO POST

This list (ref. the main list) is for discussion of the Harry Potter books only.  The Harry Potter books are those thick, papery things with words inside and the name J K Rowling located somewhere on the cover.  You cant miss em.

Meanwhile, all HP movie-related discussion or comments must go to our Movie
list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPFGU-Movie

Off-topic topics, or threads once they become OT, should, without exception,
be posted to our OT
Chatter list:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPFGU-OTChatter

If you want to announce something, rather than discuss it (a news item, a
new website, a new merchandise item, a new fanfic chapter etc.) please send
your message to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPFGU-Announcements


****HOW TO AVOID HOWLERS

If you havent done so yet, please read the Netiquette Tips file in our
Admin folder, and take a look through the other files there:
www.hpfgu.org.uk/admin

One line posts are discouraged.  If you have several short things to say,
please combine them into a single post, noting the various subjects in the
header (this  that- a bit of the other);

Consider sending private emails (or using OT Chatter) with personal/review
comments aimed at only one or two people ("I loved your post..," etc), if
that's all you want to say;

If you have questions about the lists themselves, or technical enquiries,
that aren't answered by the various files,  please contact the moderators
(see bottom of message for addresses) or, if youre new enough to have been
elfed, your List Elf.  Please don't post such questions on this list;


****MAKING THINGS EASIER TO READ

Please remember to label posts accurately (especially those of you on
Digest).  For example "A question" or "Re: Digest 666" are not acceptable
headings.  Also, you must use the designated prefixes for certain topics: FF
(fanfic), SHIP (relationshipping).

If you are responding to a long message, please be kind to the rest of us
and snip out the bits of the original that aren't needed (noting the
original author).  Otherwise your excellent comments may be lost in the
mess.  On the other hand, remember to include *something* in the body of the
email that indicates what it is youre replying to.

Magically yours,

Neil
