List Rules
1. Be Circumspect
The AICAFMHA Information and Discussion lists are public forums and open to anyone who
wishes to participate worldwide. Do not share any information you would not normally share
with a large group or in a public place because it may embarrass someone or have negative
repercussions. In particular, ensure client confidentiality is safeguarded at all times.
2. Use Netiquette
We welcome a diversity of ideas and viewpoints, but please ensure that all posts are
written in a way that you would be comfortable in saying to someone face to face. Derogatory comments or defaming information will result in posted messages being deleted
prior to circulation. For
further information on netiquette, please refer to Virginia Shea's book. (http://www.albion.com/netiquette/book/index.html
).
3. Respect the purpose of the lists
Each list has a specific audience and purpose, this is outlined in each lists information page.
It would greatly assist list moderation if only topics of relevance to the particular list
are posted. Cross posting (sending the same message to more than one list) is
discouraged.
4. Edit replies
To maximise readability, please 'snip' any unnecessary part of the original message when
replying. Quote only enough of the original message so others can follow the thread of
your reply.
5. Use Subject Lines effectively
Please use accurate and descriptive subject lines. If your reply introduces a new topic,
please create a new subject heading, ensuring that the original is referred to (eg Day
patients [was Psychotherapy]). This will assist members in keeping track of threads,
sorting through mail and locating information.
6. Appropriate quoting
Please consider everything on the list to be copyrighted by its author. Ask permission
from the author before quoting their message. The normal exemption for quoting small parts
of published works for the purpose of study and review appears to apply equally to
electronic communication.
7. Appropriate use of email adresses
No collection and use of email addresses from messages posted to the list for commercial
or unsolicited uses is condoned. Appropriate professional contact is encouraged.
8. Send your commands to the right address
Please don't send Majordomo commands such as "unsubscribe" or "which" to your list. Other
list members will not be interested.
These commands should be sent to the Majordomo server at: majordomo@www.aicafmha.net.au
9. Attachments
People wanting to include an attachment with a posting to any of the lists are required to
send the message and attachment to secretary@aicafmha.net.au for
approval. Approved messages and attachments will be forwarded to and circulated to the list.
Messages with attachments sent to the list without prior approval will not be circulated.
