I'm starting to get really annoyed by what's happening on APO-L lately.
Approximately 3/4 of the posts for the last week have been inappropriate
for the list. I've attached the list guidelines at the end, please
re-read them.
If you notice someone posting something you think does not follow the
guidelines DO NOT clutter the list further with posts about how
inappropriate something was. If someone posts outside the guidelines,
I'll let them know. Send personal mail if you must comment. If you
think something is questionable, ask me.

::GUIDELINES
The following guidelines apply to APO-L. Please read them. If you have
any
questions, please contact the list coordinator. The guidelines are
derived
from network policies, netiquette and input from subscribers to the list
coordinator.
1. When first subscribing to APO-L, please feel free to post a brief
(about a screen's worth) message about yourself to introduce yourself
to the list. Please use private e-mail to respond to someone's
introduction. Please do not send your reply to APO-L as it will then
be
sent to the entire list.
2. APO-L makes a concerted effort to keep network traffic and "junk
mail"
to a minimum, since there are many subscribers receiving APO-L
through
their place of work or pay services such as Compuserve or MCI Mail.
All
postings should be related to Alpha Phi Omega.
3. Netiquette dictates private responses to private email. Please do
not
post private mail to APO-L, EVEN IF YOU CANNOT FIND A MAILING PATH.
Contact your local postmaster or the list coordinator for if you need
help. List subscribers can also be found on the APO-L subscriber
list
using the REV command.
4. Please do not "flame" (insult) individuals over APO-L or in private
mail. Discussions will naturally bring disagreements, however,
rebuttals
should always be made in a rational, logical and mature manner in
public
or private.
5. Please refrain from using any language that might be considered
questionable (even by the most conservative of us) on APO-L.
6. The chartering of a new chapter should be announced once by either a
representative of the new chapter or the assisting chapter.
Congratulations (which are definitely in order) should be sent via
PRIVATE e-mail.
7. Newly initiated pledge classes may also be announced by a single
representative. Again, congratulations and good wishes should be
sent via PRIVATE e-mail.
8. Invitations to events should only be posted once, unless there is a
change to the original announcement. Arrangements to attend an event
should be made via private email and not across APO-L.
9. Subscription to APO-L is *not* limited to active brothers. Please
do not discuss any rituals or confidential matters of the fraternity
on APO-L.
10. Most of the points above can be summarized by: Keep in mind the
principles which Alpha Phi Omega was founded on and be courteous to
the
members of this list.
