[Rockhounds] ADMIN: rules for ADs

[Kitty & Bill Heacox]

Hello List,


Your Admin Team has decided to periodically post portions of the List
Usage Policy which can be read in entirety at the URL that appears at the
bottom of every List posting.  Today we are presenting part of the
rules regarding advertisements.


Aloha, Kitty (Admin Team Member)


        B. Advertisements: ADs
are defined as announcements or notices related to commercial activity,
including (but not limited to) websites, sales, auctions, dealers
announcing they will be at a show, and for-fee trips or collecting
locations. 

 
               
1. Advertisements must be directly related to rockhounding, lapidary
work, mineralogy, etc. 

 
               
2. In order to allow subscribers who do not wish to see ads to ignore or
delete them, please place [AD] in your subject line, as in: [AD] (your
subject here) 

 
               
3. Commercial postings should be limited to two per month. 

 
               
4. Subscribers who post ads should also contribute regularly or
participate in list discussions. In other words, people should not be
members solely for the purpose of posting ads. 

 
               
5. When announcing items for sale, include something like the following
statement:  “Inquiries should be made off-list,” or, “Please contact
me off-list for more information.” 

 
               
6. If you want to respond to an AD make sure you do so off-list, unless
your comment is of interest to everyone.
