The An Tir Mailing List (Called "The Steps of the Cathedral" by its
residents) exists for the discussion of matters pertaining to the SCA,
the Kingdom of An Tir, and of topics of interest to its people.
These are the Guidelines we agree to live under:
- We post as if every message we write were going to be read by the
Throne, in Court, the next time we're called up to be given an award.
- We sign our messages with our name and e-mail address.
- We are tolerant of subject threads that bore us to death.
- We keep subject lines appropriate to the contents of the message.
- We do NOT include the entire message we are replying to.
- We DO include a few lines if our reply can't stand on its own.
- We do NOT send terse, one-line replies.
- We use emphasis to make our comments clear. (Stars, smilies, etc.)
- We use white space and keep our paragraphs short.
- We send a message directly to its intended recipient and post to the
list as a whole only if appropriate.
- If our message is funny, frivolous, humourous, contains puns, or is
generally silly in nature, we add a "Silly/Tavern/WOAW/TWEET" flag
to the subject line so others can identify it easily.
We agree that:
- Event copy is welcome.
- Chronicles are welcome.
- Questions are welcome.
- Extensive discussions that get into the nitty-gritty politics of how
the Society operates are welcome.
- Funny, silly, frivolous, amusing, playful, joking, cheerful postings
are welcome.
- WOAWs, TWEETs, and TWITs, are generally harmless and should be pitied.
- Some merchant advertising is welcome.
- Elvis the Yak is our list mascot.
We further agree that:
- Abusive or inflammatory language is not welcome.
- Profanity is not welcome.
- Topics not of interest to the people of An Tir are not welcome.
- Chain letters are not welcome.
- Mail bombs to each other are not welcome.
We hereby invest E.B. as the Steps E-Mail Fairy Godmother with the right
to bop us on the head (gently, gently, politely, politely, and with love)
with her magic E-mail Wand if we forget our manners. We also hereby invest
her with the right to Grant a Wish in public for someone who's been
especially good lately.
