This list is intended for messages related to STARFLEET's Region 1. Any message related to STARFLEET in general, STARFLEET's Region 1, Star Trek fandom, or any social aspects of those topics should be acceptable as long as they do not violate the guidelines listed below.
R1-CHAT is handled by a utility named Mailman. You can subscribe to the list or modify your subscription preferences by using the menu at http://mail.weyr.org/mailman/listinfo/r1-chat. You can also interact with Mailman by e-mail. You can get a list of commands by sending an e-mail message to r1-chat-request@mail.weyr.org with the text “help” in the subject line or the body.
An archive of past posts to R1-CHAT can be found at http://mail.weyr.org/pipermail/r1-chat. The archives go back to April, 1999.
This list is an unofficial communication channel for STARFLEET's Region 1. Messages on this reflect the attitudes and opinions of the posters and cannot be construed in any way to reflect the attitudes or opinions of STARFLEET, STARFLEET's Region 1, the managers of weyr.org, the list moderators, or the staffs of the respective organizations.
Only members of the list are allowed to post to the list. If you are not subscribed to the list, or the address you are posting from is not subscribed to the list, the message will be held for moderator review. Messages deemed appropriate for the list by the list moderators will be approved, all others will be discarded.
Discussions about any aspect of Region 1 are welcome, as long as they have some relevance to the list topic. The list moderators are the final arbiter of the suitability of a message for this list.
Unsolicited commercial E-Mail (UCE), also known as “SPAM”, is not allowed. In addition, chain letters, virus warnings, “test” messages, or “me, too!” posts are also considered inappropriate.
When replying to a message, quote ONLY the relevant portions of the message to which you are replying. You should also NOT quote signature blocks from messages, but make it clear to whom the reply is directed.
You should clearly identify yourself in your posts. It is frequently difficult to determine the source of a message without the addition of a signature. One to three lines should be sufficient to identify yourself and your chapter or regional affiliation, more is probably excessive.
Any commercial message or sales pitch, whether to promote something that would benefit you, a friend, or an unrelated company, is not allowed without prior approval by the list moderators.
Derogatory comments, name-calling, threatening, harassing or libelous material, or “flame-wars” are not allowed on this list. The authors of such content will be encouraged in the strongest terms to conform to the standards of the list or to desist posting. The list moderators are the final arbiter of whether content violates these guidelines.
Think before you send a message! Ask yourself "Is this really appropriate for this list?" There are enough other newsgroups and mailing lists around to cover the marginal topics. Perhaps there is another forum that is more appropriate for your message.
Forwarding private E-Mail messages to the list without the author's permission, or re-posting messages from restricted-access lists, is strictly prohibited. Additionally, forwarding messages for non-subscribers is discouraged. Non-subscribers can post to the list and the moderators will approve or discard the messages as they deem appropriate.
The list moderators fully support an open exchange of ideas and opinions, but posters are expected to express themselves in a reasonable, mature manner.
There is only one consequence of violating the list regulations: the suspension of posting privileges. After an initial warning, violations will result in temporary suspension of privileges. Repeated violations will result in permanent suspension from the list. As the degree of the infraction may vary so can the penalty time allotted.
Any questions or comments concerning the R1-CHAT list or the policies relating to the list should be directed to r1-chat-admin@mail.weyr.org.
Weyr.Org hosts several lists related to STARFLEET's Region 1:
R1-STAFF – the official communication channel for Region 1 staff and chapter commanding officers.
R1-ANNOUNCE – a “low-noise” announcement list. No discussion is allowed on this list and all posts must be approved by the moderator.
For information about these and other STARFLEET Region 1 lists hosted by weyr.org, see http://mail.weyr.org/mailman/listinfo for details.
