If you join, enter a note that shows you know what the list is about,
this is only to discourage spambots. It can be very simple. Be
patient, it might take a day for a subscription to be active, until
we get more moderators.
I have started this mailing list to serve as a (possibly filtered)
version of the vortex list. Not all aspects have been set up yet, but
anyone can subscribe to this list, subscription is open. New members,
however, are moderated until accepted. I intend to subscribe the
vortex list to this mailing list, which will cause it to be echoed;
however, the vortex "subscriber" will be moderated, and moderator
approval will be required for posts to be echoed.
I am the owner of this list. I'd happily share that with certain
others, most especially Bill. Owners may create or remove owners,
and, most importantly, may create or remove moderators.
I have no intention of being a regular moderator; as owner, my main
job would be to resolve hopefully rare disputes, but I also consider
my position as owner to be as a trustee for the community. Any
maintained disputes will be referred to the community, through
non-disruptive process that will be set up if necessary.
I will accept volunteer moderators who subscribe from the email
address they use for vortex, and who are known as long-term
Vorticians. Moderators will have the ability to moderate subscribers,
accepting or rejecting posts, and can take members off of moderation.
Direct posting to this list will be allowed. Yes, Mary Yugo could
subscribe. Nobody will be banned from this list without at least one
clearly violated warning, on the list (or in mail submitted for
moderation) as far as I'm concerned. But the community is sovereign
here, unless one of the owners I create boots me out and takes
over.... If that happens, I can always be contacted at the email
address this mail was sent from. For those reading this from the
archive, it's the user abd, and the domain is lomaxdesign, the
top-level being .com.
To subscribe to the new list, you mail send a mail to
newvortex-subscr...@yahoogroups.com. Include a brief note so that I
know you are not a spambot. This process is *only* about preventing
spam, it is not membership censorship.
Or one can join at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/newvortex/join
To get full access to group on-line features, you will need to have a
yahoo account, and link it. If anyone has difficulty with that, they
may contact me.
The list subject tag will be [nVo].
Vortex list rules may be presumed to be *continued* on nVo. The new
list, however, has an editable archive, and violating posts *may* be
subject to removal, but this will be done transparently.
