[Mageia-discuss] Mailist etiquette -- gentle reminder

Fri Sep 24 19:02:55 CEST 2010

There should be a recurring reminder of the mailist and Gmane list 
+rules. There are many who are new to mailists and have never had the 
+experience in group mailist etiquette. Some people find it 
+annoying/frustrating when people top-post, quote whole passages etc. But 
+we should be happy that there is so much participation. It just means 
+that we need to every now and then send out a gentle reminder of the 
+rules. I think that the "Mailist etiquette -- gentle reminder" should be 
+posted every now and then by the Mageia ML maintainer just to add a 
+little formality to the message.
+
+Mailist etiquette:
+
+- English language only please on the mailist
+- no top posting please
+- when answering, please quote the relevant sentences that is being replied
+- please do not break the threads. Do a proper "Reply" from your email 
+agent and your email will be "nested" with the right discussion thread.
+- please do not hijack threads by "Replying" and then changing the 
+"Subject" line of the mail
+
+The exchange of ideas makes us all grow. Mageia, the magic continues.
+
