It is a gathering place for list-moderators to share their experiences and wisdom, and for newly appointed list-moderators to learn the trade. Discussions which would be on topic include techniques and tools to assist moderation, how to deal with troublesome posters, encouraging a particular list culture without appearing too authoritarian, how to spot posters attempting to use and abuse the system, text- layout styles for newsletters, etc. •Moderator-List Welcome message
- 59. Laurence Yap/Training 59 Your first step, is to introduce yourself and your list to the List-Moderators list. Tell us about how you got started, any successes you've had, and any questions you might have for the list. How Do I Post To This List?

- 62. Laurence Yap/Training 62 Email Newsletter Subscriber Look for unsubscription directions, and follow them. Do NOT assume that hitting "reply" with "remove" in the subject field (for example) will get you off the list. Don't expect the publisher to remove you manually: you subscribed; you can remove yourself. Save your welcome messages with list rules and unsubscription information. If you have a problem, take it up nicely with the publisher.
- 63. Laurence Yap/Training 63 Discussion List Members Be courteous to other list members. If you disagree with them, fine, just don't resort to personal insults. Consult the list archives, if available, before posting a question. This is also a good way to become familiar with a list's acceptable topics, etc. Consult the list FAQ if there is one available. Do not cross-post (send the same message to more than one list).
- 64. Laurence Yap/Training 64 Discussion List Members Follow the list rules at all times. If you're not sure whether your post will violate the rules, ask the moderator before you send it. Lurk and learn what's acceptable before posting to the list. Don't overquote. Include only the specific information you're responding to, and chop out the rest. Keep posts to the list brief. If you're post doesn't add value, don't send it. (Example: Don't send a "thanks" message through the list. Send something like that directly to the person you're thanking.)
- 65. Laurence Yap/Training 65 Discussion List Members Do not forward virus warnings and the like to a list unless it's devoted to that topic. Respect other people's opinions. If you disagree, do it politely. Spell check and reread your messages before posting. Do not forward copyrighted material to the list unless you have permission to do so.
