DC Independent Media Center
LIST DESCRIPTION
This list is for discussion of video media/coverage and activities of the video working group.
Please only post messages which are on topic for this particular list. If you post a message which is off-topic, the list moderator may remind you of the posting guidelines. If you continually post off-topic messages, you may be placed on "moderate" status, so that all of your messages need approval before going out to the list. See DC IMC email lists for all lists and their functions.
You must subscribe to this list in order to post without approval. If you are not subscribed, your post will be held for a moderator to approve. If you will use more than one email account to post to the list (work and home address, for example), you may want to subscribe with both addresses and set one to "nomail".
GENERAL LIST RULES
Replying: When replying to a previous message, only quote the parts of the previous message that are relevant to your message. Delete the rest -- it just takes up additional space in everyone's inbox, as well as making the message harder to read, especially for those who read the list in digest form.
Message format: Send messages in plain text format, not rich text or html. Not all email clients have the ability to read html messages, and some people will receive a page of garbled characters, rather than your message.
Attachments: Do not send messages with attachments. Not everyone has the ability to read attachments, and for many people a large attachment will fill their inbox and cause other messages to bounce. If you have a document to send out, such as an event flyer, you can either provide a link to the document on the web, or ask people to email you to request a copy of the document.
Privacy: Be aware that anything you sent to a list (except imc-dc-abacus) will be publicly archived on the web, and available for anyone to read or find in a search, forever! Be careful what you say and what personal information you give out.
Message subject: Use a descriptive subject line for your post, so that it's easy to identify.
Crossposting: Please do not crosspost messages to multiple DC IMC lists unless your message is relevant to every list. General meeting announcements/minutes should be sent to imc-dc and imc-dc-work. Working group meeting announcements should be sent to imc-dc and the appropriate working group list (meetings should also be listed in the left column of the website). IMC events (like screenings) should be sent to imc-dc and imc-dc-announce.
Conflict: Personal arguments are not appropriate on lists. Anything that isn't relevant to the entire group should take place in emails to individuals, not to the list. If list discussion degenerates into personal arguments, attacks, or disrespectful comments, the moderator may give warnings to individuals or the entire list, and may also put the list on temporary "emergency moderation" to give people time to cool down.
