Battlestar Galactica Discussion List
Rewritten: 29-04-2001
------------------------------------------------------------
"There are those who believe, that life here... began out
there"
The Battlestar Galactica discussion list began quite some
time ago and has remained one of the prominent forums
regarding the television show. In July of 1996 it migrated
to it's current home on it's ever-present journey to find a
mythical planet.. known as Earth...
The Battlestar Galactica list (BSG-THEME) is operated by
Tina Vivian (tvivian@fao.ford.com).
It is a grouping of fans of the television series at no
cost and is open to anyone who wishes to join in.
The volume on the list varies but it is not unreasonable
to find 20-60 messages a day from the list. Digest format
IS available...
------------------------------------------------------------
List Command Information
To SUBSCRIBE to the list:
BSGtheme-subscribe@yahoogroups.com
To UNSUBSCRIBE from the list:
BSGtheme-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com
Again REMEMBER to send the unsubscribe command from the
same account that you subscribed from in order to remove
yourself from the list, and PLEASE delete any signature file when
issuing _any_ command to the server.
------------------------------------------------------------
Sending mail to the list for other members to read
To send mail to the list address the letter to:
BSGtheme@yahoogroups.com
When sending replies be careful about quoting large
volumes of information. You are strongly encouraged to cut-paste
replies to only include relevant pieces. Also please make sure the
"sendto:" of the e-mail only has the address for the list on it ONCE
(don't use the "Reply to all" mode; just use "Reply to Sender" which
is the list itself).
If your working with a mailer that is new to you and do
not know how to cut/paste, please write to Tina Vivian, List
Moderator, and she will try to assist you.
------------------------------------------------------------
Removal Policies
You may be removed from the list at any time without
notice. Such removals are generally due to errors with
accounts, unknown users, or other problems which may be
causing the list itself to receive an inordinate amount of
bounced messages or error mail.
Other reasons for removal are due to repeated
inappropriate posts. In such cases, you will receive a
warning first; if the inappropriate posting continues, a
second warning will be sent; further infractions will result
in removal from the list.
------------------------------------------------------------
Posting Netiquette
This list was created for one and only one reason, to
discuss the Television series Battlestar Galactica.
That said I ask that everyone follow the below rules on
posting. If you do not follow these rules I may ask you to
cease posting such mail, if it continues I may warn, if it
continues still I may pull people from the list. I
apologize if this sounds harsh and rest assured the LAST
thing I want to do is turn into a "Ward Cleaver" parent of
this list.. but I think in the past we have had quite a few
inappropriate mails... Again I dislike doing this but being
the list moderator am in the best position to step up to the
bully-pulpit for repeated inappropriate mailings.
What Constitutes Inappropriate Posts?
Flaming -- A term used to denote people who verbally abuse,
berate, swear or otherwise try to embarrass, and put down
another person. Flames often stem from disagreement on
a given subject or a misunderstanding. They are
heavily frowned upon by list members as well as the
moderator.
Prolonged Off-Topic Threads -- Topics which have nothing to
do with Battlestar Galactica. Occasionally, Off-Topic
posts will come up; it's strongly encouraged to respond
to these posts privately. Responding to the list will
only serve to generate a prolonged Off-Topic Thread which
will inevitably lead to other OT threads, etc. Please
keep in mind that this is the Battlestar Galactica
list; topics brought to the list _should_ reflect some
aspect of the BSG Universe.
Gripes -- If someone has a problem or a grievance with
another lister, _Please_ take this to private mail! If
you want my assistance, please write to me to
Tina Vivian; I would be more than happy to help.
Attachments -- In the past, we have had many problems
with people sendingattachments to the list at large, i.e. fonts
files, programs, stories and other things from processed formats,
etc.
_Please_ _Do_ _Not_ send anything that isn't just plain, unvarnished
text to the list; there are several e-mail providers as well as PC
mail programs which cannot properly decode these things and may
either reject them or split them up or cause a problem with receiving
other mail.
Now then.. what constitutes good mails?
ANYTHING RELATING TO BSG.
Examples:
Trivia on cast/crew, models, toys, shows relating to BSG
(i.e. Dirk's favorite munchy, mention of other
films/shows/etc. where our beloved BG cast performed,
and so-on; Questions relating to BSG; Any information on net
resources, books, events, fan fic, etc., relating to BSG;
Religious, social, and other references _As Long As They
Relate To The BSG Universe_. (Strong emphasis there,
as we have had flame wars and Off-Topic threads about
such things.)
Respect for those reading your posts is _very_ important!
Remember the rule: Let us agree to disagree... we will not
all agree on everything but again, this is a discussion list..
nothing more.. Disagreements can sometimes bring forth
other points of view previously never explored. If a
disagreement starts turning into a flame war or a prolonged
Off-Topic thread, however, action may need to be taken by
the moderator.
------------------------------------------------------------
General Netiquette:
Subject Lines _MUST_ reflect the topic of discussion. If a
subject line reads "Question--Where's Laurette Now?",
then the information should reflect that topic _ONLY_.
If the discussion starts to change threads, CHANGE THE
SUBJECT LINE! For those who like to sort by subject, it
is most distressing to find something on landing bays
when one is expecting to read about Laurette Spang!
Article Requoting should be kept to only the _relevant_
sections you wish to address in your response. Many of
the list members have to pay by the bandwidth or only
have a certain amount of space allotted to them. If you
don't know how to cut/paste/edit, let me know and I'll be
glad to find someone from the list who will be able
to talk you through.
One-Liner "Me Too" messages add nothing to the discussion
and only serve to create unnecessary traffic. If
someone posts they think Sheba is a goddess, rather
than a "Me Too", please let the list know _why_ you agree
(or disagree).
Sig Files can be very creative and beautiful, but they can
also be _long_! In the interest of good netiquette,
please limit them to a maximum of _8_ lines in order to
save bandwidth.
Signing your post is important! Many of us have some pretty
funky e-mail headers which conveys nothing of who sent
it, and some have mailers which chop out sig files. So
popping your name at the end of your post will really
help. :-)
We get new people to the list all the time and the only
way they learn how things work is to emulate the veterans...
remember every message we send serves as an example to a new
list member desperate to join in on the conversation but
unsure what to say or how to say it.
May the Lords of Kobol be with you. :-)
