Response:
Want to report a poster for abuse or violating our FAQ or their ISP’s AUP (Acceptable Use Policy)? View Headers All. Forward their post. Place your comment at the top of the text..for instance: This poster has been told to leave us alone and is violating our FAQ He is posting harmful comments and is not a patient, family members, friends nor co-workers of anyone who has Lupus. We are not a medical newsgroup, we are a support newsgroup. He has already started his abuse. Please warn him to stay away from news:alt.support.lupus and/or pull his account. I believe he’s also violating your Acceptable Use Policy http://www.telus.net/aup.html Thank you very much. insert your name here.. Then add… What Content is Appropriate for ASL? ASL’s purpose stated above should imply content. However, the following are the basic rules of Netiquette that members are asked to follow. No Flaming: i.e., Please do not harm the group or others with harsh criticism. No Peddling: Groups that support persons with chronic illnesses are often the target of "snake oil" salespersons. Though the members of the group do not mind suggestions for alternative treatments or supplements, posting advertisements for products of any kind is generally frowned upon. Guide to Live by on Usenet including This Group: If you earn a commission in money or in kind by advocating an item, do so elsewhere. Use appropriate Notations: Off-topic posts are welcome on ASL with the exceptions of advocating religious groups, political ideals and similar "flame-prone" topics. If a post is Off-Topic, that is not directly related to SLE, please indicate this by putting the proper notation in the Subject line. Examples: OT: My Dog is Sick. or OT: I’m Getting Married. This is not a hard and fast rule as threads often degenerate into humorous parleys or other OT discussions. If a post is OT but contains profanity or is a rant, than please try to remember to indicate such on the subject line. Again, this is not carved in stone. The group is dynamic and friendly and generally takes little issue, if any, with OT or Rant posts. These are, after all, parts of our lives and Lupus affects our lives in every way. Text Only: No pictures, video clips, music, etc. Try not to have a file attached to your signature and do not use "stationery". Stationery may look pretty but many of us just get dozens of little pictures in our attachments directory or other artifacts of little or no use. Try not to post in HTML, even if you also post in plain text (you may need to alter your news-posting software’s settings.) If you would like to share pictures or other large documents with others in the group, please post only a website address where the file can be viewed or ask individuals to contact you for the download in private email. To Top Who can be a part of this group? You can! This is Usenet – so anyone who wants to be here, can be here. Our members consist of lupus patients (both SLE and DLE) as well as patients still in the throes of what you could call "diagnostic limbo". Other members of ASL include support persons who have family members, friends or co-workers that have some form of the disease. Still other members are folks who have similar diseases but not precisely the same as SLE or DLE and yet find that their symptoms are sufficiently similar to get information from this group. Physicians or Researchers are encouraged to participate in the group as long as they are not advocating their practice or a specific product. Advocating (for profit) in general is considered bad netiquette where support newsgroups are concerned. ASL is no different in this respect. As this is an open (unmoderated) Usenet group, people will sometimes post material which you may find abusive, upsetting, indecent, offensive, etc. Please ignore it. Don’t reply to such postings as it only encourages those who post them and may subject you to personal email that is equally offensive. These posts might be cross-posted, that is posted to several unrelated groups, either by accident or deliberately than below this is the headers and the text that you are forwarding to the poster’s ISP. In this case it’s ab…@telusplanet.net that you are sending it to. The poster has already had numerous accounts pulled under various posting names because of his behavior. But the more people who say nothing but forward his posts, the better. J
