Here is the final version of the Poetryetc Policies we discussed a couple of
weeks back. We have set up the system so that it goes out to all new
members.
Poetryetc List Policies
Poetryetc is a forum for the discussion of poetry, poetics, and
related matters. The list is unmoderated and depends on the good will
of members to maintain a useful and productive environment for
conversation. Poetryetc has few rules, but list managers take them
seriously. Repeated violations of list policies as outlined below will
lead to removal from the list.
1. No racist, gender-biased, or homophobic language.
2. Poetryetc. does not allow anonymous or pseudonymous subscriptions.
3. Posts should primarily concern poetry, poetics, and related
discourses. Ultimately, the subjects discussed on the list are up to
the membership.
4. No personal attacks against other members of the list will be
allowed. Criticism of anyone, whether a member of the list or not,
should be directed at the person's ideas or work, not at the person.
5. Posts that, in the opinion of the list managers, contain libel will
be deleted.
6. Posts to the list remain the property of their authors. Do not
repost or republish posts to the list without the permission of the
author beyond the standard rights accorded by "fair use" of published
materials. If you do use material from the list elsewhere with the
author's permission, please note that the material appeared originally
on Poetryetc.
