Guidelines for posting
- Be polite and professional in posting and responding to colleagues.
- Use clear and meaningful titles.
- Subscribers who have logged in can view archived posts; clear titles help colleagues find topics previously discussed.
- If your post is relevant to a particular region (for example, advertising a regional event or meeting), put that region in the title so you target your audience.
- Write short, clear messages.
- For example, if you want to announce a call for a conference registration, post a summary and a link or an email address for more details, rather than all the information about the conference.
- Ensure any content you share is not subject to copyright.
Responding to a message
Private versus public posting
When you respond to a message, your response automatically goes to the whole community – not just the original author.
Respond privately if the original poster has asked for a private reply or if you think that is appropriate.
Summarise the original message
Include the highlights and key points you are responding to.
Make sure your response is adding to the conversation, for example, “I agree” does not add much to a thread.
Sign your messages with your name and email address
This is a courtesy and also enables people to reply to you individually.
