- Our site-wide policy is simple:
-
- 1 - no messages for personal gain (i.e. "For Sale" notices).
- 2 - everything else that is non-business-related should have the subject
- prefaced by the phrase "Junk: ".
-
- The presence of (1) reminds folks why the mail network is there. (2) allows
- flexibility for "busy" people to skip the junk mail without worrying that
- they're missing anything!
-
- Generally, however, we run fairly loose and free and non-authoritairian; we
- find that peer pressure takes care of abusers of this policy quite effectively.
