> The following rules are in place for all Yahoo groups including
> Sport-Aircraft:
>
> 1. You may not harass, abuse, threaten, or advocate violence against
> other members or individuals or groups.
> 2. You may not post content that is harmful to minors.
> 3. You may not post content that is obscene, otherwise
> objectionable, or in violation of federal or state law.
> 4. Stay on topic. Although all groups are different, most groups
> appreciate it when you stay on topic. If you constantly stray from the
> topic you may be moderated or removed from a group altogether by its owner.
> 5. You may not add members to a group without their permission.
>
> 6. You may not use Yahoo! Groups for commercial or advertising purposes.
> 7. You may not post content which infringes the intellectual property,
> privacy or other rights of third parties.
> 8. You may only post adult-oriented content in age-restricted areas.
> You must be 18 years old or over to access these areas.
> 9. Some content may be more appropriate in some contexts than others.
> Yahoo! reserves the right to remove content that it determines, in its
> sole discretion, to be inappropriate and in violation of our rules.
> For example, discussions or depictions of bestiality, incest,
> excretory acts, or child pornography may be inappropriate if placed
> in a sexual or otherwise exploitative context.
> 10. You may not use Groups solely for the purpose of storing and
> archiving files.
> 11. You cannot re-post or re-transmit content that belongs to another
> user without that user's permission. A Groups owner or moderator (or
> any other user) cannot re-post or re-transmit Groups content to any
> other site unless the person has the explicit permission of every
> group member whose content is being re-posted or re-transmitted.
>
> In the past two weeks three individuals, out of the 1910 total members
> of Sport_Aircraft, have repeatedly violated rules #1, 3, and 4. Gary
> and I placed them on moderated status and began filtering offensive
> and illegal e-mails. Since then, one of these members has left
> voluntarily, a second has contented himself with sending insults
> against Gary to the filter to test Gary's patience, the third has gone
> on to also violate rules # 5 and 11 by creating his own list of active
> Sport_Aircraft list members without their consent to which he
> retransmits list content as well as his illegal and offensive posts
> pretending that he is posting to this list.
>
> Consider this a final warning. If the flagrant violation of Yahoo
> group rules by these individuals or any other individuals continues,
> these individuals will be permanently removed from this group.
