List Servs’ Guidelines:
Be Respectful and Courteous
This is a community and all participating in it are expected to treat one another with respect and grace. Differences of opinion are welcome, but all viewpoints must be respected. All ACB lists reflect our core values – integrity and honesty, respect, collaboration, flexibility, and initiative - consistent with the spirit embodied in our code of conduct.
ACB and Blindness Related Topics Only
Discussions should be related to ACB, its affiliates, its members, and concerns of the blind and visually impaired community.
Promotion and Advertising
Promotions or fundraisers for ACB or its affiliates may be shared. Outside advertising and sales, including content in message headers and footers, is not permitted.
Forwarding Posts from Other Lists
We ask that list members refrain from routinely forwarding posts from non-ACB email lists and instead encourage individuals to share list subscription information, up to once per month, so people who would like to receive this information can get it directly.
Send Post-Related Concerns to List Administrators
Send concerns and comments to administrators for review. Information on how to contact the list administrators will be part of all message footers.
Follow List Guidelines
List administrators will issue warnings, moderated status, suspension, or removal of individuals from lists, to ensure these guidelines are upheld.
