Welcome to the online discussion list of the ABSW.

ABSW-L is a private list for ABSW members to foster debate and a sense of community. We encourage members to take part in the discussions, but we ask you to stay within the following guidelines:

Healthy debate is fine, but persistent attacks on individuals or organisations will not be tolerated. We want this to be a welcoming place for discussion and sharing ideas.

Don’t post content that most people would find offensive or threatening. This includes anything racist, sexist, homophobic, hateful, threatening, insulting, obscene or profane. Please be considerate of other people, even if you have differing views on a subject.

Stay within the law. We will remove anything unlawful or that may put the ABSW at risk of legal action. This includes defamatory comments.

Stay on topic. In order to keep conversations useful and engaging, please stick to the topic discussed in the message thread. Where possible, start a new message thread if a discussion moves into a new area/issue.

Don’t spam. This is a place for discussion, not advertising. We reserve the right to edit/remove content that promotes products, services, or other personal interests unless we feel it is relevant to members.

Don't use attachments for the entire list, instead, provide links or offer to send to individuals directly. The general rule of thumb with email attachments applies here: 'only send if requested and only to the person requesting it'.

Edit the emails you forward, and even yours, to avoid having a long trail of email footers.

This is a private discussion list for ABSW members. The content of the list should not be used in any other forum without permission.

Although we will not do so unless necessary, as a last resort, we reserve the right to delete posts and block users from commenting if they fail to keep to our guidelines.
