Hi again,
Writing my recent message to the group about MedStats policies reminded
me that the original rules/policies document was 'lost' when,a good few
years ago, the group was migrated to its present platform
(Googlegroups). I will attempt to rectify that in the fairly near
future.
Those policies/rules were always fairly brief, straightforward and I
think pretty 'obvious'. In essence, the main types of post which
are not considered acceptable are:
- Messages which are abusive, disrespectful or likely to cause offence
to at least some people. This includes 'personal attacks', comments
which are 'racist' etc. and the use of unacceptable ('bad'!) language
- Most forms of advertising, particularly when money is involved.
- Posts of a political or religious nature.
- In general, posts concerning topics which are not even remotely
related to 'Statistics', in its broadest sense.
If any group members have any comments or suggestions as regards
what posts should, or should not, be considered acceptable, please let me
know ('privately') and I will tske those comments into consideration when
formulating a new 'policy document' (which will probably follow the above
summary) - a draft of which I will circulate to the group, for comment,
before finalising it.
Kindest Regards,
John
MedStats Manager
