Welcome to the RAS_Prime Google Group!!

ALL MEMBERSHIP REQUESTS MUST INCLUDE A REASON FOR JOINING

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING IMPORTANT INFORMATION

This group is devoted to the free exchange of information on all glider related topics. Anyone can join the RAS_Prime Google group! RAS_Prime is dedicated to trying its very best to be a respectful place for everyone to talk about the sport that they love.

More Important Information Below

RAS_Prime lives alongside the venerable Usenet Network News group known as

rec.aviation.soaring or RAS for short. See more information on RAS at the end of this statement*.

Google Groups has several distinct advantages over Usenet Groups;

- User password controlled access to help prevent non-glider related content

- Email reading and responding to conversations as well as browser access
- Integration with the Google universe of applications
- Capability to limit or remove SPAM/SPAMers
- File and image attachment and storage

See more details on the advantages of a Google group versus a Usenet group at https://usenetreviewz.com/usenet-newsgroups-vs-google-groups.

Below are some common sense rules of conduct for the use of RAS_Prime

Respect for everyone. Disagreements will happen from time-to-time but must be discussed in a courteous and respectful fashion.
Postings should be related to gliders and soaring. Important and useful general aviation topics are also encouraged.
Do not post comments that;
- Do not add any intrinsic value to the ongoing conversation
- Are primarily negative in tone
- Are denigrating, disparaging, or derogatory
Please don't sidetrack a conversation with other topics. Instead start a new conversation.
Non-aviation topics are not allowed. No political discussions. No hateful or discriminatory postings. No spamming of any sort.
Please limit commercial postings to announcing interesting new aviation products or services.
Advertise personal owned aviation items for sale, or items wanted, which are aviation related. Start the post's subject line with "FS:" ("For Sale") or "WTB:" (Want to Buy").

The managers do not want to limit discussions and will give everyone the benefit of the doubt. They will provide warnings to those that stray away from our guidelines. However, the managers may need to remove posts that do not follow the guidelines. In egregious situations of those users that continually break our rules the moderator may temporarily, or permanently, suspend them from posting content.

Thank you!

The Management of RAS_Prime

* While rec.aviation.soaring (RAS) is accessible via https://groups.google.com/g/rec.aviation.soaring it is NOT a Google group. However, RAS's decades old archive of valuable information can be searched via Google. Please note that Google no longer allows posting of new conversations on RAS due to the preponderance of SPAM which began in October of 2023.
