Subscribers who violate these policies will receive one warning. The
second infraction will get you kicked off the list. An e-mail from 
the
moderator concerning a subject or a post on the list IS NOT 
considered
a warning. Warnings will be CLEARLY STATED as such and in e- mail. 
The
first kick-off will generally be temporary, time period to be
determined by the moderator. A second kick-off will generally be
permanent -- it depends on time since the first and severity of
infractions. If you have to be asked to keep your cool every month or
so, and tend to ignore polite reminders, don't expect to be allowed
back on the list. All decisions by the moderator are final. Remember,
access to the list is not a right, it's a privelege. Abuse that
privelege on a regular basis and it will be taken away. The moderator
maintains this list as a service to all AMC enthusiasts at his own
expense. All decisions made by the moderator are final. 

The topic of the list is AMC vehicles, loosely defined as vehicles
designed, engineered, manufactured, and/or sold by the American 
Motors
Corporation. General, non-AMC-specific technical information is also
permitted if it is of value to people working on AMC vehicles. 

All messages must include the author's name OR e-mail in the 
text of the
message or in the header. Due to concerns with SPAM, an e-
mail address is
not required but is highly encouraged. To prevent your address 
from being
picked up by a possible e-mail harvester replace "@" with the 
word AT or
one of the periods with the word "DOT" in your signature. These 
are
obvious to someone replying. Fortunately the list is small and on a
secure server -- the possibility of someone harvesting e-mails is
remote. Most reports of SPAM suspecting the list as a source are
actually from members computers infected with a virus or spy-ware. 

When replying to list mail, do not send the reply to the list unless
it will be of interest to the list. Reply to the individual author if
your message is not of general interest. This is why an e-mail 
address
is recommended. In particular if you want to purchase an item for 
sale
that has been posted to the list, please reply to the individual
posting the item - not the entire list. It is important to check the
address in your reply since it will go to the entire list by default
in most cases. 

The "Subject" line should reflect the content of the message. If you
change the subject of a thread, change the "Subject" line. 

In replies, quote as much of the original message as necessary 
to
establish the context. Edit out unnecessary material. 

**Abusive or insulting messages are absolutely not allowed. All 
list
members, and their vehicles, must be treated with respect.**

Advertising is permitted on the list, vendors and personal, within 
the
following guidelines: Up to two ads in any calendar month per
subscriber No more than 100 lines of text (about 5K) per ad Ads must
be specifically geared toward AMC enthusiasts MUST include an e-mail
or phone number MUST be a list member (members can pass on 
information
from a non- member if it is of interest to all list members) Once a
request for or offer of merchandise has been posted to the list, all
subsequent correspondence concerning a transaction must be conducted
OFF the list. If you are selling a vehicle, we suggest that you use
the following format to advertise it. Simply cut and paste this
template into an e-mail to the list and change the information as
applicable. This will help prevent ten replies all asking about a
detail you forgot to include, and it will also help you sell your
vehicle faster. 

         MODEL: Rambler Ambassador 
          YEAR: 1964 
    BODY STYLE: 990-H 2-door hardtop 
        ENGINE: 327 4-barrel
  TRANSMISSION: Automatic 
         COLOR: yellow with black top, black interior 
       MILEAGE: 34,000 original miles 
      LOCATION: Austin, TX (PLEASE DO NOT FORGET THIS!)
E-MAIL ADDRESS: wish.it.was.mine AT mail.utexas.edu
  ASKING PRICE: $4,500 O.B.O. (optional but recommended)
  PHONE NUMBER: (512)-123-4567 (optional; must include area 
code)
Then feel free to describe any options, how the car runs, handles, 
any
rust problems, and so forth... the important point to make is that 
the
above template will help answer a lot of common questions that people
frequently forget to answer in their ads. That in turn will help
reduce the volume of unnecessary list mail! 

If mail to a subscriber is "bounced" back to the list administrator
due to a full mailbox or technical error on the subscriber's system,
the system will automatically unsubscribe the member from the list in
order to reduce unnecessary load on the AMC-List system. Subscribers
should unsubscribe or set their mail status to "postpone" to avoid
such problems when they are unable to check their mail. When in
"postpone" or "suspend" mode no mail will be sent, but a member can
still post and read the List on the web site.

TIP: Remember, the web site and List are TWO DIFFERENT 
ENTITIES! The AMX
Files site receives mail just like any member, then mirrors the 
posts to
the site for public view. If mail service gets interrupted, usually
due to the regular Internet DNS shuffle, it may take a few days to 
get
the service straightened out, especially if it fails on or just 
before
a weekend. This will happen 2-3 times a year. Jim will generally post
"missing" days to the site after the problem is fixed. If you're
concerned about missing posts, get the list in Digest mode. This will
consolidate all messages into 2-4 mails per day and send them to your
mail box instead of 10-50 individual mails filling your box. Digests
files aren't as big as all the individual mail messages. Digest mode
is now the default when you sign up on the list.
