1. Discussions revolving around ToS vs CoS issues, theology and whatever, are under an indefinite duration ban. The Darkpaths-L Admin squad has found that these discussions tend to become very heated, repetitive and altogether nonproductive for all parties concerned.

2. No users under 18 years of age. Many members of the elist were concerned that their speculations and contributions to the elist might subject them to all sorts of ethical dilemmas and legal hassles, if they knowingly provided darkside material to minors. Any user who can be identified as underage on Darkpaths-L is immediately removed.

3. Messages posted to these mailing lists should be treated as private correspondence; thus, not quoted anywhere else without the consent of all quoted parties.

4. The moderators will enforce bans on things determined to non-conducive to relevant topics, the functioning of the server, and healthy civility. Things can include topics, language, and users. Consult the moderator(s) if in doubt.

5. Please don't post messages about administrative and technical issues to the elist itself. Send such to the moderators only.

6. Please don't post completely frivolous messages, one or two line messages, "me too!" messages, or quote the entirety of large messages when only a line or two is sufficient. Take it to one-on-one email. This is standard netiquette.

7. No files of any kind should ever be transferred via these mailing lists. Likewise, keep messages to a reasonable length; please split them into multiple messages if they go over 30k.

8. Bouncing messages are a true bane of administration. Please avoid mailbox overloads on your site. If this seems of concern, consider switching to Digest format.

9. Policy for advertisments is set by the elists' moderators.

10. Violators may be removed and banned at the discretion of the moderators.
