RE: TEXASEMS-L Acceptable Use Policy

[Guest guest]

Howdy,

I was wondering how long it would take for this to appear...after I saw that

TEMSF had taken control of this, I knew it wouldn't be long.

Let me be the first to approach the edge on acceptable behavior...

I just want to ask, and would appreciate an answer, if EVERYONE on this list

will be held to these standards?

When certain members berate others for not using spell check, instead of helping

them with their inquiry...

When members on this list make long running and somewhat immature jokes at

others expense after they ask what they feel was a legitimate question...

When someone posts their opinion about another member and tons of other

" members " jump up and try to track down who was saying bad things...including

using means to investigate their background and who/why someone would say such

things...

When long term members of this list post things that, although humorous, are not

EMS related...

Will all of these cases be held to this standard? Or will it just be the new

people and those whose opinions might differ?

Here is where I am coming from...this list has been in existence, according to

Yahoo, since September 1998. I have been on this list for 4 of those years. I

have seen people come and go, be welcomed and attacked, and the list continues

and we love/hate/speak kindly/kick people all at different times for different

reasons and the list continues. Why, suddenly, do we need these " Acceptable Use

Policies " ?

What will this do but limit people's involvement at a minimum and censor this

list to a group of people who all think alike as the worst-case scenario?

I had to post this, hope I haven't violated any rules...but before I go...to

" t_temsf " who posted the Acceptable Use Policy...YOU DIDN'T SIGN YOUR POST...not

a good way to start a more stringent policy on list behavior.

Dudley,

I wouldn't anticipate any major changes if I were you. Honestly, I wouldn't

even worry about it. I have been on this list a long time as well, actually,

after looking, my first post was September of 98. I have seen a lot of

threads, both on and off topic, come and go. G** knows some of them were

waayyy out in left field. I personally hope it stays just like it is right

now, good mix of intelligence, inquisition and humor.

Gotta tell you though, if you think this list is rough, I belong to a couple

that are aboslutely unforgiving, I think I come here for the peace and

quiet...

Yes Dudley, it wouldn't be fair otherwise.

Rudeness won't get you moderated right off the bat, but it might get you a

private warning letter. Much as Penny had to write many, many times. That

part doesn't change. What *will* change is when the member fails to heed the

warning.

Again, rudeness shouldn't be tolerated.

Well, to my knowledge this has never happened so I don't see the concern. I

do remember the character assassination attempt on Dr. Bledsoe and the witch

hunt that followed. Is that what you are talking about? I doubt anything

would have changed regarding those events.

> When long term members of this list post things that, although

The AUP specifically states that we expect a modicum of off-topic material

and it will be tolerated. Too much or too far off-topic or off-color might

garner a warning note.

> Will all of these cases be held to this standard? Or will it

Opinions make no difference. It is behavior we will be looking at.

Because sometimes people get out of line, and sometimes that line is

difficult to define. The AUP is more of a guideline than anything else, and

moderation is a last resort for someone who can't behave in a civilized

manner after being warned.

> What will this do but limit people's involvement at a minimum

It seems you make a worst case assumption. Censorship is the last thing on

our minds and any opinion is welcome on the list..... no matter how offbeat

or odd and no matter if it differs from any of the moderators. Again, it is

behavior, not opinion that will come to the attention of the moderators.

Rudeness, vulgarity, personal attacks, etc.

> I had to post this, hope I haven't violated any rules...but

If you fear you may have violated any of the guidelines, you haven't read

them very well.

I was the original drafter of the AUP, drawing from the policies of several

other EMS related lists. The draft was passed before the TEMSF board and all

active committee members for review and comment, then we asked some outside

folks to look it over. Once all the edits were incorporated the AUP was

uploaded to Yahoo where they very kindly post it for us monthly. The posting

was automatic and a service offered by Yahoo. None of the other lists that

do the same have signatures attached, so I fail to see any concern.

> PS: Who are the " volunteer moderators " ? When DSHS had

This is a random thing, decided by the TEMSF board. www.temsf.org. Any post

made by a moderator will be simply signed " TEMSF volunteer moderator " ,

although I really don't think there will be very many instances where the

moderator will need to post anything.

Guys, what I DON'T know about pre-hospital emergency care scares the

you-know-what out of me. I read everything I can from trade

journals, keep up with my CEs, and almost always consult the internet

after completing a call. After I ventured that our service uses a

certain drug in the pre-hospital setting, I felt like I got whacked

off at the knees until Gene came to my rescue. I see this message

board as a safe way to pose questions of a clinical and legal nature,

to learn how different services practice pre-hospital medicine,

what's new on the horizon in terms of care in the field, and even

just for the camaraderie [run spell check on that!.] Berating folks,

rude remarks, arrogance, condesencion, and verbal abuse just don't

reflect the kind of professionalism that I want to see, or be a part

of. We keep complaining about not being considered professionals and

I believe the professionalism must be reflected in every single thing

that we do, and say, every single day.

A lot of us learn a lot from this message board. Don't make us

afraid to ask.

I wouldn't anticipate any major changes if I were you. Honestly, I wouldn't

WHAT ARE SOME OTHER LISTS?

RE: TEXASEMS-L Acceptable Use Policy

Dudley,

I wouldn't anticipate any major changes if I were you. Honestly, I wouldn't

even worry about it. I have been on this list a long time as well, actually,

after looking, my first post was September of 98. I have seen a lot of

threads, both on and off topic, come and go. G** knows some of them were

waayyy out in left field. I personally hope it stays just like it is right

now, good mix of intelligence, inquisition and humor.

Gotta tell you though, if you think this list is rough, I belong to a couple

that are aboslutely unforgiving, I think I come here for the peace and

quiet...

Good list, very in-depth and insightful posts. You'll recognize many names

from this list. Posts from across the nation so you get a great perspective.

There is one dedicated to research, fewer posts, but good.
