1. INTRODUCTION

Thank you for being a part of the listserve dedicated to providing a network
for the sharing of information on historic preservation in Massachusetts.
These guidelines are sent to the masshistpres subscribers about once a month
as a reminder.  These guidelines are subject to change without notice.

The primary goal of masshistpres is to provide a network for the sharing of
information amongst the Massachusetts historic preservation community.
Subscribers to masshistpres include local historical commissions, historic
district commissions, certified local governments, state agencies,
professional preservation consultants, attorneys, developers, engineers,
architects, local, regional and statewide non-profit organizations, and
members of the general public. 

 

2. POSTING GUIDELINES

All postings should relate to issues of historic preservation in
Massachusetts. 

 

When you send a message or question to the list, include your full name and
affiliation.  In other words, the end of your message must include your
first name, last name and organization name (municipality, agency, company,
etc).

The subject line of your email should clearly describe the body text of your
email.  Subject headings such as "Question, Next Steps or Masshistpres
Digest, Vol 84, Issue 25" do not adequately describe the body text of an
email message and are not acceptable.

Do not send any messages that include commercial advertising for services or
products. However, if you have personal experience with a product or service
already under discussion, your input is welcome. 

Do not send any messages that include personal attacks. 

Do not send any messages that solicit for employment, membership,
fundraising or awards.

 

Do not send messages that request donations of money or labor.    

Do not send virus warnings or other chain mail. 

 

Do not send any administrative requests to the whole list. 

 

Maintain professionalism and respect to everyone whether they are a member
of this list or not. 

 

It is best to delete large threads from your posting and keep only the
previous posters thread.  Messages over 40KB may not be posted. 

 

Failure to follow these guidelines may result in your removal from the list
or moderating of all postings.

If you believe any subscriber is not following these guidelines, please
contact the listserve administrator. 

Job postings for Massachusetts positions are allowed on masshistpres.

 

RFPs for preservation services in Massachusetts are allowed on masshistpres.

 

3. REJECTED MESSAGES

If your message is rejected, please review your message before contacting
the listserve administrator for help. Most messages are rejected because
they are too large, do not include a name and affiliation or have extra
recipients in the to, cc or bcc boxes.  Postings are also rejected
automatically when the email address you have used for sending the posting
differs from the email address you have used for subscribing.  The email
address you have used for subscribing must exactly match the email you are
using to post.

 

4. DISABLED SUBSCRIPTIONS

If you find that you are not receiving any masshistpres postings, it is
possible that your email address was disabled due to emails from
masshistpres that were not reaching your inbox.  If that happens repeatedly,
the software automatically disables your email address from the masshistpres
subscription list.  This can happen because your email address is no longer
active, because your mailbox is full or because spam filters on your
computer assume masshisptres is spam.  The listserve administrator can
re-enable your masshistpres membership.  However, if it happens again you
may need to reconfigure your spam filters to solve this problem.
