The following quoted text is from the Ohio Ornithological Society’s website under the subject of Ohio-birds Listserve guidelines. 
“This discussion list is not moderated and no prior review of postings takes place.”
“Messages in this group should be limited to brief announcements, and should not become the subject of extended discussions.”
“Complaints that a message is inappropriate are themselves inappropriate. If you have a complaint, send it to the listowner”
“Posts that ridicule, attack, or insult another poster or their ideas are unacceptable.”
“Show tolerance of posts by new subscribers and posts that are occasionally off- topic, poorly written, or not up to your personal standards. Be slow to take offense to a post. You may have misjudged the poster’s meaning.” 
“If you do take offense, allow yourself a cool-down period before you click on the Send button. Even then, consider sending your message privately rather than to the list.”
