British Anarchism email list

New list for anarchists in Britain, email  BritishAnarchism-subscribe@yahoogroups.com to join

This is an invite to a new mailing list for anarchists in Britain called British anarchism. It has been set up because there was no general anarchist discussion and announcement list for anarchists in England, Scotland and Wales. The list will be semi-moderated to keep out spam and enforce the posting protocol below (which is modelled on the successful  IrishAnarchism@yahoogroups.com list).

The need for the list was identified while constructing the Anarchism in Britain index on the Struggle site. See  http://anarchism.ws/britain.html

The list is starting off with a small group of moderators all of whom have been active anarchists for a decade or more. To join the list
email  BritishAnarchism-subscribe@yahoogroups.com
OR visit  http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BritishAnarchism/

-- List posting protocol --

British Anarchism is a discussion list primarily for anarchists active in Britain. Others are welcome to join this list but they should recognise that the protocol below is intended to preserve this list purpose.

1. No person may send more than three posts in any given day to the list.

2. Posts cannot consist of more than 50% quotations from previous posts.

3. Members of political organisations other than anarchist ones are welcome to join this list for discussion but - don't send announcement of your party activities or those of its front groups here. - you are limited to one post per day

4. Do not forward mails from other lists unless you have added an introduction about why they are of interest to this list and proposing some activity around the issue. An exception to this are anarchist events in Britain or if you are an anarchist events/issues that you are involved with in Britain.

5. There is to be no flaming on the list

People who fail to respect this protocol will have their right to automatically post to the list removed. All future posts will be moderated.

How moderation works

Several anarchist activists in Britain are moderators of this list. Any of them may switch someone who sends posts in breach of the protocol to the list to moderated rather then automatic posting rights.

Posts sent to the list from people who are moderated can be approved by any of the lists moderators. If they have not been approved after two days any moderator can reject the post if they send a post to the person outlining the reasons why the post is being rejected. If they have not been approved after one week any moderator may simply delete the post.
