<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT COLOR="#333333" SIZE=1 FACE="Trebuchet MS">THE DAILY DROOL is not the place for flames in any form. If this rule is broken, the offending subscriber will be removed from the list. Deliberate attempts to disrupt the list, use it to discuss other topics unrelated to basset hounds, or use it as a format for position statements or axe-grinding will be frowned upon and the offenders will be asked by the moderators to cease. THE DAILY DROOL is, first and foremost, a place for people who love basset hounds. Only rescue or Basset Hound BHCA Club fundraising posts are acceptable. No commercial posting of any kind is allowed on the list. Please keep fundraising posts to an initial announcement, perhaps followed up by a final reminder before the fundraiser is over. Members of the Daily Drool under no circumstances should use the list to 'pick off' addresses for the purpose of sending *unwanted* email - chain, spam, commercial or otherwise. Failure to adhere to the rule will result in suspension of membership.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT COLOR="#333333" SIZE=1 FACE="Trebuchet MS">The sale of basset hound puppies via THE DAILY DROOL is prohibited although litter announcements and puppy updates are most welcome. Rescue and adoption placement requests are acceptable postings as well. </FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT COLOR="#333333" SIZE=1 FACE="Trebuchet MS">Prior to being posted on the Drool, all messages are reviewed for appropriateness by the moderators. Inappropriate messages sent to the list, including but not limited to posts that are abusive, offensive, designed to disrupt the friendly Drool environment, or do not otherwise adhere to the Drool Rules may be rejected at the moderators’ discretion.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT COLOR="#333333" SIZE=1 FACE="Trebuchet MS">Because members tend to be passionate and care deeply about certain issues, there will be times when members disagree with one another. Friendly disagreements and discussion are encouraged, both on and off list, provided that members remain respectful of one another and other Droolers. If a member receives a private e-mail from another member that is abusive, harassing in nature, or offensive, the member should calmly ask the offending person to stop sending him/her private e-mail messages. If the offender continues to e-mail after being asked to stop, the member should report the incident to the moderators and forward all correspondence between the two parties, including but not limited to the request to the offending member to cease e-mail communication. The moderators will determine what action, if any, needs to be taken at that point.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT COLOR="#333333" SIZE=1 FACE="Trebuchet MS">FORWARDING OR SUPPLYING THE DAILY DROOL TO ANYONE NOT ON OUR DAILY DROOL SUBSCRIBER LIST IS STRICTLY FORBIDDEN AND WILL RESULT IN IMMEDIATE AND IRREVOCABLE CANCELLATION OF SUBSCRIPTION.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT COLOR="#333333" SIZE=1 FACE="Trebuchet MS">None of the forementioned is intended to stifle discussion; it *is* intended to ensure that problems do not arise and take over civilized, thoughtful discussions. These rules have been developed to avoid future misunderstandings. Please consider THE DAILY DROOL as many of us do, as an extended family, a place to share, care and learn.</FONT></SPAN></P>
