Some Group guidelines
Messages
The
CYC-Net discussion group can be used for providing general Child and Youth Care information (conferences,
courses, new books, etc), for requests for help and information (for
literature on a given subject, for a "what can I do when ..." issue) and for
discussion on any relevant Child and Youth Care issues of the day.
Length
Try to keep messages as short and to the point as
possible. Long, unwieldy messages tend to lose the interest of the
reader.
Direct messaging
Our group moderators may, from time to time, send a direct message to
someone who has posted on the group ie. bypassing the group members.
Moderating
Moderating includes three aspects:
- When a group member is not being helped by the discussion around a question, a moderator may step in to offer information, suggest further reading or recommend a resource.
- To keep posted material within the ethics of our field and within the posting rules set out on each discussion group.
- Removing any incriminating, discriminatory, or legally contentious information.
General
Normal internet etiquette (netiquette) applies. Only
postings directly relevant to the field of Child and Youth Care will be approved by
our moderators. No commercial advertising
or self-promotion
will be accepted, although we will, from time to time, allow promotional
postings from our financial supporters. Links to external web sites which might contain
relevant information might also from time to time be posted inside discussions.
This will be at the discretion of the editors of CYC-Net. In these cases, CYC-Net does not
endorse the views or content of any external site.
Probably the dominant language is going to be English, but as CYC-Net is a world-wide network, be aware of such things as time zones, spelling differences, cultural sensitivities, local customs etc.
