- List members may NOT forward or read aloud messages to Avectra or to any person who is not a member of the Group. If a member violates this rule, they, along with all other AUG members employed by the same organization as the violator, will be given a warning for the first time offense if it is deemed non-malicious and unintended, as determined by the AUG Board. Any other violation of this rule with the exception of a non-malicious first time offense as stated previously is grounds for termination of the entire organization's AUG list privileges at the sole discretion of the AUG board. The Board, at its sole discretion, may immediately terminate the list membership of those violators who clearly were aware of the rules and choose to maliciously or intentionally abuse the AUG list for personal or competitive gain.
- Do not challenge or attack others. The discussions on this list are meant to stimulate conversation not to create contention. Let others have their say, just as you may.
- All defamatory, abusive, profane, threatening, offensive, or illegal materials are strictly prohibited.
- Use caution when discussing products. Information posted on the lists is available for all list members to see, and comments are subject to libel, slander, and antitrust laws.
- Please note carefully all items listed in the disclaimer and legal rules below, particularly regarding the copyright ownership of information posted to the list.
- Do not post commercial messages. The cyberspace term for this is spamming. Contact people directly with products and services that you believe would help them.
