Lord of the Rings Games Mailing List

The Lord of the Rings Games Mailing List was created for the discussion of Games Workshop's Lord of the Rings games and all aspects of the games, including, but not limited to, the rules, the models, fiction, new rules, rumours, the books and movies, etc.

The general attitude of the list is light-hearted, with the (un)occasional joke or comment made in jest. However, certain types of jokes or comments can be offensive to some and should not be made on the list. For a listing of these types of jokes, see below in the "Do Not Discuss or Post:" section.

Please limit inclusions (the amount of material left in a message that you are responding to) to only what is needed to be able to understand the thread. This is to help cut down on bandwidth usage so that the list is easier to read for everyone.

Be courteous to each other at all times! Do not say something to other members of the list or about other members of the list that you would not want said about you. Remember that what may not offend you may offend someone else.

(The following list is included so that the list can stay friendly and enjoyable for all. Though some people may consider themselves "thick-skinned" and able to take such jokes, etc., there are others who do not feel that such jokes and comments are appropriate, and thus the following list is included in the interest of avoiding conflict for the good of the entire list.)
-Jokes about another member's country, region, state, city, nationality, religion, race, grammar, spelling, or anything else that could be considered insulting.
-Comments cutting down either the authors of the game, the sculptors of the models, or Games Workshop.
-Comments saying that an army/troop/character/whatever is cheesy.  If you think something is unbalanced, bring it up as a civil discussion - you might even learn an easy way to beat it!

Material Posted to the List

If you post material to this list, it becomes the property of yourself, yahoogroups.com, and the entire list (the only exception is material posted by Games Workshop Ltd., in which case only yahoogroups.com can claim partial ownership).  This has been placed in here to prevent arguments over ownership of anything posted to the list.  If you think this rule is unfair, build yourself a site with your material and post the URL instead of the actual material.
Please note that though this means that anything posted to the list is fair game for people to place on their own websites, it is just good netiquette to ask permission before posting another's work to your own website.  Anyone who posts material on their site against the wishes of its author will be asked to work out a resolution with the author, or be removed from the mailing list.

Messages Posted by Games Workshop

Any messages posted by Games Workshop are not subject to flaming.  They should be read and regarded as extremely important by anyone.  Any Intellectual Property rules, etc. posted by Games Workshop should be paid attention to and followed by all members of the list.

Conclusion

If you have any questions, comments, or complaints about the above, about another list member, or about the list in general, I can be contacted at gw-lotr-owner@yahoogroups.com.
