COPA’s Group Email Policy
First and foremost we must at all costs keep our COPA Email Group an open and friendly forum where members can have fun in an exchange of all things Parrot Head. Our three basic unwritten rules have always been keep it positive, family friendly and Parrot Head Centric. To ensure we keep it positive, family friendly and Parrot Head Centric we ask each of you to follow some basic for use of our COPA Email Group and they are as follows:
- No emails on political positions, religion, or sports meant to incite or inflame.
- No general rants or open-to-the-public emails/letters professing your life's position. Please keep it off the COPA Email Group.
- All private/personal conversations should be taken back channel. For clarification back channel (B/C) means...If you want to address one person, DO NOT HIT Reply to all, click forward and hit or add the person’s email's address you want to contact.
- And PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, no more FW:FW:FW: jokes or other emails that require sending to ten other friends or else, at one time we averaged 70 or more of those type emails per month.
- And at all costs let’s keep it PHun, PHamily PHriendly and Parrot Head Centric, because that's why we are all here.
We are not trying to restrict anyone's usage of the group, what we are simply trying to do is use the COPA Email Group for its intended purpose, PHun, PHamily PHriendly, Parrot Head Centric.
We do not believe anyone will intentionally violate the basic rules of the group as we know how respectful everyone in the group is of each other. But we do feel it necessary just the same to outline the consequences for repeat violators. In the unlikely event this occurs, as the rules are outlined and understood, so should the consequences be outlined and understood. They are as follows:
1st Violation: A written email warning from the COPA President
2nd Violation: A 2nd written email warning from the COPA President
3rd Violation: Removal from the COPA Email Group by vote of the ExComm until at least January 1 of the following year or longer based on the actual violation
