Digital BW, The Print

The topic of this Yahoo! group is digital black and white printing. Please
end this thread immediately. There are other places to discuss such things.
 
By joining this group everyone agreed to abide by the group guidelines which
include remaining on-topic. If you have forgotten those guidelines then
please review them in the "Files" section of the forum.
 
The important paragraphs in this situation are:
 
"Please only post messages and questions relating to making B&W (monochrome)
prints using digital techniques. This may sound rather narrow but it can be
very broad since it is impossible to discuss final output without
considering input in great detail. The discussion will include all aspects
of photography from image capture through final print, but posters should
make an effort to relate their posts to the ultimate production of B&W
prints. 

"Users who repeatedly make off topic posts may have their ability to post
restricted or their membership terminated at the discretion of the group
Owner and/or Moderators. By participating in this forum users agree that
what constitutes an off topic post is solely at the discretion of the group
Owner and/or Moderators This may sound harsh but from experience it is
essential to maintaining a high quality and useful forum.

"If you have not done so already, read the Yahoo! Groups Terms of Service
These cover key issues regarding posting on this forum and other Yahoo
locations. By participating in the group you agree to adhere to the Terms of
Service and recognize that failing to adhere to these terms will result in a
loss of membership.

"Use of the forum by the members includes an expectation of basic good
manners and good taste. While digital B&W printing would seem like a very
mild topic to most, those of us with experience know that people can become
very impassioned over their art, ideas, and choice of materials. Open and
candid discussion is encouraged. However, courtesy must prevail and it is
expected that exchanges should not deteriorate into personal insults,
harassment, threats, etc. Beyond these obvious breaches of civilized
behavior, users who are persistently hostile, aggressive or argumentative
will be considered to be in violation of the rules and spirit of this forum.
In addition the group Owner and Moderators reserve the right to restrict the
access or membership of any member of the group as they feel necessary in
order to maintain the guidelines and decorum of the group.

"If posts are made in violation of these rules, intervention may be taken by
the Owner and/or Moderators as deemed necessary including restrictions on
posting,or loss of membership by offending members and/or the deletion of
messages posted to the forum. Due to time constraints and the large size of
the forum actions may be taken without advance warning or notice to those
effected. By using this forum members agree to abide by the group
guidelines; to be bound by the decisions of the group Owner and Moderators
regarding posts and membership status; and to hold the group Owner and
Moderator blameless for any actions they may take to uphold the group
guidelines."

 
Sincerely,
Martin Wesley
Group Owner
