Acceptable Use Policy

From NANOG

As of this writing, the NANOG mailing list AUP is as follows:

1. Discussion focuses on Internet operational and technical issues as described in the charter.
2. Postings of issues inconsistent with the charter are prohibited.
3. Postings to multiple mailing lists are discouraged.
4. Postings that include foul language, character assassination, and lack of respect for other participants are prohibited.
5. Blatant product marketing is unacceptable.
6. Postings of political, philosophical, and legal nature are discouraged.
7. Postings must be made using real, identifiable names and addresses, rather than aliases.

Individuals who violate these guidelines are contacted personally and asked to adhere to the guidelines. If an individual persists in violating the guidelines, merit filters the offender's messages to the list.

The full Charter and AUP for the mailing list are available on the Official NANOG site.
