• Messages are welcomed that relate to any of the aims of the list.
• Messages must not be libellous, abusive (either to other members or to non members), and must not contain swear words.
• Messages must not incite or glorify illegal acts.
• Commercial advertisements and unsolicited “spam” are generally not allowed. An exception is made for advertisements for the benefit of the WHR (e.g. “special train running this weekend”); these are allowed provided they relate in some obvious way to the common interests of members as expressed in the aims, above.
• Members should use the general Netiquette Guidelines (RFC1855), especially Section 3.

Moderation:

• If in the view of the moderators, a member breaches any of the rules, their messages will be moderated until the moderators agree that this is no longer required.
• If a member is moderated, then they will be informed and they will be told why they have been moderated.
• Messages from a moderated member will be accepted or rejected but not modified by the moderator.
• If in the view of the moderators, a member grossly breaches the rules and refuses to abide by them even after a period under moderation, then the member will be removed from the list, and a note and reason will be posted to the list explaining why. The person will not be allowed to rejoin.
• The first few messages from each new member will be moderated for a short probation period. This will usually not last more than one month.
