Email and Calendar Policy

Listserve/Email Policy:
SF Tri Club maintains two email group lists: sftriclub@yahoogroups.com and sftriclub_announcements@yahoogroups.com.

The sftriclub@yahoogroups.com list is not moderated, as we are not a stuffy group. The primary focus is triathlon-related discussion. You can also send off-topic messages, but please keep it clean and in good taste. We encourage off-topic posts be kept to a dull roar so that we may better hear the more appropriate triathlon related posts. We do like good-natured ribbing and joking, but will not tolerate flaming other members or spamming the group. No emails for commercial (other than, say, selling a bike or other 'classified' type sale, roommate seeking, and maybe an occasional yak ride) or charitable purposes without prior approval from the club's board of directors. We will remove offenders who abuse our open policy.

Note: When sending messages to the group, please use clear headers for easy sorting. Suggested headers: [NEWS], [WORKOUT], [RACE], [NON-TRI], [HOUSING], etc. If the volume of email is too heavy for your taste, we recommend changing your yahoogroups setting to "daily-digest" mode.

The sftriclub_announcements@yahoogroups.com group is for those who are only interested in official club events/news but not discussions. Only board members and officers may post to this group and its purpose is for club announcements only.

Club Calendar Policy:
The club’s calendar is available for any member to post events and activities are. There are, however, a few rules. Only triathlon or club related events may be posted to the calendar. Posts about any event that charges a fee or is for a commercial or charitable purpose MUST be authorized by the club’s board of directors. The board reserves the right to edit any post that may contain objectionable content. Keep titles somewhat sensible so people know what the event is. Lastly, no html markup in the titles of events, except those posted by the board for club events.
