Posting Guidelines***Please be advised that the guidelines immediately below this message relate to the official home of Surfing Sisters, the Forum. Guidelines for the Yahoo Group can be found following the Forum Guidelines.*** Surfing Sister Posting Guidelines Updated May 8, 2008 PRIVACY: E-mail addresses and names of sisters are not to be sold, shared, or otherwise abused. ACCESS/POSTING BY ANYONE OTHER THAN APPROVED MEMBERS OF SURFING SISTERS: Surfing Sisters is a private group restricted to only initiated members of Delta Zeta Sorority who are approved for forum access by the Vice President of Membership. Therefore, only approved members should post or login under their approved user name. If you are going to be offline for any reason (illness, hospitalization, out of town, limited computer access, etc.) and you need to get information to the group, please have a friend/family member contact an officer by e-mail to the following address: officers@surfingsisters.com. E-mails to this address go to the President, Vice President of Membership and Content Monitors. Please have your contact person e-mail the officer or other sister the information you would like posted and they will post the information to the forum for you. This guideline is established to keep confidentiality and privacy within the group. FORUM/SUB-FORUM ACCESS & MOVING POSTS The Forum includes a number of sub-forums and categories which have been organized to keep similar topics together, many of which are only accessible to Dues Paying Members (such as Taboo Topics, DZ Mommies, Television & Movie Spoilers, and DeeZeEBay). Dues Paying Members of Surfing Sisters will have access to all areas of the Forum, except for restricted sub-forums, such as the Executive Boardroom, Committee sub-forums, etc. Non-Dues Paying Members will only have access to the “WELCOME TO SURFING SISTERS CHAPTER HOUSE” Forum and all sub-forums contained within, as well as the following Sub-Forums: “Turtle Talk” and “Officer Announcements.” The Content Monitors will endeavor to keep threads within the appropriate Forum or Sub-forum. Therefore, if a thread is started in Turtle Talk which would be better suited to Taboo Topics or Television/Movie Spoilers, please be aware that it will be moved, and access will be restricted based upon each member’s status as a Dues Paying Member or Non-Dues Paying Member (this means, for example, that if a Non-Dues Paying Member starts a thread in Turtle Talk about a particular television show, it will be moved to Television/Movie Spoilers, and will no longer be accessible to the thread started). PUBLIC INFORMATION, DISCUSSION OF RITUAL, CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION & CORPORATE OR ILLEGAL COMMUNICATION: This forum has several levels of protection from outside sources, but cannot be guaranteed to be 100% safe (if your computer is left publicly logged on, anyone may view the content if they can access your computer). Due to this fact, there should be no discussion about ritual, the crest, the meaning of our badge or anything else that pertains to the secrets of our sisterhood. We also do not discuss military troop movements; and strongly encourage members to refrain from posting about intimate family secrets/stories. This list can be considered a legal means of communication in which what you write in the forum could be used against you in a court of law. If you are accessing the forum from work, please remember that you are on your company’s server and that could possibly be accessed by personnel within your company. SIGNATURES: The Forum allows members to set up a standard signature in the Personal Profile (which may be accessed under “My Controls”). Your Signature should include: Chapter Name and Initiation Year, College/University, and any current/specific Delta Zeta position. Please keep your signature relatively small, with no images, animated (such as glitter letters, or jumping characters) or otherwise. Every post will automatically include your display name and location along with a personalized avatar; therefore, your name does not need to be included in your signature line. Furthermore, you don’t need your email address or any web links as you can add those to your profile as well. You may include other personal information, such as links to appropriate websites, professional titles, etc. in your Personal Profile. It is not appropriate to list in your signature business, professional titles; personal or professional websites or any other business/professional information (phones/fax numbers, addresses, etc.). If you choose to add an inspirational quote to your signature, please keep it brief. AT-HOME CONSULTING OR BUSINESS RELTATED SELLING: Members shall not advertise/promote their home-based or work-at-home businesses online (either by unsolicited SPAM or in posts providing website information, etc.). Additionally, we ask that avatars not be used for advertisement logos or business advertisement. EXCEPTION: Please feel free to post any business links or information in the “Career Central” sub-forum of “The Chapter Room.” We encourage sisters to support each other in our endeavors. SOCIAL CAUSES: ALLOWED: A brief mention of a legitimate (please check an urban legend/hoax site first) website link can be posted. Example: “I just found that if you go to this website www.somecause.org ,that you can donate food to the masses or funding for cure of XYZ.” Personal mention/stories about certain causes can also be posted. Example: “I am walking in a race to cure XYZ in two weeks and am trying to raise donations for the cause, would anyone be willing to help donate?” (Please also reference “Solicitation of Money” section for additional guidelines.) PROHIBITED EXAMPLES: Do not cut and paste information from an email or website directly into a forum post in reference to a cause. Example: “I just got this in my e-mail box…Hi, my name is Amy Bruce and I am 7 years old, I have severe cancer from second hand smoke and a large tumor in my brain. The doctor says I will die soon if this isn’t fixed and my family can’t afford the bills. The XYZ Foundation has agreed to donate 7 cents for every name on this list. Please send this to everyone on your buddy list immediately.” This particular example is a hoax. Please do not paste a lengthy description of a cause you know to be true. Please find a web link or ask members to contact you off-line for more information. SOLICITATION OF MONEY: Solicitation of money for personal use is strictly prohibited. For fund-raising to be advertised, it must be for a trust, foundation or certified non-profit. If you are running/walking in a race (or similar) for a specific cause that meets one of the above requirements, you are most welcome to let sisters know. All funds requested must be paid directly to those organizations. Any requests on behalf of a Delta Zeta collegiate chapter must be approved through the officer board prior to posting. TABOO & TOUCHY SUBJECTS: Dues Paying Members of Surfing Sisters have access to the “Taboo Topics” sub-forum, which has a more detailed set of posting guidelines, described below. Otherwise, please keep in mind that not all of the members of Surfing Sisters have the same opinions, religion or political affiliation. A comment that you might not think is offensive, may be highly offensive or inciting to another sister. Conversely, something you find offensive or uncaring may not be meant that way. Please be considerate of your sisters and their feelings and point-of-view. Please treat this forum as you would a traditional alumnae chapter event…if your topic is not something that can be discussed over lunch with a variety of chapter members, then it is not appropriate outside of the Taboo Topics sub-forum. Please do not participate in escalation of a topic or “flaming”, it is better to let something go than to be disrespectful to another. The “Taboo Topics” sub-forum is the primary location to post any topic that might not be appropriate for 100% of the members. Some threads may be started specifically for the purpose of lively and respectful debate, other may be a place for like minded people to share their passionate views with one another, still others may be for discussing sensitive issues that may be otherwise uncomfortable for the general membership to read about (such as detailed medical or mental health issues). By reading and posting in the Taboo Topics sub-forum, you are agreeing to abide by the following rules:
TV, MOVIE & BOOK DISCUSSIONS: If you are discussing a TV show, movie or book and have information that might be a “spoiler” for some, please add in your subject header. The forum is also equipped with spoiler tags to cover sensitive information, and allow views to choose what they do or don’t want to see. Please remember that we are not all on the same time zone, so while some shows may have aired in your area, they may be playing in another. HEALTH & MEDICAL TOPICS: Obviously, we have a very diverse membership and while some people work in the medical/health field or can handle clinical or very specific information about an illness, others cannot. Please post health/medical topics in the “Medically Speaking” category of the “Taboo Topics.” PRAYER & POSITIVE THOUGHT REQUESTS: Please post all prayer/positive thought requests in the “Prayers and Good Thoughts” sub-forum. NAME CALLING & GENERAL DISRESPECT: This is obviously not tolerated on this forum. Remember that online messages or posts do have a tone and can come across in many different ways, so please make sure that what you type is not directly or intentionally disrespectful to another. If necessary, please use “emoticons” to help better express your opinion. Swearing and additional hostile talk is also not allowed on this list. If you feel a need to express a curse word, please know that the forum will automatically convert the word to symbols (i.e. #$%&*@). If you are on a rant, please note this in the subject line of your post. The Executive Board reserves the right to decide what is and what is not considered a curse word on this forum. HANDLING PROBLEMS & REPORTING POSTS:If you notice a post which violates any of these posting guidelines, you may send a notice to the Content Monitors by clicking the “! Report” button within the post in question, and providing an explanation of what you believe the violation to be. The Content Monitors will investigate the report upon receipt, and take necessary action, if any. MONITOR REMINDERS & FYI'S:From time to time, the Content Monitors will send out Private Messages or direct e-mails to sisters personally reminding them of the established guidelines. A reminder from a Monitor is meant to protect and maintain the principles of our alumnae chapter. If you wish to discuss the issue, please reply to the Monitor directly and she will be more than willing to clarify the situation. MODERATION:Due to the unique nature of the electronic forum, Surfing Sisters has created this set of Posting Guidelines to help the flow of conversation and maintain a level of communication that is acceptable to all. The Content Monitors will notify members privately if they fail to follows these rules. In serious cases, such as when a member posts something deemed offensive or disrespectful, they may receive an “official” warning. Each potential offense is discussed by the Content Monitors, but it is the responsibility of the Content Monitor(s) to bring it to the Executive Board’s attention and then notify the offender accordingly. After two “official” warnings, a member may be subject to “moderation” should any further violations occur. Moderation means that all posts by that member must be viewed prior to being approved by a Content Monitor (members may be asked to edit their posts prior to receiving such approval). Moderation will last for a term not fewer than 90 days. If there are two additional violations during this moderation period, the sister’s posting access will be terminated. She will be removed from the forum and will lose her chapter membership privileges. Once a member successfully completes the Moderation period, she will return to full posting status. Should she violate the guidelines at any time after her Moderation period, her membership is subject to termination as determined by the Board of Officers. ADDITONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE CHAPTER:
QUESTIONS, SUGGESTIONS OR COMMENTS ABOUT GUIDELINES:
*************************************************************** Yahoo Group Updated March 16, 2005 PRIVACY:E-mail addresses and names of sisters are ABSOLUTELY NOT to be sold, shared or otherwise abused. SUB-LISTS OF SURFING SISTERS:SSLosers (weight loss support), DZMommies, SSMilitary, and SSTeachers, DZ Readers, and SS Picture List are sub-lists of Surfing Sisters. In order to join, you must meet the same requirements to join as with Surfing Sisters. While these groups address different specific topics, these groups are subject to the same rules as Surfing Sisters, as well as monitoring and discipline by the Surfing Sisters officers. You must be a dues-paying member of the main list in order to join a sub-list. New sub-lists to Surfing Sisters are welcome. If you are interested in starting a new Yahoo sub-list off of Surfing Sisters, please contact the President. Your request will be considered by the board of officers. POSTS BY MEMBERS OTHER THAN SURFING SISTERS ARE PROHIBITED:Surfing Sisters is a private group restricted to only initiated members of Delta Zeta Sorority who are approved to the list serve by the V.P. of Membership, and therefore only those members should post or login under that approved Yahoo ID. If you are going to be offlist/offline for any reason (illness, hospitalization, out of town, limited computer access, etc.) and you need to get information to the list, please have a friend/family member contact an officer offlist or send an e-mail to the following address: SurfingSisters-owner@yahoogroups.com. E-mails to this address go to the President, V.P. Membership and three Monitors. Please have your contact person e-mail the officer or other sister the information you would like posted and they will post the information to the list for you. This guideline is established to keep confidentiality and privacy within the group. PUBLIC INFORMATION, DISCUSSION OF RITUAL, CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION & CORPORATE OR ILLEGAL COMMUNICATION:Although this is a closed group, it is on a public server and public domain. This means that the information is somewhat protected, but it is not guaranteed to be safe. We do not own the server, which means there should be no discussion about ritual, the crest, mottos/passwords, the meaning of the badge or anything else that pertains to the secrets of our sisterhood. We also do not discuss military troop movements or intimate family secrets/stories. This list can be considered a legal means of communication in which what you write in the forum could be used against you in a court of law. If you are e-mailing from work, please remember that you are on your company’s server and that any posts and the contents of those posts belong to your company and can be read by members of your corporation. SIGNING YOUR POSTS, AUTO SIGNATURES & OUT OF OFFICE REPLIES:Please sign all of your posts with your full name, chapter, initiation year and current location (city/state). It would also be appreciated if you are an officer on Surfing Sisters, an alumnae group president, a CCD/AAD or national officer if you would also please note your title. It is not appropriate to list in your signature your business, your professional title, your personal or professional websites or any other business/professional information (phones/fax numbers, addresses, etc.). If you desire to add an inspirational quote to your signature, please keep it brief. If you are using an auto signature, please remember the rules above and make sure that you are editing any additional information that might be on your signature. Please also remember that if you are going to be out of the office and are going to be applying an “Out of Office” response to incoming e-mails that you remember to switch your SS digest/e-mail options to “View posts at the Yahoo Groups site”. (The steps to do so can be found under “changing e-mail addresses and other e-mail options” within the guidelines.) This will stop numerous “out of office” reply posts to be returned to the SS’s site for insertion into the digests. AT-HOME CONSULTING OR BUSINESS RELATED SELLING:Members are not allowed to advertise/promote their home-based or work-at-home businesses online (unsolicited SPAM or in posts through providing website information, etc.). However, Surfing Sisters does have a database on the Yahoo Group site where members can enter their professional information (name, business description and e-mail address). If a sister is interested in finding a consultant, they can then search the database for the information and who to contact. WEIGHT OF POSTS & REPLYING TO E-MAILS:While everyone likes to post and express their opinion, please remember that this group receives over 1,000 posts per month and has over 300+ members. Some suggestions to help with this are as followed:
ARTICLES, VIGNETTES & POEMS:Although the forward (FW:) may have been removed from the text, "warm and fuzzy" stories, history lessons, urban legends, poems, adopt-a-cause, articles copied from newspapers or websites, or "editorials" are not permitted on this list. We generate a high amount of messages per month, this just adds additional information weight/noise to the Surfing Sister site. If you feel a need to post something like this, it would be appreciated if you would just reference the website address and anyone wanting to read the information can go there and do so. SOCIAL CAUSES:ON-LIST ALLOWED: A brief on-list mention of a legitimate (please check an urban legend/hoax site first) website link can be made. Example: I just found out that if you go to this website www.somecause.org that you can donate food to the masses or funding for cure of XYZ. Personal mention/stories about certain causes can also be made. Example: I am walking in a race to cure XYZ in two weeks and am trying to raise donations for the cause, would anyone be willing to help donate? (Please also see “Solicitation of Money” topic for additional guidelines on this.) PROHIBITED ON-LIST EXAMPLES: Do not cut and paste or straight a forwarded e-mail of a cause. Example: “I just got this in my e-mail box. Subj: Fwd: Cancer…Don’t Delete Please). Hi, my name is Amy Bruce and I am 7 years old. I have severe cancer from second hand smoke and a large tumor in my brain. The doctors say I will die soon if this isn’t fixed and my family can’t afford the bills. The XYZ Foundation has agreed to donate 7 cents for every name on this list. Please send this to everyone on your buddy list immediately…..” This particular example is a hoax, but please do not paste a lengthy description of a cause you do know is true. Please find a web link or ask members to contact you off-list for more information. SOLICITATION OF MONEY:Solicitation of money for personal use is strictly prohibited. For fund-raising to be advertised on-list, it must be for a trust, foundation or certified non-profit. If you are running/walking in a race (or similar) for a specific cause that meets one of the above requirements, you are most welcome to let sisters know. All funds requested must be paid directly to those organizations. Any requests on behalf of a Delta Zeta collegiate chapter must be approved through the officer board prior to posting on the list. OFFLIST MAILINGS & DEFINING SPAM:Surfing Sisters welcomes general communication (i.e. one on one) with sister's off-list, but mailing of all sisters off-list is prohibited. This is considered SPAM, as it is currently defined. If you feel all members would be interested in your information, please post a message to the list asking if anyone would be interested in contacting you off-list to obtain the information. Defining SPAM: SPAM is unsolicited e-mail on the Internet. From the sender's point-of view, it is often to a list culled from subscribers to a Usenet discussion group or obtained by companies that specialize in creating e-mail distribution lists. To the receiver, it usually seems like junk e-mail. In general, it is not considered good netiquette to send SPAM. It's generally equivalent to unsolicited phone marketing calls except that the users pays for part of the message since everyone shares the cost of maintaining the Internet. In terms of this list, it is unacceptable for any member to send other members SPAM. TABOO & TOUCHY SUBJECTS:Please keep in mind that not all of the sisters on this list have the same opinions, religious or political affiliations. A comment that you might not think is offensive, may be highly offensive or inciting to another sister. Conversely, something you find offensive or uncaring may not be meant that way. Please be considerate of your sisters and their feelings and points-of-view. Please treat this forum as you would a traditional alumnae chapter event - if your topic is not something that can be discussed over lunch with a variety of chapter members, then is it not appropriate here. Please do not participate in on-list escalation of a topic or “flaming”; it is better to let something go than to be disrespectful to another. NAME CALLING & GENERAL DISRESPECT:This is obviously not tolerated on this list. Remember that e-mails do have a tone and can come across in many different ways, so please make sure that what you type is not directly or intentionally disrespectful to another. If necessary, please use "emoticons" to help better express your opinion. Swearing and additional hostile talk is also not allowed on this list. If you feel a need to express a naughty word, please use the symbols keys at the top of your keyboard (i.e. #$^&*&^%$#@!). If you are on a rant, please note this in the subject line of your post. HANDLING PROBLEMS:If something happens on the list that you cannot handle privately, please notify the Site Monitors and let them know what is the problem and how it might best be handled. If you have a sister notify you that she has a problem with you or something you wrote, please remember that we are all sisters and to behave with civility, as you would were you attending a traditional alumnae chapter function. Please also do not participate in on-list escalation of a topic or “flaming”. MONITOR REMINDERS & FYI'S:From time to time, the Site Monitors will send out e-mails off list to sisters personally reminding them of the established guidelines. The reminder from the Monitor is to protect and maintain the principles of the group. If you wish to discuss the issue, please reply to the Monitor directly and she will be more than willing to clarify the situation. MODERATION:Due to the unique nature of the electronic forum, Surfing Sisters has created this set of Posting Guidelines to help the flow of conversation and maintain a level of communication that is acceptable to all. The Content Monitors will notify members offlist if they fail to follows these rules. In serious cases, such as when a member posts something offensive or disrespectful, they may receive an “Official” warning. Each potential offense is discussed by the Board, but it is the responsibility of the Content Monitor(s) to bring it to the Board’s attention and notify the offender accordingly. After two “Official” warnings, a member may be subject to “Moderation” should any further violations occur. Moderation means that all posts by that member must be viewed and edited for content, then subsequently posted on their behalf by a monitor. Moderation will last for a term not fewer than 90 days. If there are two additional violations during this Moderation period, the member’s membership is subject to termination. She will be unsubscribed from the group and will lose her chapter membership privileges. Once a member successfully completes the Moderation period, she will return to full posting status. Should she violate the guidelines at any time after her Moderation period, her membership is subject to termination as determined by the Board of Officers. EMOTICONS:Emotions are sometimes hard to convey in text, they can be misconstrued or misunderstood. If you want to help out the reader, emoticons and other acronyms (LOL, ROFL, IMP, etc.) can be used. If you are unsure of the appropriate emoticon or acronym to use, you can also use tags (<sarcasm>) or *sarcasm*. For more information on this subject, please check out the following website: http://newbie.net/smileyFAQ/index.html or for commonly used acronyms: http://www.post1.com/acronyms.html. Here are some commonly used emoticons used in this community. DH - Darling or Dear Husband, DBF: Darling or Dear Boyfriend, DF: Darling or Dear Fiancé, MIL: Mother-in-law (You can also use SIL for sister, BIL for brother or FIL for father), LOL: Laughing Out Loud, ROFL: Rolling On Floor Laughing, BTW: By The Way, SS: Surfing Sisters, IMP: In My Prayers, IMT: In My Thoughts, PE: Positive Energy. HEALTH AND MEDICAL TOPICS:As you know, we have a very diverse list and while some people work in the medical/health field or can handle clinical or very specific information about an illness, others cannot. Please review your post to make sure that you are being ‘politically correct’ when talking about an illness, accident, surgery, female problem, birth or related topic. While some can take this kind of “talk,” there are some people who can be turned off by graphic descriptions, so please consider this. It would be appreciated if medical updates were kept to a “within reason” minimum. While we know that this sometimes cannot be helped in the case of a sister or immediate family member with a severe illness, for the overall, it helps keep the weight/noise down on the Surfing Sisters list if general illness information can be updated on a longer time basis. PRAYER/POSITIVE THOUGHT REQUESTS:Prayer/positive thought requests are allowed on the list. Please remember when posting an intention that not all members of the group are religious and so special care should be taken in asking for a request. SENDING GIFTS AND CARDS FOR ANY OCCASION:Surfing Sisters is a very large group with sisters reaching many milestones in their lives whether getting married or starting a family to sadly, falling ill or even passing away. Because of the number of members, we do not send “group gifts” or have “group showers,” etc. Addresses, with the consent of the addressee, may be posted to the list so that sisters can send cards or gifts personally on an individual basis as each member sees fit. MEMORIAL GUIDELINES:The Officers of Surfing Sisters suggest that a memorial gift to the Delta Zeta Foundation would be an endearing way to express sympathy for a sister’s loss. Donations can be sent to: Delta Zeta Foundation; 2002 E. Church Street; Oxford, OH 45056. Please indicate the recognition of your memorial be forwarded to the Surfing Sister and include her address. Be sure to include your name and address if you would like a receipt for tax purposes. Cards and online condolences are also appropriate. Should you experience the loss of an immediate loved one, please post on the Surfing Sisters Yahoo Group Site the full name of the loved one, your name and an address in which cards can be sent. PHOTOS:Photos for Surfing Sisters are handled in the Surfing Sister’s Picture List Yahoo Group. If you would like to post or see posted photos, please post at http://groups.yahoo.com/SurfiingSistersPictureList. Please only post photos to this list and not the main Surfing Sisters list. Because many of our sisters are “daily digest” subscribers to the main Surfing Sisters list, attachments are not permitted and will not be displayed. OTHER COMMON NETIQUETTE RULES:http://www.albion.com/netiquette/index.html CHANGING E-MAIL ADDRESSES, OTHER E-MAIL OPTIONS & ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE GROUP:If you would like to change from one e-mail address to another, you can do so easily without having to unsubscribe from Surfing Sisters. Please note that because of Yahoo’s security set-up/rules, a Site Monitor cannot do this for you. Here is what you do: 1) Log-on to Yahoo Groups using your Yahoo ID and password – www.yahoogroups.com. 2) On the left side, under “My Groups” you will see a list of all the Yahoo Groups you belong to. Click on the one you wanting to change information for. 3) Once you are in that group, click “Edit my Membership” on the right side. 4) Scroll down to the segment to change e-mail and edit as appropriate. You can also use steps 1, 2 and 3 if you would like to change other e-mail options including: chainging your message delivery to daily digests, view posts at the Yahoo Groups site or just receive “special notices”. If you are going to be off or away from your e-mail for a while, and you receive daily digests, switching to “view posts at site” is a great way to not clog up your inbox while out. You will still be able to log into Yahoo Groups and read/make posts. When you come back, then you can switch your option back to daily digests. As you have probably noticed, Surfing Sisters is a very unique group and in some ways very different, but yet also very similar to a regular chapter or alumnae group. Within this group, we offer many fun activities such as “Questions of the Week” (QOTW), “Virtual Candlepasses” and “Secret Sister”.
QUESTIONS, SUGGESTIONS OR COMMENTS ABOUT GUIDELINES:If you have any questions, suggestions or comments about guidelines, please contact one of the monitors or officers offlist and they will be happy to respond to you. E-mailing questions, comments or suggestions onlist to the group as a whole is not appropriate. When your concern is voiced offlist to an officer, it is brought to the attention of the officer board and open for discussion. The monitors and officers welcome your comments and interest in helping to keep Surfing Sisters a happy and exciting place for all, so please do not hesitate to make your comments known. Maintenance GuidelinesMany of our members interact with Surfing Sisters directly from our Yahoo Groups web site: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SurfingSisters/ Yahoo places restrictions on how much space we are allowed to consume on their server. Consequently, as our membership grows, so does the amount of space that we use. Therefore, these guidelines have been created for utilizing the features of the Yahoo Groups site. FILESAny Surfing Sisters subscriber can upload files to the site. Any format is acceptable, including but not limited to documents (.doc), spreadsheets (.xls), and image files (.jpg, .gif, .bmp, .pdf). Files must:
As a rule, files over 6 months old will be removed from the site, and saved (if necessary) offline by the Technical Monitor. Exceptions to this rule include files that are essential to chapter business including those used as auto-replies to joining/leaving members, and those containing “official” Surfing Sisters information. PHOTOSAny Surfing Sisters subscriber can upload photos to the site. However, as a rule, it is preferable that photos be posted to the Surfing Sisters Picture List, and not to the Photos section of the Surfing Sisters web site. Due to the size, photos older than 3 months will be removed from the site and saved (if necessary) offline by the Technical Monitor. LINKSAny Surfing Sisters subscriber may post a link on the Yahoo Groups site, as long as it is Delta Zeta-related. Links to alumnae chapter web sites will periodically be purged and included on the main Surfing Sisters official web site (www.surfingsisters.com). DATABASEAny subscriber may create tables in the database section of the Surfing Sisters Yahoo Group. Tables should be relevant to a current discussion or be Delta Zeta-related. Yahoo Groups allows just 10 tables to be in the Database section at any given time. Therefore, if space needs to be created for a new table, the Technical Monitor, with consent of the officers, will determine which table is the least utilized. This table will then be exported to a spreadsheet and posted to the Files section for a period of 6 months. The Technical Monitor will review records in the tables every 3 months, and will delete outdated information as necessary. POLLSAny Surfing Sisters subscriber can create polls. Polls should conclude no later than 1 week after creation. The Technical Monitor will delete those polls older than 3 months. Yahoo Groups does not allow for exporting of poll information.
