This is an auto-generated reminder of the group rules. The group rules have been
updated on October 15, 2008.
* Please TRIM YOUR POSTS. This means that you should not include the whole
message you are replying to when you post to the Working_Out group. It tends to
clutter up the group and makes it difficult for digest readers to follow. It is
also hard on people with limited mailbox space or who have to pay for their
download time. It is best to trim included posts to no more than a few lines,
just enough to remind people what the post you are replying to was about. It's
also only polite to not make other members wade through the same email over and
over again on the digest. It's also a huge waste of bandwidth, esp. for those on
dial-up.
* Please keep the messages on topic. All off-topics, including professional
sports, will be deleted immediately. Although, topics about general health and
diet will be allowed. There are many other yahoo groups for professional sports,
but this group is for people who can't/won't make the team on a professional
level.
* Do not advertise online stores of any kind. Spam is also not allowed. Personal
websites (if they involve giving advice or motivation on exercise, health and/or
diet) are ok as long as you're not promoting online stores and making money.
Spammers and money-making members will be deleted from the group. You are free
to share your work out blogs and/or food diaries. If you are involved with a
"runner's club", or a fitness group/event and you would like to invite people to
join you if they are in your area, feel free to do so by making an announcement
in the group and/or including it in the calender section. Charity events are
also ok.
* You may include links such as your personal blogs/websites, charity pages,
fitness yahoo groups and other related websites in your signature at the bottom
of each message you send to the group, but please ask permission first.
* Please do not include embedded photos or attachments to the messages you are
sending to the group without prior permission. YOU MUST ASK PERMISSION FIRST!
Attachments have been disabled from members' use to avoid sending viruses to the
members who receive individual messages from the group.
* Do not bash anyone. No name-calling, insults, or offensive/hostile language
towards anyone. Please take debates and convertroverisal topics off the message
board. Debates will not result in a removal, but if there is any disrespect like
name-calling and insults towards another member, the violating member(s) may be
removed and banned from the group. This kind of behavior will not be tolerated.
If you have a problem with another member, please contact the group owner or
moderator by sending an email to
Working_Out-owner@yahoogroups.com
* If you do not wish to receive daily digests or individual emails from the
group, please go to the group directly and click on "edit my membership" at the
top left corner to change your email options to "no email" or "special notices".
You may lurk if you wish, but group participation would be nice so everyone can
get to know each other.
* If you chose to receive individual emails or daily digests from the group,
please check your email at least once a week to avoid bouncing. If you are found
bouncing, you will be removed, but not banned. Bouncing is when yahoo tries to
send you an email and for some reason it has been returned. However, you may
still be receiving mail. Yahoo still records your membership as bouncing. After
requesting a "reactivation" be sent to your account, you neglected to respond,
leaving the only option to be unsubscription. You may rejoin the group when the
problem or situation is fixed. This does not apply to those who have unlimited
inbox space such as yahoo mail users.
