The Norskklassen mailing list has been operating since 1998, and has become a gathering place for over 1400 learners of Norwegian. With such a large group the list can easily become clogged with traffic, or degenerate into flame wars between opinionated individuals. Therefore the list is moderated; postings may be deleted if they are considered offensive or irrelevant.

Please follow these guidelines when posting to the list:

• Send personal replies off-list. This usually requires copying and pasting the sender's address into your mail program's "To:" field. Just clicking "Reply" sends your reply to everyone.
  
  
• Change the subject line if you change the topic.
  
  
• Change the subject line if you reply to a digest !
  
  
• When replying, delete unneccessary text from the original message. This especially applies to digest users. Most mail programs include everything in your reply by default.
  
  
• Avoid wandering off-topic. People are here to learn Norwegian.
  
  
• If you are having problems with the three additional Norwegian vowels, please see this page and/or the FAQ before posting questions on the list.
  
  
• Try to include some Norwegian in every posting. We all want to learn!
  
  
• Don't monopolize the list. This is a forum for discussion, not monologues.
  
  
• Finally, be considerate and generous when replying to other's postings. Flame wars are counter-productive in a classroom. Let's maintain an encouraging atmosphere in our virtual classroom.
  
  

List members who do not follow these guidelines may be given a reminder. Members who repeatedly post offensive or inflammatory messages may lose their posting rights.
