I'd think the following might be worthy of consideration for enforcement: - Do not send spam - Send all of your e-mails in English. Only use other languages on mailing lists where that is explicitly allowed (e.g. French on debian-user-french). - Make sure that you are using the proper list. In particular, don't send user-related questions to developer-related mailing lists. - Wrap your lines at 80 characters or less for ordinary discussion. Lines longer than 80 characters are acceptable for computer-generated output (e.g., ls -l). - Do not send automated "out-of-office" or "vacation" messages. - Do not send subscription or unsubscription requests to the list address itself; use the respective -request address instead. - Never send your messages in HTML; use plain text instead. - Avoid sending large attachments. - When replying to messages on the mailing list, do not send a carbon copy (CC) to the original poster unless they explicitly request to be copied. - If you send messages to lists to which you are not subscribed, always note that fact in the body of your message. - Do not use foul language; besides, some people receive the lists via packet radio, where swearing is illegal. - Try not to flame; it is not polite.
