Listserv Rules, Guidelines and
Terms of Use
Welcome to the National Arab American Bar Association (NAABA) Listserv! To ensure a positive experience for all members, please review and adhere to the following rules and guidelines.
General Rules
Respectful Communication: All defamatory, abusive, profane, threatening, offensive, or illegal materials or language are strictly prohibited. Refrain from "flaming," challenging, or attacking others. Discussions should stimulate conversation, not create contention.
Confidentiality and Caution: Exercise caution when discussing sensitive information. Remember that posts are public and subject to libel, slander, and antitrust laws. Avoid discussing attorney fees or charges, as this can be deemed price-fixing.
No Commercial Posts: Do not post commercial messages. Contact individuals directly for product or service information.
Spam and Solicitation: No spam, solicitation, jokes, chain letters, petitions, or similar content is allowed.
Political Content: Political content is not permitted and will be removed.
Social Network Invitations: Do not use the listserv to invite the entire list to join your social networks. Individual invitations are allowed.
Etiquette Guidelines
Signature Tag: Include a signature tag with your name, affiliation, location, and email address on all messages.
Relevant Messages: Send messages to the entire list only when they benefit everyone. Research your questions before posting, and make your subject line clear and concise.
Reply Etiquette: Include only relevant portions of the original message in your reply. Avoid sending "thanks" or "me, too" messages to the entire list—send these directly to individuals.
Administrative Messages: Do not send unsubscribe requests or other administrative messages to the list. Follow the directions at the bottom of the listserv email to unsubscribe.
Lengthy Messages: Warn subscribers of lengthy messages in the subject line or at the beginning of the message body with "Long Message."
Auto Reply Messages: Set a rule in your email application to prevent auto-reply messages from being sent to the listserv.
Legal and Enforcement

Indemnification: By using the listserv, subscribers agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless NAABA, its committees, sections, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, and agents from any claims arising out of or resulting from a breach of these guidelines.
Content Management: NAABA does not pre-screen, verify, or edit content posted by users but reserves the right to investigate suspected violations and take appropriate action. This includes warning users, disabling or suspending privileges, deleting content, and terminating access without prior notice for non-compliance.
