PSYBUS Charter

Members must clearly identify themselves in every post. Members are not permitted to use an alias or otherwise conceal their true identity.

  • No subscriber shall post solicitations nor seek the professional services of another on the PsyBUS list. Such exchanges shall be considered to be "spamming or off topic". Such spamming and off topic mail includes any attempt to solicit clients, customers, dissertation subjects or therapists.
  • Anyone on moderated status who re-subscribes under another name/address to circumvent the moderated status, regardless of their motive, will be permanently unsubscribed.
  • Use of this list is for legal, non-prejudicial purposes only, as defined by state and federal law in Nevada and the United States.
  • Baiting, taunting, name-calling and general disrespect for the points of view of others will not be tolerated.
  • PsyBUS subscribers agree to adhere to a "love it or leave it" policy. If subscribers do not agree with PsyBUS policies, they are free to leave the list at any time.

PsyBUS policies are updated at the sole discretion of the PsyBUS list owner, Pioneer Development Resources, Inc.

Enforcing List Rules

To facilitate respectful discussion, essential Netiquette policies will be enforced in the following manner at the sole discretion of the list owner:

  • First you will receive a courtesy warning from the list owner or administrator, and possibly asked to refrain from posting to the list for a week. If you post nonetheless, you will be permanently removed from the list.
  • If for any reason you post a public complaint about the courtesy warning, however veiled, you will be permanently removed from the list.
