MAPS: GUIDELINES FOR AUTHORS
If you're considering posting to the forum, please review these guidelines
first.
Thanks,
JON
Moderator
--------------
1. Topics may include current news, book reviews, factual questions about
psychedelics or marijuana, psychedelics and marijuana in the media, ideas
for research and fundraising, and articles in the MAPS quarterly bulletin.
Students who have written class papers on psychedelic topics are
encouraged to share their work here. Questions about anything MAPS is
doing, or suggestions for anything MAPS should be doing, are encouraged.
General drug policy discussions (prohibition vs. legalization) are not
encouraged unless they specifically relate to research. Examples of
acceptable drug policy topics include: the influence of drug policy on
research, or the policy implications of research.
2. For purposes of legal safety, messages containing confessions of
personal illegal drug use will not be posted to the group. Generally,
reports on collections of personal experiences from a large subject number
are preferred over n=1 studies. A list of other groups that encourage
discussion of general drug policy, trip reports, and how to get high, is
attached.
3. (A) Please send list submissions to maps-forum@xxxxxxxx, not to the
moderator's personal address or to owner-maps-forum@xxxxxxxxxx this
creates technical problems with the formatting of your message. (B) Please
submit your posts in ASCII (basic keyboard) text only. No HTML or funny
characters. (C) Please do not ask the moderator to research, revise, or
spell-check your message for you. Understand the moderator's job consists
entirely in accepting/rejecting posts and making suggestions for revision.
4. Posted comments should be presented at a level appropriate for a
classroom or a professional meeting. This means: (A) Assume a skeptical
audience. Provide argumentation and evidence, rather than simply asserting
your beliefs. Clearly state the central point you are trying to make early
in your message. Provide definitions and/or examples when using unusual
terminology or advanced concepts. Make references to the literature and/or
URL's whenever possible. (B) By the same token, please provide an
introduction, summary, or discussion of all references or URL's posted to
the list. Don't just post web addresses and say, "check this out." (C)
Although original content is prefered, relevant cross-posts from other
sources are welcome (especially when an introduction explaining the
relevance is included).
5. A maximum of five messages will be selected for posting to the list
each day (or, when the moderator takes a day off, a maximum of 35/week).
Short posts are prefered over longer posts. Consider breaking up longer
works into a series of installments over a week or several weeks. If you
have already received five messages from the forum in the past 24 hours,
please wait until the next day to post. Persons who have not submitted
recently will be given priority over those who post to the list often. In
general, it is prefered that individual subscribers post no more often
than once per week and only once or twice per thread (although there are
numerous exceptions). Consider whether your response to a post is better
sent to the author rather than to the entire list.
6. When responding to a post on the list, *briefly* quote only the
relevant part of what you are specifically responding to, and write your
message under the quote.

Subject: Other lists of interest: DRCNET and Lycaeum
One of the hardest parts of my job as moderator is telling an author that
their post-- while well-written and informative-- is off-topic for
MAPS-Forum. To explore some of these important off-topics in greater
depth, I recommend the lists at listproc@xxxxxxxxxx and
majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx For example, many of these lists provide a lot more
emphasis on drug-war politics and first person drug experiences. Another
great resource is the Lycaeum web site, www.lycaeum.org. For subscription
instructions for these lists, please send email with the message text,
help, to the list server addresses provided below.
