Mailing List Administrators:
Removal of an Administrator


A mailing list administrator may be removed without notice for the following reasons:

  • Failing to provide a current contact address.
  • Closing the list by unsubscribing everyone, or by refusing to allow anyone to subscribe.

A mailing list administrator may also be removed for the following reasons, if not corrected upon notice:

  • Changing the focus of the list.
  • Archiving the mailing list anywhere other than RootsWeb without permission.
  • Using RootsWeb's resources to sell or promote services (or items) on the list without approval.

A mailing list administrator may be temporarily removed for the following reason:

  • In extreme circumstances, a RootsWeb staff member may assume temporary control of a list if there seems to be no alternative way to end problems or disputes that are detrimental to the list and/or RootsWeb. This would include, but is not limited to, threats, promoting mailbombings, or passing along chain letters.
