Details of a particular youth club's weekly programme is considered too detailed! - Bible study outlines should be referred to s.r.c.bible-study, unless specifically youth-oriented with explicitly defined youth characteristics. - Discussions about infant/adult baptism, doctrinal differences, what is a cult, etc. should be referred to soc.religion.christian. - Discussions of general youth behavior will be evaluated as to whether it is better here or in misc.kids or alt.parents-teens. - Discussions about church/christian music (as opposed to youth performances or music in youth events) should be referred to rec.music.christian. - Discussions about home schooling and release-time christian education will be evaluated as to whether it is better here or in misc.education. MODERATION GUIDELINES - The moderator will reject personal attacks, ad hominum and postings with scatalogical/profane language or images; - The moderator will act to limit repititious discussions and those that seem to be leading nowhere; - The moderator will interpret "Christian" broadly for the sake of encouraging discussion, including groups some may think cultic, and permitting contributions by such groups of youth programs and issues in dealing with youth. - The moderator will use his/her judgement as to when discussion of programs ceases and discussion of doctrine begins. - The moderator will return or re-direct any articles which cross the charter guidelines. - The moderator will provide a brief explanation to the sender of any article which is rejected (unless the article is obviously not suitable for the group or contains profane language etc - in which case the moderator won't waste his/her time!) - The moderator will, from time to time, post the charter and moderation guidelines to the group so that regular contributors can be reminded of the group's purpose, and new "members" can get a feel for what is going on. - the CHANGE OF MODERATOR-procedures are available from the moderator on request. These define the way in which a new moderator should be chosen should the current moderator become unavailable, or if the group is unhappy with the current moderation. These guidelines will only be posted to the group if a request for a change of moderator is received, or if the moderator steps down.
