Email Discussions

For constabulary purposes, and until directed otherwise, I think that the way I will be planning to handle this is the following:

Whereas:

  • Emails can be forged, and
  • Any comment taken out of context is more likely to be misinterpreted, and
  • It is not inherently apparent to all email recipients that their discussions might be revealed to others

Private email discussions shall be defined as:

  • Email discussions that do not use CZ resources.

Public email discussions shall be defined as:

  • Email discussions using CZ resources and
  • Include a prior acknowledgement by all recipients that their privacy rights are released.

Public enforced email discussions shall be defined as:

  • Email discussions using CZ resources and
  • Include a request to include the constabulary or Chief Constable on their list for monitoring purposes

Therefore:

  • Email groups should decide on their type prior to commencing discussion.
  • Private emails should not be forwarded to the constabulary email.
  • Public emails may be forwarded to the constabulary, but administrative actions may not be applied on the email alone.
  • Public enforced emails will be subject to the defined Citzendium behavior policies and constables will use their good, pragmatic, common sense in evaluating the proper response to offenses in said email.
  • Changing email type is not retroactive.

Exceptionally:

  • In the event that an email appears to threaten your life, the constabulary is in no way prepared to handle such abuse and suggests that;
  • you contact the police.
