Dear List Member,
Sorry, but your message can't be posted on the Cleveland Park Listserv for the reasons checked below. Please read the ENTIRE message carefully, as well as the X-marked item(s), as this helps list members to understand how to write messages that are more likely to be posted on this neighbor-to-neighbor discussion group. Please also keep in mind that the CP Listserv has over 12,400 members and receives on average twice as many submissions per day as are published.
__ Your message wasn't signed according to the list's requirements. All messages need to be signed at the END with a full name (preferred) or, at a minimum, a first name. We won’t post anonymous messages, or messages signed with aliases, screen names, or initials. We'd like all messages to show a name at the end to give list members a sense of who’s talking when they read a post – that helps to maintain a neighborly spirit on the listserv.
__ Your message is a crosspost, copy, reprint, or forward of a message from another poster. We accept only messages written by you, just for your neighbors on this listserv. We don't accept reprints of articles that have appeared elsewhere, blocks of text copied from websites, messages sent around to multiple listservs, or posts on behalf of non-list-members (with exceptions made by the moderators in urgent circumstances).
_X_ Your photos are incompatible with the image display settings for this listserv. The CP Listserv can successfully handle 3 or 4 photos in .JPG format ONLY, as long as the total size of the photos is under .5 MB (under 500 kb). [NOTE: Your photos are in ___ format and __kb.] There are a few ways to solve this problem: 1. You can downsize your photos/reformat them to stay within the limits; 2. You could omit any images from your message and upload your photos to a file-sharing site (Google Drive, iCloud, DropBox, et. al.) and put a link to the photos on the site, set to "public sharing"; or 3. You could go with the simplest solution -- just add a line to your message that says, “Email to see photos if interested.”
__ The message is a “posting for a friend.” There are 3 reasons why posting for a friend is discouraged on the listserv. First, it’s not in keeping with the direct, neighbor-to-neighbor character of the listserv; second, we’ve learned from past experience that miscommunication is a common problem in secondhand posts; and third, if anyone can post a query by simply asking a list member to send it in for them, the daily message volume on this busy listserv would be much greater than it already is. Your friend is welcome to join the listserv (there’s no requirement to live here) and post this query directly, and can find information about how to do so on our Frequently Asked Questions page at www.cleveland-park.com/faq.html. Please note: We make exceptions to this policy if the person is unable to post due to illness, disability, or lack of access to email.
__ The question you're asking can be answered by searching the message archives. To search all the messages in the listserv’s history, start at https://groups.io/g/clevelandpark and click on “Messages” on the left-hand sidebar. Then look for the blank search button with a little magnifying glass icon in the upper right-hand corner of your screen. Type a search word in the box and click on the magnifying glass. If searching for more than one word, put the words inside quotation marks. If you pull up too many results, use the “tools” button (at the top of the column of results) to bring up some tools to limit your search – for example, change “any time” to “past year” or put in a particular time frame. You can find more information about doing an archives search at: http://www.cleveland-park.com/searching-the-archives.html
__ The message goes against some part of our advertising policy; all the requirements for free ads can be found on the list’s advertising checklist. Please note that the Cleveland Park Listserv is an advertiser-supported publication, and we now publish only two types of ads for free: 1. Messages selling personal items valued under $1000, submitted by list members who live within zip codes 20008, 20016, 20007 or 20015; and 2. “Nanny/housecleaner available” ads sent in by the person seeking employment or sent in by a current employer on behalf of a nanny or housecleaner. All other types of ads must be purchased. If you are sellin program to post your ad. For business ads or any type of property adg things over $1000 and/or you live out of boundary, you can join our Premium Memberships (houses or apartments for sale or for rent), you can pay for your ad through our Main Advertising Page. For ads about ticketed events, out-of-area or off-topic events and other promotion of non-business events, the cost is half the price of a business ad – just $25 for a single post to advertise to our audience of 12,400+ readers – available here: http://www.cleveland-park.com/nonprofit-organization-ads.html. Your sponsorship is what helps keep the listserv alive!
__ The message is a recommendation that goes against some part of our recommendations policy. For information about how to write a recommendation for the CP Listserv, please visit our recommendations policy page.
__ Other:
For some useful information about how the Cleveland Park Email List works and how to improve the chances that your message will be published, please visit our FAQ at http://www.cleveland-park.com/faq.html. Sorry, also, to respond with a form letter, but because the Cleveland Park List is such a busy place in cyberspace, the form letter enables us to both moderate the list and have time to do things like eat and sleep.
Best wishes,
Peggy
