Why do this??

To have FUN and meet knew friends and share ideas!

http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/World_of_Warcraft_List/

This is a list for World of Warcraft players of all realms. Possible mature conversations-don't worry though as many of us have kids here too. :)

We are about general "Gee-Whiz" information (not to mention sometimes humor) about World of Warcraft and sometimes SCA and medieval related topic as this is also the genre' that WoW encompasses so expect eclectic chat dialog as we have some pretty knowledgeable folk here about the game and the SCA.

This is also the 'Official List' for our SCA friendly WoW guilds "Defenders of the Dream" (Alliance) and "Avengers of the Dream" (Horde) on the Madoran realm so you may see some seemingly *real life chat* about medieval arts (namely sword fighting) and other other aspects of medieval life. Feel free to ask what we are talking about if interested interested or go to http://www.sca.org to find out more. You might like what you find! :P

Please keep in mind that you may find it very quiet here at times *but* do not let that fool ya as this is often followed by an explosive fury of frenetic posting activity! If we get too busy for you we can show you how to switch to either 'digest' version or to change your settings to "read only" directly from the site.

We ask that any "controversial" debate topics (usually religion, modern day politics and a few other items not universally accepted as polite discussion topics at many supper tables) and that appear to be unduly *dominating* this forum be taken privately at the pleasure of those involved when politely asked to do so by the moderator(s) and others please. Also please please please do not complain about a duplicate post on this list unless it is done excessively. Sometimes the complaint posts are worse than the original faux pas! :)

Please also understand that web links selling WoW and Medieval reenactor items and sundry are not considered *spam* here but are on topic as resources and are often amusing information in and of themselves if they are not reposted excessively. I confess I have always had a soft spot for SCA, WoW and Rennainsance merchants ok? :)

My personal "philosophy" of a list...

***********************************************************************************************************
"While we ALL have "freedom of speech" in this country it does not mean freedom from consequences. As everyone knows you cannot yell "fire" in a crowded theatre without probably being fined or even possibly apprehended if there is in fact NO fire...count on it!"
************************************************************************************************************

My take on "SPAM"

My take on SPAM and messages is this: I usually just ignore the spam/message and delete it and remove the spambot if it is one and it managed to sneak through. The thing I try to discourage on my lists the most is the "SPAM Complainers". This means often you will get just ONE little spam message that will be followed by sometimes as many as 15 legitimate members b*tching about it. What's worse I ask?? Grist for the mill...

In conclusion:

A list is like a 'living room' meaning that even if occasionally I have several folk with a penchant for saying "me too" and others having fun laughing and joking concerning this or that topic I do not often stand up tell them that they should not do that because they are obviously enjoying the good fellowship of each others' company in the room. Making a 'joyful noise' as it were as the Lady Aubrey often puts it. If you think of this list as pretty much a 'happy family' as lists go then it will make sense and in the words of Bill Cosby "If you are not very careful you just might learn something"...I hope. :)
