Bulletin Board

The list has restricted access and only members of CCPB are able to post to, and receive messages from, the list (click here to join).

You will receive an email conformation when your account is active.

To post to the bulletin board, send your message to ccpb@ccpb.ac.uk.

bulletin board etiquette

  1. The bulletin board should only be used to post messages relevant to CCPB members. Posting spam will result in your bulletin board account and CCPB membership being cancelled.
  2. Respect copyright when forwarding messages, if in any doubt contact the author.
  3. Refrain from being rude, blatantly sarcastic or condescending.
  4. Watch where your reply is going, should it be going to the sender or to the list?
  5. If you wish to complain about something, contact us do not complain through the list.
  6. Suspend bulletin board mail when you are away from the office, you can always catch up via the archives. Receiving numerous out of office replies which have bounced around the list is not helpful!
  7. Use a meaningful subject header to your email, this will enable your message to be found easier in the archives.
  8. Try not to quote the entire message in a reply, this can lead to excessively long messages (as can large, elaborate signatures).
  9. Use ASCII (plain) text as much as possible so messages are readable in any country.
