Ground Rules

Chatterwood is a large discussion group, focused on topics relevant to life here at Riderwood Village. You can reply to topics posted by other residents, or send an email to Chatterwood@RWV.groups.io to start your own discussion topic.

Posting Policy

All residents are permitted to post:

• Announcements for on-campus events and community events open to the public;
• Personal items, to sell or give away to other residents;
• Requests for recommendations of professional services and local businesses;
• Questions, and answers, concerning activities at Riderwood Village.

Residents must avoid posting:

• Topics relating to religion or politics;
• Topics promoting off-campus organizations;
• Topics that don’t relate directly to our lives here at Riderwood Village. 
• Test/help messages – these should be sent to Chatterwood+owner@RWV.groups.io.

Posts which violate these rules are subject to being locked and deleted. A subscriber who consistently posts inappropriate messages may be locked out from participation for a period of time, as determined by the volunteer moderators.

Reply Policy

• When replying to a post, reply only to the original sender, unless your reply makes a definite contribution to the topic being discussed.
• Do not reply to a message as a quick way to start a new topic. Start a new post instead, so the Subject line will reflect the new discussion.
• Do not mark group emails as Spam or Junk, since that will affect future emails, as well as the current one, and may cause RWV.groups.io to ban your email address for future emails.
• Keep you messages short, and, where appropriate, include links to more detailed information.

Topical Discussions

There is now a ChitChat@RWV.groups.io email group that you can join for discussions that are beyond the scope of Chatterwood. If you would like to discuss general topics, including religion and politics, please visit the ChitChat page for further information

Or, if you have ideas for discussing specific topics of interest to residents, RWV.groups.io can also support additional email groups. If you might consider starting a new topical discussion group for residents, review the RWV.groups.io Groups page to learn more about the types of possible email groups and how to get started.
