Hello tor-relays,

This message is to make everyone aware of the purpose of this list, and to notify that off-topic posting will result in moderation. This is to allow the list to continue being used as a relay operator support mechanism, and to make sure the people on the list for this purpose are not driven away by off-topic posts.

The stated purpose of this list is as follows:

Support and questions about running Tor relays (exit, non-exit, bridge)

Topics relating to this are encouraged and accepted on the list at any time.

However, this does not include:

Posts intended to troll / annoy members of the list Acting as a support, publicity or communications channel for specific hosting providers Posts regarding general tech news of the day

The tor-relays@ list is primarily a communication forum for current and prospective relay operators to obtain support, plus share stories and experiences.

Relevant discussions about specific providers are also germane, although any usage of this list for the purposes of publicity or as a communications / support channel for providers is prohibited.

Thank you all for being part of the relay operator community!
