	* The submitter must be identified in the body of the message. If necessary add "(Submitted by J. Q. Occupier)", or similar, at the bottom. Of course, replace "J. Q. Occupier" with the submitter's actual name. If the message was submitted by a working group, it's okay to use the working group name.		* The submitter must be identified in the body of the message.

If the message was submitted by a working group, it's okay to use the working group name.

			== The Moderator How-To ==

			'''Everyone List Submissions'''. Message submissions are usually sent
			to everyone-submit@lists.occupyboston.org. This is where you'll
			discuss the submission; traditionally, we include the submitter in the
			discussion process. If the submitter is not the original author
			(e.g., for a solidarity announcement), then try to include the
			original author as well. Original authors are often interested in
			providing input, and there have been cases where the
			original author asked us ''not'' to distribute their message.

			'''Revising and Agreeing on Copy'''. Work with the submitter, to
			revise their message as necessary. It's not unusual for
			submissions to go through a few rounds of editing. For example, if
			there's not an obvious connection to Occupy Boston, to the Occupy
			movement, or to the 99%, then ask the submitter to explain how their
			posting ties in. It's not sufficient for moderators to make the
			connection; everyone list subscribers have to make the connection too.

			'''Sending The Message'''. Once you've finalized the copy, send it to
			everyone@lists.people-link.net. What you send to everyone@ is exactly
			what will go out to everyone list subscribers. Be sure to remove any
			extraneous headers and footers.

			All submissions to the everyone list are moderated. Expect to receive
			a notification to the effect of "Your message to Everyone awaits
			moderator approval"; this should arrive in a few minutes.

			'''Moderate the message through'''.
			* Go to https://lists.people-link.net/mailman/listinfo/everyone
			* Click "Everyone administrative interface", which is located near the bottom of the page
			* Provide the list administrator password, and click "Let me in"
			* Click "Tend to pending moderator requests"
			* For the message in question, click "Accept", and "Submit All Data"

			After doing so, you should see the message appear in
			http://lists.people-link.net/pipermail/everyone/.

			'''Handling Replies'''. Occasionally, someone will `reply-all' to an
			everyone list message. These replies are held for moderation; and
			list owners will be notified when these replies arrive.

			In many cases, it's desirable to send replies to the submitter.
			Here's how to do that.
			* Go to https://lists.people-link.net/mailman/listinfo/everyone
			* Click "Everyone administrative interface", which is located near the bottom of the page
			* Provide the list administrator password, and click "Let me in"
			* Click "Tend to pending moderator requests"

			For the reply in question
			* Click "Discard"
			* Check "Forward messages (individually) to:", and give the submitter's email as the forwarding address.
			* Click "Submit all data"
