Subject Topic Tags
In the subject line of a post, you can mark the post with one of the following tags. Tags are only recognised if a colon follows and not other decoration (e.g. brackets) are used. Any 'Re:' etc. is irrelevant -- the software skips it.
Good tag syntax:
CHAT: Is the world really round?
Bad tag syntax:
[CHAT]: Is the world really round?
These are the official tags the listserv software can be instructed to filter automatically. There are currently exactly three:
- CHAT: off-topic stuff of the conversational sort
- USAGE: natural language usage (all of the YAEPT and similar should use this)
- THEORY: linguistic theory discussions
Only the above three tags are official and configured for filtering.
There are a few others that are worth mentioning:
- OT: should not be used, use CHAT instead as some software had problems with 'OT'
- OFFLIST: not actually seen on-list, this tag is added to make explicitly clear that you are taking a subject offlist (i.e. you're emailing someone directly about it)
The following are explicitly not included in the list of filterable tags:
- META: threads about CONLANG-L itself
- TECH: technical issues (e.g. email programs, list-related technical problems, etc)
Acronyms
List of acronyms specific to the Conlang Mailing List:

- YAEPT (the original acronym) - Yet Another English Pronunciation Thrread
- YADPT ... Dutch Pronunciation ...
- YAGPT ... German Pronunciation ...
- YAEGT ... English Grammar ...
