- *** DESQVIEW CONFERENCE RULES ***
- Revised 3/12/93
-
- In compliance with Fidonet Echo Policy, the following will be posted at least
- once a month. These rules do not replace any valid Fidonet rules or policy.
-
- ALL USERS WHO POST IN THIS CONFERENCE AGREE TO ABIDE BY THE RULES
- STATED HEREIN AND ALL EXISTING FIDONET RULES AND POLICY.
-
- This is the International Fidonet Echomail Conference DESQVIEW. It is paid for
- by individual systems who help distribute it. Please follow Conference Rules
- to help keep moving DESQVIEW as cost effective as possible.
-
- The Fidonet Echomail Conference DESQVIEW is not owned or operated by
- Quarterdeck Office Systems. It is an echomail conference provided by the
- Fidonet amateur e-mail network.
-
- Discussions are permitted of DESQview, DESQview/X, QEMM, and other Quarterdeck
- products, and how to make these powerful tools work on your PC in conjunction
- with other programs and hardware.
-
- All discussions regarding hardware and software shall be of a technical nature
- only and must pertain to the operation or enhancement of a Quarterdeck product.
- When a discussion goes beyond this, then either use netmail or another
- appropriate conference.
-
- No ads are permitted with the exception of topic-related announcements and
- notices from DVNET and Quarterdeck. Other ads (products, services, etc.) are
- expressly forbidden unless *approved in advance* by the Moderator.
-
- Flames or obsenities are not permitted either in posted or quoted form.
-
- LEAVE MODERATING TO THE MODERATOR. If you wish to chastise someone, then do it
- netmail, or netmail the Moderator for a follow-up.
-
- If a Topic or Thread is deemed off-topic by the Moderator, then take any
- discussion of such to netmail.
-
- Posting "test" messages, shall be considered excessively annoying behavior.
-
- If in the message header the "From:" field is an alias, then include your real
- name at the bottom of the message.
-
- Posting a multi-line or fancy signatures at the bottom of a message is
- considered excessively annoying.
-
- When quoting, quote ONLY pertinent information to get the original point
- across. Quoting entire messages, signature/tag/origin lines is considered
- excessively annoying behavior.
-
- Discussion of routine Fidonet information should be discussed with your SysOp,
- not in this conference.
-
- Eight-bit ASCII characters (>128) or ASCII control codes are NOT permitted,
- either in the message header, body, or tag/origin line, except in posting
- screen pastes of DESQview PIFs.
-
- Origin lines must follow accepted Fidonet Echomail Policy.
-
- Although this is an International Conference in nature, ENGLISH is the official
- accepted language.
-
- This conference may NOT be ported to any other network without the express
- written permission of the Moderator.
-
- Questioning Moderator Policy in the DESQVIEW echo shall be considered
- excessively annoying. Please use netmail. I am always open to discussion of
- echo policy and accept suggestions and comments via netmail.
-
- The Moderator may take part in active discussion in the echo without
- necessarily acting in any official capacity, unless the message is signed as:
-
- Keith Wineka, DESQVIEW Moderator
- 1:2220/10@fidonet.org
