- QUICKBBS CONFERENCE RULES
-
- 1. Do not be easily annoyed.
-
- This _should_ be self explanatory, but for anyone wanting
- or needing greater detail it frequently means to not reply
- to a message in the echo. Use netmail instead.
-
- 2. Do not be excessively annoying.
-
- This, too, often means to use netmail instead. However,
- there are some items which have been categorized as
- being annoying.
-
- Use of profanity since many readers are young
- Quoting someone else's profanity verbatim
- Non-compliance with general echo policies
- Use of "high-end" characters in echo messages
- Posting of "test" messages
- Advertisements of any sort except for QuickBBS
- releases and programs that are written
- specifically for QuickBBS. This includes
- BBS ads, multi-line "signatures" and
- file listings
- Posting of "flame" or derogatory messages,
- including ethnic or racial references
- Posting of moderator type messages without the
- moderator requesting such assistance
- Non-compliance with a moderation message
-
- 3. Keep to the topic of the conference, QuickBBS.
-
- This is perhaps the most significant of all. Messages in
- the echo are to relate to the operation/setup of QuickBBS
- and the interfacing of the various support software.
- Questions/messages about these supporting programs should
- be related to their use with QuickBBS and not be solely
- related to the operation/setup/enhancement of the support
- program.
-
- 4. FidoNet origin lines are required in the QuickBBS echo.
-
- In an effort to reduce duplicate message traffic in this
- FidoNet-origin conference, the use of official Zonegates
- into other networks is required. Messages originating
- on non-Fidonet systems must be routed so that a FidoNet
- address is appended by their Zonegate. Systems with dual
- identities are required to include their FidoNet address
- in their origin line. Their alternate address may also
- appear, but the FidoNet address is required.
-
- 5. Receipt of the QuickBBS echo is permitted any echomail
- capable system. Any user may be permitted READ access to
- the echo, however, WRITE access is restricted to sysops and
- persons in the process of becoming QuickBBS sysops.
