- TELEGARD SUPPORT CONFERENCE (TG_SUPPORT) GUIDELINES
- Last Revised on August 8, 1992

- Moderator - Martin Pollard
- Co-Moderator - Scott Raymond
-
- This is TG_SUPPORT, the Telegard Support Conference, devoted to discussions
- about, and support of, the Telegard bulletin board system. To participate
- here, the following simple guidelines should be kept in mind:
-
- 1. BE POLITE. (I think that speaks for itself.) Discussion and debate is
- allowed, but behavior which could be classified even remotely as sub-human
- is not. If you feel you must behave in a boorish manner, I suggest you
- use NetMail (where you can be boorish to your heart's content).
-
- 2. STAY ON-TOPIC. Generally, anything which is not in the galactic vicinity
- of Telegard is regarded as off-topic, with the following topics being the
- most specific:
-
- -> Hacks, knock-offs, and other deviants from the actual Telegard
- program (this most specifically includes Renegade BBS, the most
- blatant of TG knock-offs). We're sick of hearing about them.
-
- -> Telegard source code. It's not going to be released, period, end
- of discussion.
-
- -> The future of Telegard. After the upcoming release (scheduled to
- be out by the end of 1992), TG development comes to a close. This
- decision is a done deal, and is not going to be reversed.
-
- Entering into "Off-Topic Land" will get you a pretty nasty slap on the
- wrist, with even more pain to follow if it persists. :-)
-
- 3. NO DISCUSSION OF ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES, particularly discussions which
- encourage it. If you're not sure what constitutes an illegal activity,
- we'll be more than happy to inform you... believe me. :-)
-
- 4. AVOID ONE-ON-ONE CHIT-CHAT. Since this conference is being distributed
- privately, rather than on the FidoNet backbone, it costs all of us more
- money to participate. Restrict idle chatter to NetMail or voice.
-
- 5. USE YOUR REAL NAME. It's more professional to deal with a real person,
- as opposed to "Snoopy", "/<00l DooD", "King of the Hackers".
-
- 6. KEEP ANSI TO A MINIMUM. An ANSI signature is acceptable; full-screen ANSI
- displays are not. If this rule is abused, ANSI will be disallowed
- totally, so let's not abuse it, eh? (Telegard MCI color codes are not
- allowed at this time.)
-
- 7. LISTEN TO THE MODERATORS. We're in charge, so it would behoove you to
- take what we say seriously. Also, don't try to moderate others; that's
- our job, not yours.
-
- 8. CONFERENCE ACCESS. TG_SUPPORT is distributed as EchoMail via private
- links. Links may _only_ be obtained from one of the Telegard beta sites
- (which will be listed in a later message), and _only_ beta sites may
- provide links. In addition, _only_ Telegard SysOps may access this echo.
- Violating these restrictions will result in your IMMEDIATE removal from
- this echo, as will providing access to people whose access has been
- removed and/or have been denied access in the first place.
-
- 9. MISCELLANEOUS. No advertisements... keep quoting to a minimum... others I
- can't recall at the moment (as well as ones I'm bound to think up on-the-
- fly).
-
- Finally...
-
- READ ALL THE RULES AGAIN.
-
- Let's all try to keep these basic guidelines in mind. If we do, we're bound
- to accomplish a great many things, but above all, have a lot of fun!
