OS2DOSBBS Conference Rules
Updated April 16, 1993
Conference Moderator: Scott Raymond, 1:278/624
OS2DOSBBS was created in order to provide technical support for those folks
who are running a DOS-based bulletin board under an OS/2 VDM (Virtual DOS
Machine). The rules here are pretty simple:
o REAL NAMES ONLY. If you're calling from a BBS that does not
provide the capacity to use your real name, please sign your
real name at the bottom of your messages.
o ENGLISH IS THE ONLY LANGUAGE TO BE USED IN THE CONFERENCE. The
majority of Fidonet is composed of English-speaking people, and
messages posted in other languages will often be meaningless to
those of us that do not speak those languages.
o STAY ON-TOPIC. The topic of this conference is described above.
There is obviously some leeway to be given on this topic,
because it covers a broad range - not just DOS-based bulletin
boards, but front end mailers and DOS-based BBS door programs as
well. Examples of venturing into off-topic are: discussion of
OS/2-based bulletin boards, hardware discussion, OS/2 software
and technical discussion. Posting test messages and "this BBS
is now joining the OS2DOS BBS conference" are also off-topic.
Do not post them. Discussion of communications drivers for OS/2
and VDMs are ON-topic, as they directly relate to the smooth
operation of a DOS-based BBS under OS/2.
o NO ADVERTISEMENTS. This includes BBS ads (even in your
signature), commercial advertisements, and software/hardware
advertisements.
o NO FLAMING OR FOUL LANGUAGE. Abuse of other conference
participants and the use of foul language is absolutely
forbidden. We're here to provide each other with technical
support, not fight amongst ourselves and swear like
longshoremen.
o LET THE MODERATOR DO THE MODERATING. While you might feel the
urge to correct an errant individual, it is the moderator's job
to do so and by assuming his position you only muddy the waters.
Misbehavior by breaking the conference rules will be given a public
warning. Those who continually break the rules will have thier access to
the conference permanently removed.
