*** FIDO_UTIL CONFERENCE RULES *** Revised 02/11/98 ***
In compliance with Fidonet Echo Policy, the following will be posted at
least once a month. These rules are in addition to any valid Fidonet
rules or policy. They may be updated at any time by the Moderator.
ALL USERS WHO POST IN THIS CONFERENCE MUST AGREE TO ABIDE BY THE RULES
STATED HEREIN AND ALL PREVAILING FIDONET RULES AND POLICY.
This is the International Fidonet Echomail Conference FIDO_UTIL. It is
paid for by individual systems who help distribute it. Please follow
Conference Rules to help keep moving FIDO_UTIL as cost effective as
possible.
*Technical discussions* are permitted of all Fidonet-related utilities
across all operating system platforms. Of special interest are existing
utilities that will not work properly after the year 2000 and discussion
of replacements or work-arounds.
All discussions shall be of a technical nature only. When a discussion
goes beyond this, please use netmail or Internet email.
This is not a "my software is better than your software" conference and
these type discussions/debates are not welcome. Comparisons and intelligent
discussions on different Fido utility software when comparing them to
each other should be kept to technical aspects/facts and not personal
opinions.
No advertising is permitted. This includes but is not limited to,
commercial products/services, items for-sale, BBS notices and BBS/other
Files Lists. If you wish to claim an exception, please seek Moderator
approval via netmail in advance of posting of such.
DEBUG/UUENCODE file script postings are NOT permitted. Posting of these
type messages will be considered annoying behavior.
Flames or obscenities are not permitted either in posted or quoted form.
The basic rule we use is "if it cannot be said on American TV, then don't
use it in the conference".
LEAVE MODERATING TO THE MODERATOR. If you wish to chastise someone,
do it via NETMAIL or NETMAIL the Moderator so that he can take action.
If a Topic or Thread is deemed off-topic by the Moderator, take any
discussion of such to netmail.
Posting "test" messages shall be considered very annoying behavior.
If in the message header the "From:" field is an alias, then include
your real name at the bottom of the message.
Moving mail costs SysOps money. Duplicate headers, signatures and
tag-lines are considered space wasters and should be avoided. Please do
not "sign" messages unless your header name is an alias or you wish to
post your Internet Email address. If you must use a signature and a
tag-line, they should be: (1) limited to 4 lines, (2) limited to 240
characters, (3) not contain "fancy ASCII-graphics" and (4) not
duplicate information already in the standard Origin Line.
When quoting, quote ONLY pertinent information to get the original point
across. Quoting entire messages, signature/tag/origin lines is
annoying.
Discussion of routine Fidonet information should be discussed with your
SysOp or NC, not in this conference.
Eight-bit ASCII characters (>128) or ASCII control codes are not
permitted in the message header, body, tag/origin line or cut/pastes
from screen captures.
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 FIDO_UTIL echo shall be considered
excessively annoying. Please use NETMAIL. The Moderator is always
open to discussion of echo policy and accepts suggestions and comments
via NETMAIL.
The Moderators may take part in active discussion in the echo without
necessarily acting in any official capacity, unless the message is
posted "From: Moderator", signed "FIDO_UTIL Moderator" or signed as
below:
