PCWRITE RULES
Updated 2 August 1997
Definition:
The PCWRITE echo is for conversations concerning the following SHARED
topics:
PCWRITE: a Word Processor for the IBM and compatibles.
Cross or Multi-Platform Computing: Any topic which concerns using two
or more computer types to acheive an end. Such topics include, but
are not limited to:
* Graphic, text or other file conversions between Commodore, IBM,
Amiga, MAC, etc. platforms. Discussions on moving data to/from
other platforms.
* The simultaneous use of different computing platforms when used
together in a networking situation.
* Using one computer platform to emulate another.
Echo Rules:
The PCWRITE echo has the following rules which all participants are to
read, AND FOLLOW when posting messages.
Off Topic Messages:
When discussions do not directly involve PCWRITE or Multi-Platform
Computing they should be moved to another echo or Netmail.
Due to the low volume of the echo, as long as discussions are
about computers in general, messages will be considered "on topic".
Piracy:
Discussion of the illegal acquisition of copyright software is
forbidden and if flagrant may result in loss of access without
warning.
Language:
This echo is open to all gender and age groups. Profanity will not
be tolerated.
Tolerance:
Practice tolerance. Because this echo is shared, it is especially
important that all participants tolerate messages concerning topics
which they may or may not be interested in.
Personal attacks (flames), test messages, or political postings are
not allowed in this conference. Do not respond to such messages in
this echo.
Quoting:
Quote enough so others will know what is being discussed, but do
not quote excessively. Do not quote origin and signature lines.
Tag lines and Signature lines:
Taglines and signatures are NOT to advertise any Commerical
Enterprise. You may include the name of your BBS and Phone Number
in the Signature or tagline.
Control and High-ASCII characters (below CHR$(32) and above
CHR$127) are forbidden.
Graphic signatures, borders and other characters which
unnecessarily add to the bulk of your post are discouraged.
Aliases/Handles:
This is a REAL NAME only echo. If an Alias is used, the message
must be signed with your first and surname at the end of the
message. The Alias should be corrected as soon as possible.
Subject lines:
Please put the subject being discussed in the message in the
subject line. This will assist readers who scan subject titles
looking for help on their particular topic/subject. This is
especially helpful considering that this echo has more than one
topic. Be considerate of those who share this echo with you.
A suggestion (not a "rule") is to use the following abbreviations
in the subject line, depending on the topic being discussed:
PW - PCWRITE topics
CP - Cross Platform topics
EM - Emulator topics
Moderation:
The Moderator of the PCWRITE Echo is Gaelyne Gasson. Please direct
any suggestions or complaints concerning this echo to me via
NetMail at 1:366/221.128 or 3:800/409.128 or Email at
gaelyne@videocam.net.au
The moderator will usually reply to violations thru the echo
itself. This is because not all readers have access to netmail.
It is not intended to insult or embarrass any participant. If you
receive a reminder, you may reply in the echo, or by netmail, to
the address listed. Other users are asked NOT respond to "Official"
communications between the moderator and user.
Let the moderator do the moderating.
In the event of a conflict, the moderator's best judgement shall
prevail.
The Moderator is also a participant in this echo. Official posts
will be signed "Moderator, PCWRITE". Posts without the official
signature may be treated as you would treat a post by any other
participant.
