- ┌──--────────·─────────────────────--·
- │ what's a new user voter?
- └-─────────────-─────────·────────--───────--·
-
- A new user voter is a door that protects your BBS from the so called
- LAMERS. If you don't know what a lamer is, then you surely don't need
- to use this door. ;-)
-
-
- ┌──--──-───────────────·--·────────--·
- │ what's new in this version?
- └-──────·─────────────────────────--───────--·
-
- New features for version 1.6 of tfcVOTE:
-
- * "Abstain"-voting is now available
- * Multinode support
- * Logging of actions can now be enabled
- * The voters can now see the other's vote-reasons BEFORE they vote
- * Multitasker aware (DOS, DESQView, OS/2, Windoz)
-
-
- ┌──--────────·─────────────────────--·
- │ how does it work?
- └-─────────────-─────────·────────--───────--·
-
- Like this: All new users who logon to your board will have to answer some
- tricky questions (how old they are, if they're member in any groups etc.)
- After the new user has disconnected, and one of your other users call,
- this trusted user can vote whether the new user that called before him
- should be let in to the BBS or not.
-

- │ installation
- └-─────────────-─────────·────────--───────--·
-
- Follow these steps to install tfcVOTE!:
-
- 1. Make a directory on your harddisk called TFCVOTE (eg. C:\RA\TFCVOTE)
-
- 2. Unzip the CRW-TV16.ZIP archive into this directory
-
- 3. Run VOTECFG.EXE to configure the voter (more about that later on)
-
- 4. Change to your RemoteAccess directory and fire up RACONFIG in
- menu-editing mode by entering RACONFIG -M at the command prompt.
-
- 5. Edit the menu called TOP(.MNU) and insert a new menuitem type 7
- somewhere in it. On the OptData line you should enter something
- like this "C:\RA\TFCVOTE\TFCVOTE.EXE /U *M". The "/U" tells tfc-
- VOTE! to start up in user registration mode and the "*M" tells
- RA to swap out of memory before executing . Now set the "MinSec"
- and "MaxSec" to the value given to all your new users. This value
- can be found in RACONFIG > Options > New Users > Security.
-
- 6. Insert another menuitem 7 in the same menu, with the same OptData
- info as above, but with a "/V" instead of the "/U". The "/V" tells
- tfcVOTE! to start up in new user voting mode. Set the MinSec field
- to something higher than the new user security, so that only your
- trusted users can vote.
-
- 7. Now log in as a new user locally to test that everything is working
- alright. If it works fine, then the installation is complete! =)
-
- NOTE: If you run a multinode system, add a /P<path to dropfile>
- paramater to all menu entries so that tfcVOTE! can find node
- specific dropfileinfo!
-
- NOTE 2: If you want to enable multitasker support, add a /M parameter!

- ┌──--────────·─────────────────────--·
- │ configuration of tfcVOTE
- └-─────────────-─────────·────────--───────--·
-
-
- When you run VoteCFG to configure you get a list with these options:
-
- "Yes" votes to validate : this is the number of YES votes a new
- user has to get to be let in to the BBS
- the maxiumum value is 10
-
- "No" votes to lock out : this is the number of NO votes a new user
- can get before he/she will be locked out
- or lowered. the maxiumum value is 10
-
- Validated user security : security level given to validated users
-
- Unvalidated user security : security level given to unvalidated users
- (enter 0 to lock out unvalidated users)
-
- Set delete flag on lock out : when this option is set to YES, users who
- doesn't get validated will have the DELETE
- flag set in their userlist entry and they
- will be deleted next time you pack the it
-
- Force voting on all users : when this option is enabled then the voters
- will HAVE TO vote on ALL the new users be-
- fore exiting the door with the escape key.
-
- Enable action logging : whether tfcVOTE! should log all
- actions made to a logfile (it's called
- TFCVOTE.LOG and is created in the same
- directory as your RA system log).

- tfcVOTE was coded 1996 by fREEJACK of Crow. The ANSi artwork was made
- by Sensei.
-
- This new version of the voter is somewhat better than the old one,
- but it still isn't as good as I would like it to be. So maybe, there
- will be a 2.0 version, MAYBE.. we'll see.
-
- See CROW.NFO for info on contacting us. Seeya!
