QUICKBBS CONFERENCE RULES
1. Do not be easily annoyed.
This _should_ be self explanatory, but for anyone wanting
or needing greater detail it frequently means to not reply
to a message in the echo. Use netmail instead.
2. Do not be excessively annoying.
This, too, often means to use netmail instead. However,
there are some items which have been categorized as
being annoying.
Use of profanity since many readers are young
Quoting someone else's profanity verbatim
Non-compliance with general echo policies
Use of "high-end" characters in echo messages
Posting of "test" messages
Advertisements of any sort except for QuickBBS
releases and programs that are written
specifically for QuickBBS. This includes
BBS ads, multi-line "signatures" and
file listings
Posting of "flame" or derogatory messages,
including ethnic or racial references
Posting of moderator type messages without the
moderator requesting such assistance
Non-compliance with a moderation message
3. Keep to the topic of the conference, QuickBBS.
This is perhaps the most significant of all. Messages in
the echo are to relate to the operation/setup of QuickBBS
and the interfacing of the various support software.
Questions/messages about these supporting programs should
be related to their use with QuickBBS and not be solely
related to the operation/setup/enhancement of the support
program.
4. FidoNet origin lines are required in the QuickBBS echo.
In an effort to reduce duplicate message traffic in this
FidoNet-origin conference, the use of official Zonegates
into other networks is required. Messages originating
on non-Fidonet systems must be routed so that a FidoNet
address is appended by their Zonegate. Systems with dual
identities are required to include their FidoNet address
in their origin line. Their alternate address may also
appear, but the FidoNet address is required.
5. Receipt of the QuickBBS echo is permitted any echomail
capable system. Any user may be permitted READ access to
the echo, however, WRITE access is restricted to sysops and
persons in the process of becoming QuickBBS sysops.
