TELEGARD SUPPORT CONFERENCE (TG_SUPPORT) GUIDELINES
Last Revised on August 8, 1992
Moderator - Martin Pollard
Co-Moderator - Scott Raymond
This is TG_SUPPORT, the Telegard Support Conference, devoted to discussions
about, and support of, the Telegard bulletin board system. To participate
here, the following simple guidelines should be kept in mind:
1. BE POLITE. (I think that speaks for itself.) Discussion and debate is
allowed, but behavior which could be classified even remotely as sub-human
is not. If you feel you must behave in a boorish manner, I suggest you
use NetMail (where you can be boorish to your heart's content).
2. STAY ON-TOPIC. Generally, anything which is not in the galactic vicinity
of Telegard is regarded as off-topic, with the following topics being the
most specific:
-> Hacks, knock-offs, and other deviants from the actual Telegard
program (this most specifically includes Renegade BBS, the most
blatant of TG knock-offs). We're sick of hearing about them.
-> Telegard source code. It's not going to be released, period, end
of discussion.
-> The future of Telegard. After the upcoming release (scheduled to
be out by the end of 1992), TG development comes to a close. This
decision is a done deal, and is not going to be reversed.
Entering into "Off-Topic Land" will get you a pretty nasty slap on the
wrist, with even more pain to follow if it persists. :-)
3. NO DISCUSSION OF ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES, particularly discussions which
encourage it. If you're not sure what constitutes an illegal activity,
we'll be more than happy to inform you... believe me. :-)
4. AVOID ONE-ON-ONE CHIT-CHAT. Since this conference is being distributed
privately, rather than on the FidoNet backbone, it costs all of us more
money to participate. Restrict idle chatter to NetMail or voice.
5. USE YOUR REAL NAME. It's more professional to deal with a real person,
as opposed to "Snoopy", "/<00l DooD", "King of the Hackers".
6. KEEP ANSI TO A MINIMUM. An ANSI signature is acceptable; full-screen ANSI
displays are not. If this rule is abused, ANSI will be disallowed
totally, so let's not abuse it, eh? (Telegard MCI color codes are not
allowed at this time.)
7. LISTEN TO THE MODERATORS. We're in charge, so it would behoove you to
take what we say seriously. Also, don't try to moderate others; that's
our job, not yours.
8. CONFERENCE ACCESS. TG_SUPPORT is distributed as EchoMail via private
links. Links may _only_ be obtained from one of the Telegard beta sites
(which will be listed in a later message), and _only_ beta sites may
provide links. In addition, _only_ Telegard SysOps may access this echo.
Violating these restrictions will result in your IMMEDIATE removal from
this echo, as will providing access to people whose access has been
removed and/or have been denied access in the first place.
9. MISCELLANEOUS. No advertisements... keep quoting to a minimum... others I
can't recall at the moment (as well as ones I'm bound to think up on-the-
fly).
Finally...
READ ALL THE RULES AGAIN.
Let's all try to keep these basic guidelines in mind. If we do, we're bound
to accomplish a great many things, but above all, have a lot of fun!
