CBM Commodore Computer Conference
Guidelines and Code of Conduct
Revised: 6 Oct 92
INTRODUCTION:
This message describes the Guidelines and Code of Conduct to which
participants and recipients of the CBM Conference must subscribe.
WHAT IS THE CBM CONFERENCE:
This conference is devoted to promoting serious technical discussions
of Commodore Business Machines (tm) hardware and software, including
the PET, VIC-20, C-64, C-128, C-16, Plus/4, and other Commodore 8-bit
CPU computers. This conference does NOT support the Amiga or PC lines.
VALID POSTINGS IN THE CBM CONFERENCE:
Valid messages in the conference should deal with the Commodore 8 bit
CPU machines' features, applications (both hardware and software),
problems, discoveries, programming (ML, BASIC, and other languages),
and related topics.
INVALID POSTINGS IN THE CBM CONFERENCE:
Invalid messages in the conference consist primarily, but not exclus-
ivly, of the following types of messages. If anyone finds a new way
to annoy all and sundry, a new catagory will be added.
1. Pirated Software - Discussions of the illegal acquisition of
commercial software are forbidden.
2. Amiga and PC-xx - No comparisons between or discussions of
these computers are allowed in this echo.
3. Aliases / Handles - If you must use an alias or handle, please
sign your real name to each message.
4. Profanity - Language should be appropriate for the age
and gender mix of our participants.
5. Personal Attacts - You may disagree with the viewpoint of
( Flames ) other users. Do so politely and without
personally derogatory comments.
6. Personal Messages - Personal messages (chat), not remotely
related to the Commodore 8 bit computers,
are "off topic".
7. Third Party replys - Messages from the moderator to a user in
line of duty are always "On Topic", as are
replies from the user. Third party replies
to such messages are "Off Topic"
Violations of the code may be responded to by the conference moderator
thru the echo or by netmail. If the disruptive behavior does not stop,
FidoNet policy provides means for removal of the disruptive elements
from the conference. In case of extreme misbehavior (obscene grafiti,
blatant promotion of piracy) the operator of the system where the post
originated may be requested to immediately remove the offending party
from the CBM echo without prior warning or discussion.
WHAT IF I DON'T LIKE THIS "GUIDELINES AND CODE OF CONDUCT" THING:
Everyone has the right to NOT post messages in this conference. If you
can not abide by these rules, then don't post here. If you have const-
ructive criticisms or suggestions you may address them via Netmail to
the moderator named below. If you do not have Netmail access on your
local system, you may request in the echo that the moderator provide
you with an alternate (postal mail) address for contact.
WHO IS THE CONFERENCE MODERATOR:
At the time of the posting of this document the moderator is -
Russell Prater - (1:3608/1)
