GoldED International Conference Rules
=====================================
(Updated 09/09/92)
- Purpose:
These rules are established in accordance with current Zone 1 Echomail
Backbone Operating Procedures and Guidelines for conference participation on
the FidoNet backbone.
- Conference History:
GoldED is a multipurpose message editor/reader written by Odinn Sorensen
(2:231/77). The GoldED echomail conference (Areatag GOLDED) was established
by Odinn Sorensen, originally to have a convienent way for Odinn to
communicate with users and obtain bug reports and suggestions. As GoldED
grew and distribution became more widespread, GOLDED was added to the FidoNet
Zone 1's backbone distribution. By appointment of Odinn Sorensen, I have
assumed the duties of echo moderator and, as such, am documenting the rules
and procedures for conference participation.
- Conference Scope:
GOLDED was established to have a forum for discussion of the GoldED message
editor. It is for comments, suggestions, hints, questions, bug reports and
just about anything relating to the setup and operation of the current
release version of GoldED.
Information on GoldED can be found here ranging from the very basic to
advanced and intricate configurations. Discussions will occasionally stray
to mailers and BBS's and how GoldED interacts with each. All participants
are welcome!
- Confernce Rules Specifics:
1. Stick to topics captioned above in "Conference Scope".
1.a. Please note that this area is for discussion of the latest
RELEASE version of GoldED. Let's not discuss Beta versions
in here.
2. Please use REAL NAMES. Save your handle for more appropriate message
areas.
3. Leave the moderating to the moderator. If you spot a message that is not
appropriate for the echo, just ignore it. 90% of the time I will handle
this type of message in Netmail, where it belongs. Just because you don't
see any action from the moderator doesn't mean it's not there.
4. I have a VERY low tolerance for Flames and the act of Flaming others. I
will usually only send one warning to a participant who insists on flaming
in the echo. Personal Attacks will not be tolerated.
5. Show a little courtesy to others. Be helpful and remember that all
suggestions and hints to better operate GoldED are welcome.
6. Limit the use of quotes. Quote only the lines that are absolutely
nescessary for others to find out what is being discussed.
7. Comments to these rules and complaints/comments to the moderator
must be sent via netmail ALWAYS!
That's it! Enjoy the conference, folks. GoldED is already leaps and bounds
ahead of the rest, let's help keep it that way and support the excellent work
Odinn has done.
