TUB - The Squish Support Echo
Moderator - Joe Davis, 1:261/1380
Last updated: 02/10/2003
1 - This echo is for SQUISH support. Messages posted here should
pertain to Squish and related utilities. Discussions that start
to lean more toward Maximus, MEX/MECCA scripts or 3rd party
software should be continued in MUFFIN: Maximus & related utilities.
English is the language of this echo.
2 - When someone posts a message requesting help, please try to be as
helpful and accurate as possible.
3 - This echo is restricted to sysops (or soon to be sysops) only.
It may not be made generally available to your users.
4 - Please use your real name when posting here. If you aren't sure,
check your birth certificate.
5 - Avoid creating unneeded traffic. Here's a list of basic "No-no's":
No: BBS ads, 'test' messages, "where are you from" chains, multiple
tearlines, replies to off-topic messages, encrypted messages, PGP
sigs, multiline sigs or taglines, playing moderator (unless you -are-
the moderator), additional headers/footers in messages, hi-ascii/ascii
"artwork" (we really -don't- care to see it), uuencoded files, or
huge amounts of over-quoting.
("high-bit" ASCII characters are permitted ONLY in the context of
demonstrating something directly related to Squish or a related
util. Other uses are not allowed. ANSI is -never- allowed.)
If a program (reader, tagline mgr, etc.) is adding a lot of extra
junk to messages, please DON'T use it here. (The moderator will
decide what's "extra junk", and let you know.)
"Internet-style" signatures are -greatly- unwelcome, as well as
listing every email account or FTN-type address you have.
Leave it out, please. One -short- line is an "acceptable" signature.
Please, do not use a "shotgun" approach to posting, cc'ing a message
to all Maximus-related echoes. Pick the one echo that applies to
your topic, and post the message only in that one.
6 - Please, limit quoting in your replies. (If you're quoting more than
a couple lines, you're probably quoting too much.) Never quote tag/
tear/origin lines.
7 - "OS Bashing" is stupid, and not welcome here. Don't do it. Period.
This also means, leave your cutesy "OS put-down" tag/origin lines
out of this echo. (Grow up, ok?)
8 - Rules of Common Courtesy apply at -all- times. If you want to argue
with, or complain to someone, do it elsewhere. Play nice!
9 - File announcements are allowed by authors of utilities directly
related to the topic of this echo. You are also encouraged to help
others find programs they may need. When doing so, please include
filenames, and what restrictions (if any) you have on file requests.
In the case of files via HTTP or FTP, *try* to include the URL (and
directory if needed) of the file as well.
10 - This echo may not be gated (in or out) to any other FTN-style network,
or the internet, without without prior permission of the moderator.
Authorized gates will be published in the ELIST*.* listing for this
echo.
11 - Moderator may be lax or strict with these rules, based solely on
the Moderator's discretion. Previous precedent may or may not be
be used, again at the Moderator's discretion.
12 - Moderator may edit any part of these rules, at any time, to suit any
given circumstance.
Changes will be made to this list as needed. Your input is welcome via
netmail. (Arguing about moderator decisions/rules is not welcome in the
echo... again, please use netmail.)
Thanks for using the TUB echo!
