*** DESQVIEW CONFERENCE RULES *** Revised 02/04/95
In compliance with Fidonet Echo Policy, the following will be posted at
least once a month. These rules are in addition to any valid Fidonet
rules or policy, and may be updated at any time by the Moderator.
ALL USERS WHO POST IN THIS CONFERENCE MUST AGREE TO ABIDE BY THE RULES
STATED HEREIN AND ALL OTHER PREVAILING FIDONET RULES AND POLICY.
This is the International Fidonet Echomail Conference DESQVIEW. It is
paid for by individual systems who help distribute it. Please follow
Conference Rules to help keep moving DESQVIEW as cost effective as
possible.
The Fidonet Echomail Conference DESQVIEW is not owned or operated by
Quarterdeck Office Systems. It is an echomail conference provided by
the Fidonet amateur e-mail network.
Discussions are permitted on *all Quarterdeck products* including
DESQview, DESQview/X, QEMM, Manifest, CleanSweep, Sidebar, and the
forthcoming Quarterdeck Internet Products.
All discussions, including those regarding hardware and software, shall
be of a technical nature only and must pertain to the operation or
enhancement of a Quarterdeck product. When a discussion goes beyond
this, then either use netmail or another more appropriate conference.
This is not a Windows bashing conference or a debate conference on
DESQview vs. Windows, DESQview vs. OS/2, QEMM vs. Netroom, etc.
Bashing is strictly off-topic and annoying.
No advertising is permitted. This includes, but is not limited to,
commercial products/services, BBS notices, BBS/other Files Lists. If you
wish to claim an exception, please seek Moderator approval via netmail
in advance of posting of such.
Periodic posts from DVNET and Quarterdeck will be periodically entered
in this conference. These postings are of an informational nature for
Quarterdeck product users and have been approved by the Moderator.
DEBUG/UUENCODE file script postings are NOT permitted. Posting of these
type messages will be considered annoying behavior.
DVNET (Headquarters 1:355/38@fidonet.org) is considered the official
method of distributing files to enhance Quarterdeck products. DVNET
member systems have their file listings available for file request under
the magic name DVNET. A DVNET systems list is published monthly in the
DESQVIEW conference or it can be file requested from 1:355/38 as
DVNet.lst. DVN-INF.* is available from any DVNET system. It contains
DVNET policy, setup info, author submission info, and an application.
Flames or obscenities are not permitted either in posted or quoted form.
LEAVE MODERATING TO THE MODERATOR. If you wish to chastise someone,
then do it via netmail, or netmail the Moderator so that he can take
action.
If a Topic or Thread is deemed off-topic by the Moderator, then take any
discussion of such to netmail.
Posting "test" messages, shall be considered very annoying behavior.
If in the message header the "From:" field is an alias, then include
your real name at the bottom of the message.
Posting a multi-line or fancy signatures at the bottom of a message is
considered annoying. Please do not "sign" your name unless your
header name is an alias.
When quoting, quote ONLY pertinent information to get the original point
across. Quoting entire messages and/or signature/tag/origin lines is
very annoying.
Discussion of routine Fidonet information should be discussed with your
SysOp or NC, not in this conference.
Eight-bit ASCII characters (>128) or ASCII control codes are not
permitted, either in the message header, body, or tag/origin line, or
screen pastes from DV screen captures.
Origin lines must follow accepted Fidonet Echomail Policy.
Although this is an International Conference in nature, ENGLISH is the
official accepted language.
This conference may NOT be ported to any other network without the
express written permission of the Moderator.
Questioning Moderator Policy in the DESQVIEW echo shall be considered
excessively annoying. Please use NETMAIL. The Moderators are always
open to discussion concerning echo policy and welcome suggestions and
comments via NETMAIL.
The Moderators may take part in active discussion in the echo without
necessarily acting in any official capacity, unless the message is
posted "From: Moderator", states "DESQview Moderator" in the origin line
and/or is signed using one of the "official signatures" below:
Keith Wineka, DESQVIEW Moderator Bill Mitchell, DESQVIEW Moderator
