Policy Draft for the TRS-MOD134 National TRS80 Conference
Revised: 19 Jul 1995 Filename: TRSECHO.RUL
---------------------------------------------------------
The TRS-MOD134 echo is for the discussion of the TRS80
Models I, II, III, 4x, and 16 computers, related hardware,
software, and TRS-Link TRS-80 Magazine. There are other
Tandy related conferences for the CoCo and Mod 1000-series
computers. Please limit the discussions in this conference
to the Model I/II/III/4x/100/102/12/16 TRS80 line of
computers.
Members of supporting bulletin boards have an opportunity
to have questions regarding TRS80 computers answered by a
large group of knowledgeable people. However, certain
actions will not be tolerated here and can be deemed
"excessively annoying" as provided in FidoNet's POLICY 4:
1) Flames will not be tolerated. If you have a valid
beef against another user here in this conference,
use netmail. Flames are a waste of band-width, and
the offending party will have their SysOp informed
of their indiscretions.
2) All users of this conference are requested to use
lower case when posting. Upper case typing looks
like you are screaming, and your messages are
generally overlooked. There isn't a single computer
around that can't use lower-case, unless you are
using an early Model I without the lower-case
modification installed.
3) Extensive signatures, high-bit ASCII graphics, or
repeated advertising of non-FidoNet boards will not
be allowed. We encourage SysOps using TRS80-based
BBSes to let others know of their systems, but it is
not necessary to place your system information on
each message you post. Extended (IBM) graphics are
not allowed here. Not every user has an IBM
computer, and those graphics do very strange things
to the uninitated.
4) Foul, abusive, language is not allowed. This is a
family conference. If you cannot keep your language
clean, find another conference that allows it.
5) Pirated software products, the discussion of how to
illegally modify software, or the discussion of
distribution of illegally obtained software is not a
valid topic here. This includes the discussion of
eSoft's TBBS products. If you are not a registered
owner of TBBS, you are persuaded not to discuss
their product line for the purpose of obtaining them
fraudulently.
6) The discussion of this policy, other bulletin board
policies, verification procedures used, origin
lines, or other unrelated discussions are not
allowed. General chatting, however, is allowed,
provided that it does not get out of hand. We like
to consider everyone here our friends, and welcome
interesting conversations, but you must remember
that SysOps *PAY* to have this echo sent to them;
therefore you must exercise restraint.
Persons who violate these policies will be warned once in
this conference. The second time the SysOp at the origin
line will be notified of policy violation. The third and
final time will be the removal of the offending user from
the conference. All messages leading up to the policy
violation will be exported to a disk file and may be used to
initiate those procedures.
