Conference rules for the RA_SUPPORT echo: rev. 2 Feb 98 Posting Frequency: 1st and 15th of the month. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. This conference is available to any SYSOP who uses or is genuinely interested in using RemoteAccess, the bbs software developed and written by Bruce Morse, RemoteAccess Central (formerly written by andrew milner, wantree development). 2. This conference may be gated to any other amateur mail networks, provided that: a) We are notified of the name of the network and gating system, b) All messages posted here contain a valid origin line and sufficient information to allow a reply via NetMail through "normal" channels. 3. Any topic that relates DIRECTLY to RemoteAccess may be discussed unless it has been specifically declared "off topic" by us. FLAMES ARE ABSOLUTELY NOT PERMITTED, nor are "QuickBBS vs RemoteAccess" type messages. 4. Third party developers are welcome to post OCCASIONAL messages about their utilities provided that the utility specifically supports RemoteAccess, and its interface to same. (The INTERFACE to RA is topical: the actual configuring of the utility is not) 5. For all intents and purposes, the rules for technical content of EchoMail as defined below are adopted for use in this echo. a) Tearlines are not to exceed 35 characters. b) Tearlines should only contain "packer" OR editor program information. c) Tearlines should not contain any text if there is a PID control line in the message. d) Origin Lines should not exceed 79 characters including the required ending of a proper network address. e) The use of characters above ASCII 127 and non-printable, low-order control codes are not allowed except when used in screen shots posted to aid someone in their setup. 6. Multi-line signatures, multi-line "tag lines", and multiple origin lines are disallowed. They tend to only increase the cost of moving this and other echos around the world, and it is our view that they would be much more appropriate in local echos. a) The only time that multiple Origin Lines are acceptable is when they are on messages that are gated from one Fido style network to another Fido style network. 7. We reserve the right to be steel-fisted bastards and deny specific individuals posting access to this conference if the individual repeatedly ignores requests to terminate a message thread or continues to violate one or more of the echo rules. 8. Do as you would be done by, and don't take yourself too seriously. Remember, we're doing this for FUN!
