TAG Wperfect Rules for the area Wperfect The WordPerfect (WPERFECT) Conference Official Conference Guidelines Revised: September 12, 1999 1 - This conference is for the discussion of what is currently known as Corel Corporation's WordPerfect. Discussions about other Corel products included in the Suite are also fair game. 2 - Discussion of non-WordPerfect software should be taken to the appropriate echo. However, discussion of commercial and shareware third-party applications designed to work with WordPerfect (i.e., document templates, macros, font systems, off-line readers, etc.) is allowed. Discussions about tweaking operating systems or writing batch files to optimize the use of WordPerfect are permissible until they move away from the focus of this echo, which is WordPerfect. 3 - When asking for help or posting information on a product please include the version number and platform of the software. This will help everyone keep track of what we're talking about (i.e., "I'm using WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS..."). Discussion of all versions of WordPerfect products on all platforms is welcome. 4 - No personal attacks (aka flaming) are permitted in the echo. This includes berating a reader for asking a question or posting a message you find simple/stupid/offensive. The moderator will deal with any violations of the rules. If you feel you must reply, please use private mail. In addition, profanity will not be tolerated. 5 - ANSI Graphics are not allowed in any message. This includes personal signatures and taglines. These characters can cause severe problems on some systems that receive the echo. Lengthy signatures with ASCII art are also frowned on. 6 - As the majority of the echo users are English speaking, messages in this conference should be in English whenever possible. However, all users are welcome. 7 - Software/Hardware wars (My word processor/drawing package/computer is better than yours) will not be tolerated. 8 - Real names are preferred. In other words, please refrain from using an alias. 9 - Above all else, enjoy the conference and feel free to jump in on any message or conversation that interests you. 10 - Avoid excessive quoting. It costs money to send messages, but do quote enough so others know to what you are referring. NOTE - This echo is in no way affiliated with Corel Corporation and is run by and for users of WordPerfect. All Corel product names are trademarks of Corel.
