Rules and Guidelines
Modified September 15, 2014
This conference is moderated by Dallas Hinton of Fidonet 1:153/715.
Conference information:
ARTWARE is a product support echo open to all for the discussion, chat,
assistance, etc. of ARTWARE products. Open to all authors, users, distributors,
support sites and everyone who uses shareware.
Posting a message in this echo will be understood by the Moderator to be
a declaration of your intent to abide by these and any other rules that
may, of necessity, be formulated. *Post in English Only Please.* OTher
languages may be used if a translation to ENglish is available within
the same message, to the best of your abilities. The flip side of this
is that flaming somebody whose primary language is not English for
improper use of the language is unacceptable.
We expect to have little to do here, as most who participate in this
echo should be familiar with standard rules of echomail etiquette. For
those who are new here, please make note of them as they apply to this
echo, as listed below.
1. The topics of this conference should be related to TimEd, NetMgr,
WIMM, JAMINFO and related Software, including distributors, authors
and users alike. This includes third party authors and their
products.
2. Avoid excessive quoting. Try to quote enough of the message so that
the person you are responding to understands the reply and can
relate it to what was being discussed.
3. Users are requested to please consider both the QUALITY and QUANTITY
of what they post, keeping in mind the costs incurred for moving the
mail. SOme users of this echo may still by necessity need to dial
long distance or are charged according to the bandwidth they
consume. Please consider them, and the costs they incur to
participate in FIdonet.
4. MOderation issues will only be handled via FIdonet netmail. IF
posts emanating from your system appear in this echomail conference
then you are assumed to be able to receive and respond to FIdonet
netmail.
If you feel that someone is out of line, please make the
Moderator(s) aware of the situation through Netmail, and allow them
to follow through.
5. Use of handles and or aliases is not allowed. Those people who are
logged on to bbs's using an alias should post their real names
prominently in the body of each message they post. All messages
posted here should show the actual Fidonet address of the
originating system or the system which provides an approved gateway.
SEe below for echo policy regarding gateways to other networks.
6. There shall be no bashing of hardware, hardware manufacturers,
software programs, software authors or any other individuals. If you
have a problem with a program, company or piece of equipment and want
to discuss it in an effort to get some help, fine, but let's not tear
something down unless you can offer constructive suggestions for
building it back up. There will not be any widget wars.*
7. NO gating outside FIdonet permitted except where approved by the
moderator and the participants of the echo. IF a gate to another
network is approved the provider of that gateway is responsible for
all traffic entering the echo. Spam and other undesirable traffic
entering via such a gateway will be grounds for an immediate request
for the gateway to be closed. failure to respond to this request in
a timely manner will be considered excessively annoying, and will
generate a feed cut.
This is a living document and may change if the moderator(s) sees the
need to revise it further.
