Conference rules for the RA_SUPPORT echo: rev. 29 May 14
Posting Frequency: 1st 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!
