• New echo rules

    From Sean Dennis@1:18/200 to All on Thu Mar 18 20:04:30 2010
    Hello, All.

    Finally got around to editing the rules. New items will have a + next to them (for this posting only).

    Fidonet BLUEWAVE (Blue Wave Chat and Support) Echo Rules
    Updated 28 March 2010

    Moderator: Sean Dennis (1:18/200)

    This echo is for the discussion and support of:

    + -- the original line of Blue Wave offline mail readers and mail doors
    + by George Hatchew. Blue Wave is an abandonware (unregisterable)
    + product so this echo provides "unofficial" support. THE DISCUSSION
    + OF "CRACKS" OR UNOFFICIAL SERIAL NUMBERS FOR THE BLUE WAVE LINE
    + OF PRODUCTS IS OFF-TOPIC HERE AND MAY RESULT IN MODERATOR ACTION.
    +
    + -- any program that directly works with the Blue Wave offline mail format,
    + be it a mail reader or BBS software (please limit the discussion of BBS
    + software within the scope of Blue Wave; any other discussion is off-topic + here). Examples of such programs: Multimail, OLMS, Ezycom BBS, MBSE BBS, + et cetera.

    + Developers of Blue Wave-related programs may use this echo for support and
    + testing (within reason) for their programs.

    General guidelines and policies are in place to help facilitate the smooth
    flow of conversation in here. By your participation in this echo, you
    agree to abide by the following:

    -- Please keep off-topic traffic to a minimum. If it doesn't involve
    Blue Wave, please move the conversation elsewhere.

    -- Please do not overquote. There is no need to quote twenty (20) lines
    of a message to respond with "I agree!" or something like that. You
    need to remember that even in this day and age of Fidonet over the
    internet, people still pay for their bandwidth and the extra data
    isn't appreciated.

    -- No flaming (this includes operating system flames) and no profanity
    is allowed. If you wouldn't say it to your mother, don't say it in here.

    -- If you disagree with someone, take it to netmail or email. Do NOT
    get into it in the echo.

    + -- Ads for Blue Wave-related programs are allowed (i.e. a new version of
    + a program). No ads for anything else are allowed.

    + -- Please do not post "test" messages in here unless they are from a
    + developer testing his Blue Wave-related product.

    -- Except for P4, no local/regional echomail policies (such as EP1) are
    recognized in this echo.

    -- English is the primary language of this echo, however, I do realize that
    there are non-native English speakers in here. You may speak in your
    native tongue as long as there is an English translation (to the best
    of your availability) available in the same message.

    -- Let the moderator do the moderating. If you have issues with someone
    else, take them to netmail or email and not in the echo. If you have
    a problem with the moderator, please take it to netmail.

    -- This is a living document and subject to change without notice by the
    moderator.

    -- Please do not gate this echo outside of Fidonet by any means without
    written permission of the moderator.

    Thank you for your participation in BLUEWAVE!
