RP> (Continued from previous message)
RP>
RP> 6. Personal messages, chit chat and nonsense are not permitted.
RP> Individual thank you messages are personal, and should be sent by
RP> NetMail.
RP>
RP> 7. Encrypted and rotated messages are forbidden.
What is a rotated message?
- Arnett Carroll
RP>
RP> 8. Files encoded using UUENCODE, or Bryan Smith's BIN2BAT.COM are
RP> allowed here, providing they meet the following criteria:
RP>
RP> a. They take up no more than one message of 125 lines or less.
RP> This is to ensure that we don't get truncated versions.
RP>
RP> b. They are of general interest to CLIPPER programmers.
RP>
RP> c. They are unable to be sent through the echo in any other way.
RP> This means no .PRG files are to be sent using this method.
Can source code "solutions" be sent using this conference?
I think that the example of actual code could be a valuable
problem-solving tool.
- Arnett Carroll
RP>
RP> d. A description is included, either in the message with the
RP> encoded file itself or in the message immediately preceding
RP> or following it.
RP>
RP> e. You explain which method of encoding was used.
RP>
RP> f. You do NOT mention the word encryption.
RP>
RP> 9. All messages in this echo are considered public domain.
RP>
RP> Be aware that when you post copyrighted code that you wrote, it
RP> will be assumed to have been donated to the public domain.
RP>
RP> It would be best if you specifically donate your posted code to
RP> public domain in the same message that you post it in.
RP>
RP> You may be violating international copyright laws if you post
RP> copyrighted code that is not your own.
RP>
RP>
RP> 10. Please try to keep the quoted portions of your messages SHORT.
RP> Excessive quoting adds to expense and overhead. Quote just enough
RP> to identify the thread of the conversation for other users.
RP>
RP> 11. Keep the Topic lines current. If your message content has wandered
RP> from the original topic, please enter a new Topic line.
RP>
RP> 12. Posting of test messages or BBS ads will be considered annoying
RP> behavior.
RP>
RP> It is always appropriate to respond to a request for a particular
RP> type or name of CLIPPER related file.
RP>
RP> Except for the Moderator(s), it is never appropriate to respond in
RP> the echo to a test message. When a person posts a request for a
RP> response because they don't believe they have an echo connection,
RP> the Moderator and/or Co-Moderator shall respond with a brief
RP> reply. We understand that not all people have NetMail priveleges
RP> and a timely response in the echo is not only courteous, but
RP> should eliminate the need for others to post responses. Please, if
RP> you feel it is your duty to respond to test messages, do it in
RP> Netmail.
RP>
RP> 13. Advertising is not permitted or tolerated. PERIOD!
RP>
RP> This means you may not advertise your shareware applications here,
RP> even if they are only useful to CLIPPER users.
RP>
RP> 14. For Sale ads of anything are off topic. No exceptions. Please use
RP> one of the many FORSALE echoes to sell or find your bargains.
RP>
RP> 15. The use of visible ASCII (control) characters ASCII 31 and below
RP> is prohibited in this echo. Use of eight bit characters above 127
RP> will be permitted, subject to the following restriction:
RP>
RP> No use of ANY characters to create "cutesy" quote boxes,
RP> multi-line signatures, nor for purely decorative purposes in
RP> messages.
RP>
RP> You may create a short _PLAIN_TEXT_ signature that includes your
RP> internet address as well as your FIDO address, et al. This can be
RP> a maximum of three lines of text.
RP>
RP> The only exception to this rule is by use of the moderator to call
RP> attention to an important item, such as the box at the top of the
RP> CLIPPER echo rules, which is not solely decorative, but is used to
RP> gain the attention of all readers.
RP>
RP> 16. No aliases are allowed in this conference. Use your real name.
RP>
RP> 17. PGP keys and clear signed messages are allowed.
RP>
RP> 18. The Moderators reserve the right to take part in any discussions
RP> on the echo, without regard to their status as Moderator.
RP>
RP> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
RP>
RP> 3. Porting, Cross Posting and Collecting.
RP>
RP> 1. This conference MAY NOT be ported to the BIX echo mail system,
RP> CompuServe or to any other network's mail system without the
RP> express written permission of the Moderator.
