|

|
|
Well, as inspired by The Silver Elf,
|
|||
|
|
I have decided to make an addition to
|
|||
|
|
the lists. Hopefully it will get at
|
|||
|
|
least a few laughs. (Especially to
|
|||
|
|
us Real Sysops!)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
---------------------------------------
|
|||
|
|
Real users do not scan all the boards
|
|||
|
|
and read all the messages looking for
|
|||
|
|
something exciting.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Real users post occasionally something
|
|||
|
|
of interest which does NOT include:
|
|||
|
|
Backspacing tips
|
|||
|
|
Messages saying "Just taking up
|
|||
|
|
space"
|
|||
|
|
Messages asking for E-Mail
|
|||
|
|
Messages saying "Got some new stuff
|
|||
|
|
.. Send mail."
|
|||
|
|
Messages telling about "A Micro-
|
|||
|
|
modem for sale! $215"
|
|||
|
|
or
|
|||
|
|
Messages saying they will trade
|
|||
|
|
a MM for an Apple-Cat in working
|
|||
|
|
condition.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Real users don't try every command on
|
|||
|
|
the main menu, then try them again to
|
|||
|
|
see if they do something amazingly
|
|||
|
|
different.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Real users don't automatically assume
|
|||
|
|
The Sysop will be there all the time,
|
|||
|
|
and don't get annoyed and press Ctrl-G
|
|||
|
|
10,000 times when he's not there.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Real users don't expect the Sysop Stat
|
|||
|
|
message to say anything but "Not
|
|||
|
|
available"
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Real users don't constantly bug The
|
|||
|
|
Sysop for levels.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Real users do things to deserve levels.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Real users do not leave stupid questions
|
|||
|
|
in feedback or messages and expect
|
|||
|
|
answers.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Real users do not look for important
|
|||
|
|
people in your user file and then start
|
|||
|
|
supporting them and sending them E-Mail
|
|||
|
|
hoping to pick up some great tips or be
|
|||
|
|
recognized as a "Real Pirate" from them.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Real users are not poor.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Real users do not expect The Sysop to
|
|||
|
|
remember everything they have ever
|
|||
|
|
said, Real users understand that they
|
|||
|
|
are not the most important figure on
|
|||
|
|
the board.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Real users do not command search. (I.E.
|
|||
|
|
A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,...,!,@,#,$,%,^,&,*)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Real users read the system news when it
|
|||
|
|
has been updated so they don't have to
|
|||
|
|
command search.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Real users have long since printed out
|
|||
|
|
the menu and other things so they do
|
|||
|
|
not have to continually return to them.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Real users do not call right back after
|
|||
|
|
their time is up.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Real users are not afraid when The
|
|||
|
|
Sysop answers the phone. Real users
|
|||
|
|
will at least acknowledge that they are
|
|||
|
|
there.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Real users don't expect the board to be
|
|||
|
|
up all 24 hours all the time.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Real users are not terminally boring.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
On the War board:
|
|||
|
|
Real users do not create stupid wars
|
|||
|
|
like "Pepsi vs. Coke".
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Real users are not afraid to post with
|
|||
|
|
their name. Real users hardly ever post
|
|||
|
|
anonymously.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Real users enjoy killing unreal users
|
|||
|
|
with Commodores who post that their
|
|||
|
|
toy is best.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
In fact, real users do not reply to
|
|||
|
|
Commodores, they find out their
|
|||
|
|
address and destroy their house.
|
|||
