The 30 Commandments of BBSing
|
||
ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ
|

|
||
It has finally happened. Some very intelligent SysOp gave some great thought
|
||
as to how a BBS should be operated and came up with these Commandments. We
|
||
would be very remiss if We kept these from you, so here they are:
|
||
|
||
1. Thou shalt love thy BBS with all thy heart and all thy bytes.
|
||
2. Thou shalt remember thy name and thy password.
|
||
3. Thou shalt not POST IN ALL CAPS!
|
||
4. Thou shalt use your real name when required.
|
||
5. Thou shalt call a BBS no more than three times a day.
|
||
6. Honor thy SysOp.
|
||
7. Thou shalt not covet they neighbor's password, nor his or her
|
||
real name, computer, software, nor any other thing belonging to
|
||
him or her.
|
||
8. Thou shalt not post messages that are stupid, worthless, or
|
||
have no meaning.
|
||
9. Thou shalt use the English language properly.
|
||
10. Thou shalt spell thy words correctly.
|
||
11. Thou shalt delete thine own mail.
|
||
12. Thou shalt delete thine olden messages.
|
||
13. Thou shalt help others users.
|
||
14. Thou shalt not post anonymously when offering criticism.
|
||
15. Thou shalt keep thy extremely foul language to thyself.
|
||
16. Thou shalt not occupy thy BBS with thine arguments, for
|
||
verily, I say unto thee that thou shalt maketh a fool of
|
||
thyself.
|
||
17. Woe be unto the user who attempt to crash thy BBS, for he or
|
||
she shalt be cast out from the sanctuary of thy hobby and
|
||
must repent by doing 40 days and 40 nights of penance in
|
||
voice-only communications.
|
||
18. Thou shalt first dial BBS number during the day by way of
|
||
voice line to assure the correct number.
|
||
19. Thou shalt not post other users' real names.
|
||
20. Thou shalt not post messages while drunk.
|
||
21. Thou shalt confine thy messages to those of friendship,
|
||
requests for assistance, aid to the needy, advice, and
|
||
advancement of thy hobby; and thou art obligated to repel any
|
||
who wouldst transgress upon those commandments.
|
||
22. If thou doth promise to reply to a message and thou doth not,
|
||
then surely thou shalt spill coffee into thy keyboard and
|
||
burn out thy central processing chip.
|
||
23. Thou shalt not giveth any false information when applying for
|
||
membership to thy BBS, for verily it is written that
|
||
whosoever shall do so will surely be found out and thy
|
||
welcome on all boards will be thus denied forever and ever.
|
||
24. Thou shalt log on properly and in accordance with the SysOp's
|
||
rules.
|
||
25. Thou shalt observe BBS time limits.
|
||
26. Thou shalt not upload "worm" or "virus" programs.
|
||
27. Thou shalt not ask stupid questions that are already fully
|
||
explained in the BBS instructions.
|
||
28. Thou shalt not exchange copyrighted software thru the BBS.
|
||
29. Thou shalt not violate applicable state/federal/local laws
|
||
and regulations affecting BBS telecommunications, or thy will
|
||
face the wrath of the judicial system.
|
||
30. Thou shalt not hack.
