| Subject: | [Admin] Bi-weekly Mini-FAQ (NEWBIES, READ!) |
| Date: | Sat, 27 Jun 1998 19:00:25 -0600 |
You may not need it today, but you may need it sometime before the next one
is posted.
This is the now official Bi-Weekly Mini-FAQ, which takes the place of
posting the large FAQ's very often. They are available at
http://www.coastnet.com/~dvixen/
BASIC HELP:
1. To unsubscribe, send a message to listserv@********.itribe.net with a
blank subject and a body of 'unsubscribe ShadowRN Your@*****.address'
2 To get HELP, including the unsubscribe command, send a message to
listserv@********.itribe.net, no subject, body 'HELP'
3. Read the help and the FAQ's before posting to the list or emailing me
asking for help.
POSTING GUIDELINES:
1. When replying to a message, be sure to quote what you are replying too.
1a. Snip the part that you aren't replying too, but don't snip so much it
becomes illegible
1b. Be sure to Correctly identify who said what you are quoting.
Good example:
----
On Friday July 18th Bull Said:
>Hello, testing?
Please don't send test messages to the list.
-Adam
-----
Bad Example:
-----
On suchaday Chez said
On suchaday Lucid said
On suchaday Hayden said
>>>Some text
>>20 lines of unreleated text.
>A few more lines of even more unrelated text.
>>Some stuff from the other poster.
Cool. I'd ground that through a quickening for a dollar!
-Adam
-----
1d. Snip a persons signature file, unless it is vital to the reply.
1e. Do not use Old-Shadowrun style quotes.
Example:
>>>>[Cool]<<<<
--Anonymous (10:44:37/7-19-58)
This confuses the people who are on both ShadowRN and ShadowTK, and looks
ugly, to boot.
2. After writing your email, take ten (No, take 20.) seconds to think
"Should this go to the list, or directly to the person I'm replying too?"
If its indepth and rather specific, it may be better just going to the one
person. This applies in triplicate if its a flame or if its OFF TOPIC.
3. Do not Start a thread that is already OFF TOPIC. [OT]. We get enough
[OT] from topic drift, anyhow.
4. Full logs since the inception of the list are available via anonymous
ftp at listproc.itribe.net, and at http://www.itribe.net/~mark
5. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.
