Don't you people *ever* read the FAQ? Let me quote for you. >From Question 1: > Common netiquette rules apply on the list, especially those related > to flaming, advertising, quoting, slang, and large sig files. Flames > are not welcome on the list itself. If you feel the need to flame > someone, please send it to them only. Commercial advertising is also > not welcome on the list. If you feel the need to advertise your mud, > start the subject with [AD]. When quoting previous pieces of mail, > only quote what is needed, do not quote the entire message, that just > wastes bandwidth and the readers' time. Also, sig files should be > kept to a minimum if at all possible. Finally, discussions on the use > of the English language are no longer welcome (ditto for calling > people Hitler), and these 'offenses' will result in a removal from the > list with a piece of form mail explaining why. Note the section on 'quoting' in particular. Over the last few days, people have been sending one line messages with about 3 pages of quoted material, most of which isn't even relevant to what they are posting about. And from question 6 (I believe): > (4) If you still must make an offtopic posting to the list, at least > include an 'ObCircle:' section containing something related to > CircleMUD. C'mon folks, this is a CircleMUD list. Geez. (= It ain't all *that* hard to remember to cut a bit of text here and there and to make your posts worthwhile, is it now? -- Erm... Yeah. Whatever. +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | Ensure that you have read the CircleMUD Mailing List FAQ: | | http://cspo.queensu.ca/~fletcher/Circle/list_faq.html | +-----------------------------------------------------------+
