The 30 Commandments of BBSing
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
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.

and regulations affecting BBS telecommunications, or thy will
face the wrath of the judicial system.
30. Thou shalt not hack.
