These may be found at http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/asciiart/guidelines.txt. You can also get this by e-mailing rec-arts-ascii@gweep.ca with the subject 'get file: guidelines.txt'. A list of other files can be found my using the subject 'list files' and then retreived using 'get file: FILENAME'. Any inquiries, comments or suggestions should be sent to the group moderator at rec-arts-ascii-moderator@gweep.ca. ======= Charter ======= The official charter for rec.arts.ascii, as sent in the newgroup control message, is: The new group rec.arts.ascii will be the appropriate group for postings to include, but not be limited to, the following: o All forms of ASCII art including, but not limited to: - Standard ASCII art. - Animations. - ANSI color graphics. o Discussion about pieces of art. o Requests for specific pieces of art, and their fulfillment. o Questions and answers covering: - Creating and viewing ASCII art. - Locating FTP sites for ASCII art and related files. o Discussion about artists in the field. === FAQ === An ascii art FAQ is posted to the group with the subject [FAQ] Ascii Art Help and Guidance. This is also available at http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/asciiart/faq.txt and from the mail server. Mail rec-arts-ascii@gweep.ca with subject 'get file: faq.txt'. (Note that this is not yet happening and is on my To Do list). ========== Moderation ========== rec.arts.ascii was created as a moderated group meaning that all posts are reviewed before being sent to the group. That work is done by a robomoderator which checks that the posts have the correct format before approving them. It can also forward a specific posters posts to a human moderation for approval if necessary but it is hoped that the group will be self policing and that this will not be necessary. The criteria checked for are: Subject must be tagged either [PIC] for pictures [REQ] for requests for others to draw pictures (people responding to such requests are asked to change the tag to [PIC]) [DIS] for general ascii art related discussion. The moderators will also use [ADMIN] for posting any other important information regarding the functioning of the group. The robomod will also check that the posts are in plain text only and that the line length is set to less than 200 characters. Unless you have the phrase 'long lines' in the body please keep the lines to less than 80 characters, the robomod will send out reminders of this is you don't. Anything longer than this will be sent to the moderator for hand inspection. Cross-posting will be allowed provided that it is to no more than three groups and that the followup-to header is set to only one group. Cross-posting to other moderated groups is not allowed except under extreme circumstances. If you think you have a very good case then contact the moderators. -- Graham Drabble From rec-arts-ascii-moderator@gweep.ca Mon Aug 19 14:33:50 2002 Path: newsserver.rrzn.uni-hannover.de!news-han1.dfn.de!news-nue1.dfn.de!uni-erlangen.de!syros.belnet.be!news.belnet.be!newsfeed.stanford.edu!lios!news.gweep.ca!not-for-mail Message-ID: From: FAQ Autoposter Newsgroups: rec.arts.ascii Subject: [ADMIN] Posting guidelines for rec.arts.ascii Date: Mon, 19 Aug 2002 07:01:05 +0000 (UTC) Lines: 132 Supersedes: Followup-To: poster Organization: Gweep Systems, Vancouver BC, Canada Sender: robomod@lios.aq2.gweep.ca Approved: rec-arts-ascii-moderator@gweep.ca Distribution: world Expires: Mon, 09 Sep 2002 00:01:03 PDT NNTP-Posting-Host: localhost X-Trace: lios.aq2.gweep.ca 1029740465 28319 127.0.0.1 (19 Aug 2002 07:01:05 GMT) X-Complaints-To: usenet@lios.aq2.gweep.ca NNTP-Posting-Date: Mon, 19 Aug 2002 07:01:05 +0000 (UTC) Summary: This posting contains the charter and posting guidelines for the moderated newsgroup rec.arts.ascii.
