The printouts are from a collection dating from 1983-1985, and were generally made on an Epson MX-80 Dot-Matrix printer connected to an IBM PC-XT.

I guess the price we pay for having this board available to everyone is the occasional profanity and frequent posting of phone numbers/codes that mean nothing, are not new, are blatantly illegal and therefore against policy, or are simply ruggish. However, I WILL NOT SIT STILL and listen to a Doctor Dicklick spout off. Maybe I've had enought of 'NEW WARE' or 'WHAT'S THIS' or 'NEED BOX PLANS' messages. Perhaps this is the last straw. The purpose of any board, however, including this one, is to further people's knowledge. That means people that have a legitimate interest in learning, and the phone system we use without thinking about each day is something beautiful that people should* know more about. To make that easier on this board, and on all others, I propose the following, and it wouldn't take that much coding: 1. Modify the editor to disallow messages containing swear words. I think this would have the most impact on the anonymous board. As sysop, if you think having phreak philes on board gives a bad reputation, then what do you suppose having insults to gays and others people does for you on that particular board? Sysops *aren't* responsible for what goes up on their boards, but the **are** responsible for it staying there. 2. I'm not one to advocate 'posting requirements' or 'originality require- ments,' since there are people who don't know a lot and who should be able to learn if they want to. I would suggest, however, that you ban the words: NEW, WARE, AWESOME, GREAT, LATEST, GAY, FAG, JERK, HOT and others from the titles of messages. And their permutations, too. I think sometimes that writing a title like, 'LATEST AWESOME WARES' ac- tually inspires these ruggies to embellish the rest of the message. There are those who will say, but at least we can tell from the title whether to read a message or not, and you're right...I know when to press the space bar...right after I've seen the title. However, it is also the sysop's responsibility to do a little screening, and since the kind of message I'm talking about is so blatantly obvious, cleaning up this entire board would not be a hard thing (or timeconsuming) to do. I've got a lot more thoughts, but that's enough for now. John, I guess I am opening a question of sysop responsibility, but I feel that I can do that on this board. I don't think anybody, even other sysops, will say that this isn't one of the nicest boards in the country. I'm interested in maintaining that pleasantness. I don't think what I've outlined has been unfair in the slightest, nor would the programming aspects be too timeconsuming. You already must have some word scanning function in already, at least to check for duplicate titles. I say once again, the purpose of any bulletin board is to learn. The messages preceeding this one listed information of no use: one of those five 'hacking' numbers was the Safehouse itself. In the last message, how does only a four digit number help? We need a NPA and exchange number if it is indeed a phone number. People have complained of the ruggie problem before. I think it's time to do something about it. But most important, I think it's time to separate the ruggies from the people who truly want to learn, and to help those people to whatever level of understanding they desire. That's why I do what I do...to learn. We have a responsibility as users and the sysop has a reponsibility as an administrator to let that learning process grow. -=- The Dicer -=- Numb: 90 Subj: Not the place but... From: FENRIS ULF Date: 04-25-85 at 01:47 PM This is addressed to the last msg. It would not be fair to many users to edit everything they do. differnt people like differnt things some people feel that new ware msg are "k-kool". some users feel they cannot express them self without swearing and to try to scan it would be near impossible remember many of the people on this system make it their habit to get around things the could do such things as S*H*I*T well that is even worse than if it was just typed. We also can't infringe on the users first amendment rights now can we. What I am trying to say is it is too hard for the sysop to POLICE the board all they time should not be his job. If you do not like something you should voice you opion and see how others feel as you did. but if everyone wants to post (I don't know why) New Ware or call this rad bbs msg they can. as long as they put them in the right place. As this one is not and I am sorry for that but I put it here for the sake of coherrent discussion. Fenris Ulf I know I can't spell so I don't want to here about it.
