(PT) File - Admin-Guidelines

Dear members ,

Our group's main motive is to sharing knowledge & experinces of each other,
solving each others technical problem.

Please follow the following guidelines on this mailing list. Please read this
completely before arguing with the moderator about the reject of your post.

1. Use a proper subject
-----------------------

A proper Subject is very important. Subject should be understandable. It should
be an abstract of what your question is. (i.e instantly one should
guess/understand the content).

Some example subject lines are:
* problem/doubt in increment.
* problem/doubt in loop.
* static functions
* C/C++ Puzzle (man crossing river)

Subject lines such as `help me`., `help please`., `help help help` are liable
for rejection. If you post without a subject, you are still liable for
rejection.

If you are posting a job offer/advertisement on this group, you should have a
subject starting with [commercial]. All advertisements should carry the
[commercial] tag on the subject line.
Examples:
* [commercial] Experienced C/C++ professionals wanted
* [commercial] New Freshers Group

If the question/mail that you are sending to the group is not C/C++ related but
you think would be interesting to the members of the group., then you should add
a "[ot]" tag to the subject line.
Examples:
* [ot] Interesting software engineering link
* [ot] programming humour
* [ot] patents problem

2. Question should be descriptive with all the details.
-------------------------------------------------------

Please mention your problem clearly and give as much details as possible. If you
have a compiler error., mention the compiler, the version, the error that it
throws, the part of your program that is causing the error etc.

3. Always do bottom posting.
----------------------------

For replying we prefer Bottom Posting than Top posting i.e. if you are replying
to someone's query, let the answer be mentioned below the query, so that no one
is confused and can understand the respective query and its answer. Please dont
start an argument on which is better. This has been heavily debated on this
list. Check the archives.

4. Remove irrelevant content.
-----------------------------

If the post that you are quoting is long., then trim it. Quote only the content
that is necessary. Dont quote a 5 page email for one small reply. Many people on
this list use POP3 and are on Dialup lines. Long unnecessary emails are painful
to them.

5. What should be posted and what should not ???
------------------------------------------------

You can mention any thing related to C/C++ programming. Queries, information or
job announcements, etc. are allowed here. Anything other than C/C++ programming
is considered off topic on this group. Any off-topic messages, without the
"[ot]" tag are liable for rejection by the moderator.

friends.
