+shout_abuse
+
+ This help file is to give some guidance on the accepted use of shouting.
+Breaking these guidelines may result in sanctions, such as muzzling (your
+shouting privileges revoked). REMEMBER: some people use text boards but still
+have shout on, which means that unnecessary shouts scroll their screen
+unnecessarily.
+
+THINGS THAT ANNOY OTHERS:
+
+ Saying the same or similar things several times in a row. For example:
+
+ --> DAV is here.
+ --> DAV is here.
+ --> DAV greets all.
+ --> DAV is here.
+
+ Annoying others by imitating system messages. For example:
+
+ --> DAV has left a message for you.
+ --> DAV tells you: hi how are you?
+
+ Talking about something that should be in a channel -- after warnings.
+ The channel help file ("help channel") gives a list of all pre-defined
+ channels.
+
+ Also too much hugging and kissing -- except for login/out greetings; use
+ channel 51 for that please -- but keep the language clean!
+
+ Cursing and cussing others on shouts (including don't play xxx for yyy
+ reason).
+
+ Shouting far too often, lengthy shouts (e.g., ASCII pictures) beyond about
+ five or so lines).
+
+ Holding two person conversations on shout.
+
+ Anything else an admin sees fit.
+
+
+
+THINGS THAT ARE FORBIDDEN:
+
+ Swearing, in general or at others.
+
+ Discriminatory remarks -- see help etiquette.
+
+ Constant shout abuse.
+
+ Anything else an admin sees fit.
+
+
+ NOTE: any sanctions that are made against you are likely to be recorded,
+so punishment may be incremental for a second offence. A bad comment
+file is also likely to get you barred from privileges that may occur
+time to time, including the possibility of adminship.
