> I. Subject.
Computer graphics, in all its manifestations, and,
accordingly, exchange of information and experience in this area,
any questions and answers.
Everything related to ZX Spectrum software
portable computers for processing and editing computer data
graphics.
Converting graphics from other platforms to the ZX platform

Discussion of graphics and graphic capabilities of other platforms,
in a limited size.
ASCII graphics.
Sprites and their animation.
> II. Information exchange form.
The language of the conference is Russian. Please use other languages
only when necessary.
Information, pictures, files. Posting ASCII-ART is accepted in
in normal form, if the horizontal size of the work is no more or
equals 63 characters. Otherwise, the work should be
encoded in UUE. UUE posting (for zx-screens) is limited to 2-3
jobs per day per person. The size is determined by the original
file. Files must be packed in zxzip or pkzip-
archive The zxzip archive must be converted to the format
hobeta. It is highly recommended to place the file file_id.diz in the archive witha brief description of the files contained in the archive.
If the archive is very large, or it seems too small to you
echoing, then before posting, contact the Moderator via nemail.
It should be remembered that in ZXNet there is a special echo window
preference for UUE posting, and if the information does not have a direct
relation to the topic of ZX.GRAFIX, it is better to place it there.
You can send messages to Echo with requests to draw something.
> III. Violations.
Uncensored expressions and expressions that can be interpreted
as such. Mat in the conference is strictly prohibited - as in
Russian and English, as well as replacement with symbols.
Expressions that could be construed as personal insults
to anyone; This means not only open swearing, but also
insults based on nationality, religion or any other
sign.
Initiating and maintaining various squabbles and squabbles.
Message not on the topic of the conference (offtopic).
Disrespectful remarks about the ZX Spectrum and its
creator.
Propaganda or insult to a particular method of depiction
work in rough form; assessment of one or another method is allowed
by type:
...that's good.
...but this is bad because...
All arguments must be substantiated.
An unfounded, impartial assessment of someone as
artist.Unauthorized moderation.
Discussion of the actions of the moderator and commoderators, disputes with them in
conferences.
Overquoting (more than 60% of quotes).
Personal correspondence in the echo area.
Deliberate placement in an echo that is distorted or deliberately false
information.
Comparing computers of different designs or architectures
by type: x - suck, y - rules. (the same applies to graphic
work, both one and different platforms).
A meaningless message.
Using foreign languages where you can easily use them
use Russian.
> IV. Punishments.
Minor violations are punishable by warning [ * ],
more serious ones - with a remark [ + ], very serious ones are punished
by disabling [! ].
[ * ] + [ * ] + [ * ] = [ + ]
[ + ] + [ + ] + [ + ] = [ ! ]
The moderator is in charge of recording punishments. If the same violation
punished simultaneously by the moderator and the commoderator - taken into account
more strict.
The moderator, like the co-moderator, is always right. Well, let's just say
almost always. The latter does not detract from his right to punish. If not
If you agree, please contact me via netmail. It is noticed that the moderator is quite
too lazy to star anyone. So shouts like “Prokhorov -
sax!" will not be punished in reasonable quantities. :)
The moderator has episodes of bad mood. I advise you notto fall under the “hot hand”.
> V. Technical requirements.
Letters sent to this conference must:
Comply with the requirements for registration
echo messages in ZXNet.
Do not contain contaminated elements of the template or target line
and origin (except for those cases when it is necessary for the meaning
messages).

longer than 3.
It is not recommended to send messages to the conference size
which exceeds 15 kilobytes.
> VI. Miscellaneous.
Declaring any topic offtopic is solely
the prerogative of the moderator.
The moderator considers himself to have the right to disconnect any subscriber without
explanations of reasons.
The moderator believes that the fact of writing a letter to this con
preference means that the author is familiar with and agrees with the rules
conferences.
Changes and additions are made to the rules only by a moderator on
based on your own decision, or at the request of the participants
conferences; At the same time, he intends to maintain the general direction
of this conference. Proposals for changes to the rules may be
sent by moderator or commoderator only via netmail.
> VII. Stylistics, spelling and punctuation.
This is just a wish - respect the rights of other participantsconferences in terms of the readability of your messages, often this is directly
associated with the literacy of their writing; it is known that a bad example
contagious, including in this area. If you don't know how
this or that word is written, replace it with a synonym, do not torture our
eyes with words like “I sang” or “it’s being done.” Respect our
great and mighty!..
Coolhacker messages like "(00| --А(К3Я") are possible only if
they refer to ASCII-ART.
