Joan(Spunk1111) and I(Donovan) worked on this together.
To anyone who reads or posts in this newsgroup, please reply to this
with a YES or NO. We all use the FAQ's as our "sort-of by-laws." If we
know what the general consensus is on this issue, maybe we can get Krogg
and Colin to add them into the FAQ's. We all want this issue to end so
we can spend time posting and making ASCII Art.

WORKING TOGETHER IS THE ONLY WAY THIS CAN BE RESOLVED! NO ONE SHOULD BE
ATTACKING ANYONE'S REASONS FOR A NO VOTE! WE NEED TO BE OBJECTIVE TO
EVERYONE'S FEELINGS!

1. If an ASCII ART pic has a signature on it, leave it on and post it.
2. If an ASCII ART pic doesn't have a signature on it, post it anyway
AND indicate that you didn't make it.
3) Feel free to repost unaccredited ASCII art with a proper original
signature (please be accurate). The repost ought not to be taken
personally as we all know that ASCII art often loses proper credits.
Responses to the repost are not necessary. You may opt to add the
proper signature to your personal files. Of course, no one will check
up on you!
****If you vote NO, please add your reasons, so we can narrow this down
to what you dislike about this proposal.*****

I am not particularly creative in designing ascii art, I'm one of those lurkers who periodically reads thru this list and if there is something I see which I like, I admit to having copied it -- and some I've used in my signature files... I have NEVER removed the artist's initials and/or signature when I have done so -- to remove the original artists's signature and present the artwork as one's own is plagiarism, pure and simple. Occasionally, I will get a private post from someone who has seen a certain piece of ascii art in my signature, praising ME for the work -- I always make it a point to respond to such posts, correcting their misperception that _I_ was the artist who came up with the design, and I make sure to name the artist, if known, and steer the poster to this newsgroup if they are interested in seeing more of the artist's work...

I *love* it. Sandy
So far the vote on this is
6 Yes
1 No
1 vote not casted either way.
The No was:
Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought that a FAQ's reason to exist
was to answer some of the Frequently Asked Questions that people might
come up with. A FAQ is supposed to be informative not restrictive:
please let's not make our FAQ some kind of 'Tables of the Law'
dictating people what they should or shouldn't do.
Alt.ascii-art is an unmoderated newsgroup, after all.
I reply to this no in this manner:
I agree with what you are saying and I think the most frequently asked
question is what are we going to do about signatures...I mean half of
the posts are about this instead of pics. So, we are not writing a law,
but more of a guideline for people who want to know what to do about
signatures and pics they find in our newsgroup.
The first time I came here I was so excited about how cool ASCII Art was
that I wanted to know if it was OK to copy some of the stuff I saw
there. Well, the FAQ's were vague on this. I also didn't know it was
wrong to take out the initials, because I thought they took away from
the pic. But with time I learned. It would have been nice to know these
things right of way when reading the FAQ's instead of reading 100
messages of emotional arguing and name calling in a place that always
seemed to be fun and non-threatening.
PLEASE REPLY TO THESE THOUGHTS IF YOU FEEL I AM WRONG IN UNDERSTANDING
YOUR MESSAGES.
PLEASE CONTINUE TO VOTE FOR ANOTHER WEEK.
We will end this on April 9th and be done with it or continue our
discussions. Keep in mind, I'm doing this in an attempt to make things
here more fun. And less frustrating for everyone.
Donovan
Joan(Spunk1111) and I(Donovan) worked on this together.
To anyone who reads or posts in this newsgroup, please reply to this
with a YES or NO. We all use the FAQ's as our "sort-of by-laws." If we
know what the general consensus is on this issue, maybe we can get Krogg
and Colin to add them into the FAQ's. We all want this issue to end so
we can spend time posting and making ASCII Art.
Note:
WORKING TOGETHER IS THE ONLY WAY THIS CAN BE RESOLVED! NO ONE SHOULD BE
ATTACKING ANYONE'S REASONS FOR A NO VOTE! WE NEED TO BE OBJECTIVE TO
EVERYONE'S FEELINGS!
1. If an ASCII ART pic has a signature on it, leave it on and post it.
2. If an ASCII ART pic doesn't have a signature on it, post it anyway
AND indicate that you didn't make it.
3. Feel free to repost unaccredited ASCII art with a proper original
signature (please be accurate). The repost ought not to be taken
personally as we all know that ASCII art often loses proper credits.
Responses to the repost are not necessary. You may opt to add the
proper signature to your personal files. Of course, no one will check
up on you!

It's brief and gets to the point. I would think people would be more inclined to read the ASCII TCs then an entire FAQ page. But then that's just my opinion. Nice job, joris!! - Dana http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Pointe/6928/ -----== Posted via Deja News, The Leader in Internet Discussion ==----- http://www.dejanews.com/ Now offering spam-free web-based newsreading
Voting ends April 9th....
SO far results are
10 YES
1 NO
4 Replied without a vote.
I forget that some can't read past posts, so I'll post this every few
days until were done.
Joan(Spunk1111) and I(Donovan) worked on this together.
To anyone who reads or posts in this newsgroup, please reply to this
with a YES or NO. We all use the FAQ's as our "sort-of by-laws." If we
know what the general consensus is on this issue, maybe we can get Krogg
and Colin to add them into the FAQ's. We all want this issue to end so
we can spend time posting and making ASCII Art.
Note:
WORKING TOGETHER IS THE ONLY WAY THIS CAN BE RESOLVED! NO ONE SHOULD BE
ATTACKING ANYONE'S REASONS FOR A NO VOTE! WE NEED TO BE OBJECTIVE TO
EVERYONE'S FEELINGS!

Somebody (he knows who he is) did exactly that to me... I think the points 1 to 3 are nice netiquette rules, but I also think that Joris' comment that they don't belong in an FAQ makes sense. I guess I'm somewhere in between "yes" and "no", leaning slightly towards "no". Besides, aren't there some words to that effect already in the FAQ? *goes to take a look at the FAQ* looking..... looking.... yes! here it is: point 9, "Can I copy this ASCII picture?"...

This has been the most accurate count I can get at this time. Many are
not giving a vote either way, but are giving some thoughts on this....I
won't count a vote on attitudes toward the postings, we need a yes or no
with your comments. Sorry but specualtion is not a fair thing.

1. If an ASCII ART pic has a signature on it, leave it on and post it.
2. If an ASCII ART pic doesn't have a signature on it, post it anyway
AND indicate that you didn't make it.
3) Feel free to repost unaccredited ASCII art with a proper original
signature (please be accurate). The repost ought not to be taken
personally as we all know that ASCII art often loses proper credits.
Responses to the repost are not necessary. You may opt to add the
proper signature to your personal files. Of course, no one will check
up on you!
****If you vote NO, please add your reasons, so we can narrow this down
to what you dislike about this proposal.*****

For what it's worth, my vote (even thought I thought it was clearly implied when I answered this post before) is NO to the above and YES to Joris' 10 commandments (altered slightly by Colin). THey are to the point, and easy to read because they are in picture form: . -------The ASCII ART FAQ Ten Commandments.--------- \\\\`/// / _ _| 1/ Thou shalt read the FAQ. (\'('\/') 2/ Thou shalt not remove the ______/( >(__ Signature from any ASCII ART. /`- \ \_=__| `\ 3/ Thou shalt not claim the Ownership / /__( _____\ _____ of someone else's ASCII ART. /_ \.____ ," "."

NOTE: If you hit the reply button, add an "e" to the "freent"; its absense is to stop the torment of automatic mailers. -- llizard aka ejm cq5...@freenet.toronto.on.ca ,^ www.geocities.com/SoHo/Studios/9334/ ===%^^^^^^^^^^^^ ASCII-art and Javascript ASCII-animations " "
This is the final tally. 19 Yes 2 No So as soon as it is added to the FAQ's then we can point the new-comers to it once again on another issue. Thanks everyone for your participation and thoughts. It may not make everyone completely happy, but it seems to be what most of the people agree with. At any rate the issue can be done and resolved, so we can keep posting pics and not spend time fighting about them. *S* Peace and Love, Donovan 1.
