- Only people designated by the Sysop as "AIDES" may perform the following
- functions:
-
- => Visit the hidden Aide> room.
- => Delete messages
- => Delete empty rooms
- => Edit a room
- => Kill a room
- => Move messages
- => Set the date from Remote
-
- Such changes are accounted for by the Citadel system and are recorded under
- the aide's name in the Aide> room for scrutiny by other aides and Sysops. If
- a person is found to be abusing their aide privileges, such privilege may be
- removed at the discretion of the Sysop.
-
- Procedures are as follows:
-
- TO DELETE MESSAGES:
- (1) Hit <P>ause during type-out of the message to be deleted.
- (2) Hit <D>elete to continue.
- (3) The message will print out again for confirmation.
- (4) If that is indeed the message to be deleted, type "Y" at the confirm
- prompt.
- Your name and a copy of the of the deleted message will be automatically
- logged in Aide>.
-
- TO DELETE EMPTY ROOMS:
- The ".Aide Delete" command will eliminate all empty rooms in the system.
- This will be logged under your name in Aide>.
-
- TO EDIT A ROOM:
- The ".Aide Edit" command will allow you to rename the room you are in,
- or make it public/private. The change will be logged under your name in
- Aide>.
- During editing, if you designate a room as being PRIVATE, Citadel will
- then ask if you want to cause all non-aide users of that room to forget that
- room, or not. If you answer "Y", then only aides will know about that room --
- other users may, of course, access that room again if they know the name (via
- .goto). If you answer "N", then everyone who knew about that room before will
- continue to know about that room after.
-
- TO MOVE A MESSAGE:
- The ".Aide Insert" command will insert the last message you deleted into
- the room you are currently in. This will be logged under your name in Aide>.
-
- TO KILL A ROOM:
- The ".Aide Kill" command will delete the room you are in, regardless of
- contents. This will be logged under your name in Aide>.
-
- NOTE: For obvious reasons, these commands cannot be used to modify Aide>
- itself. "Deleting" a message in Aide> will >not< remove it from Aide>, but
- >will< make it "most recently deleted" for purposes of inserting the message
- elsewhere.
-
- TO SET THE DATE:
- The ".Aide Set Date" command allows the remote Aide to reset the system
- date. The system will print out current date and then ask for confirmation
- that you want to put in a new date. If you answer in the affirmative, Citadel
- will then obtain a new date as specified by the configuration file (i.e., from
- aide or system clock).
