Boards (Objects Help)

The bulletin boards scattered around Arda are yet another form of communication that is available for you. Most boards are represented as a stationary object in the room; you can distinguish them by the text following their short description, like "[25 notes, 25 new]".

All boards share the same commands:

• post [<title>] - Post a new note. Default title is '<no title>'. To end a note, leave a period (.) on a line by itself.
• post [in <language>] <title> - Post a new note in a language you know; note that the syntax is very specific. A title is required in this case.
• read board - List all of the notes on the board; in many cases, just 'look board' will have the same effect.
• read <num> - Read a specified note.
• reply <num> [<tl>] - Reply to specified note. Default title is 'Re: old title'
• remove <num> - Remove a specified note (only if you posted it).
• edit <num> - Edit text of a specified note (only if you posted it).
• bsearch <text> - Search for notes containing given text.
• archives - List all archived notes for this board.
• archives <num> - View an archived note.
• bsearch [-archives] <text> - Search archives for given text.

At any time when '<num>' is a potential argument, specify the number of a current note, use 'current' to refer to the last note you manipulated, or 'next' to refer to the next note on the board.

As boards are a public form of communication, board notes are subject to 'help comm policy'. This applies to guild boards as well.
