In accordance with current practice and proposed echomail policy
within Fidonet, the following rules have been established for this
Echo. The following rules will be posted periodically in this echo.
The purpose of the rules is quite simply to make sure the messages
conform to Fidonet standards, keep the threads on topic, and to
insure orderly distribution without causing duplicate message loops.
1. Handles, are permitted to a point. Those who wish to use a handle
should contact the moderator by NetMail with one message giving their
real name or by one message in the echo if NetMail is not available to
them.
2. Off topic messages should be ignored. The Moderator or his
Co-Moderator will respond to them directly. Answers by others
just tend to perpetuate themselves and lead the threads astray.
3. Personal attacks (commonly called flames) are not permitted under
any circumstances. In addition to keeping the messages on topic,
we intend to keep things friendly. It is absolutely permitted
and encouraged to disagree. However, it must be done in a
friendly manner. It is particularly necessary for the profes-
sionals among us to remember that this echo is for *everyone*.
A condescending manner is to be avoided at all costs. Please try
to remember how much you had to learn at one time.
4. This echo is available to any BBS which wants to carry it, and we
hope they all will.
5. That's all the rules folks. They are really just common sense
and courtesy. Please live somewhere near if not within them and
all will be well. However, we must enforce them if they are
violated.
