In accordance with current practice and adopted echomail procedure
within Fidonet, the following rules have been established for the
Real Estate Echo. The following rules will be posted periodically
in the 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. Only real names are allowed in this conference. Handles, nick-
names, etc. are not permitted. This is an echo dedicated to
serious topics and such handles as "Asian Warrior", "Satan's Right
Hand", and "The Avenger" have no place here. Short forms of your
first name such as Bob, Al, Joe, etc. are not considered nick-
names.
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 Fidonet BBS which wants to carry it,
and we hope they all will. However, at this time it may not be
passed out of Fidonet without the explicit permission of the
Moderator. Also, it should only be passed to or from your net
echomail hub unless he asks you to pass it on to another bbs in
your net.
5. Sysops (system operators) from throughout the country spend their own
hard-earned $$$ to make these echos available for your pleasure and
education. Therefore, advertisements of any kind, and in particular,
*COMMERCIAL_ADVERTISEMENTS* are not in good taste and are *TABOO*.
It is totally unfair to ask these sysops to pay your advertising
costs, and your cooperation here is most certainly expected.
6. 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.
