SEARCHLIGHT Echomail Conference Rules
-------------------------------------
The SEARCHLIGHT conference is an echomail-techonology conference for
discussion of Searchlight BBS by Frank LaRosa, related door programs,
and utilities. The conference was started in March of 1989 by Glen
Johnson of 1:269/101 and currently originates from 1:2604/269@Fidonet.
The moderator is Wayne Robinson@1:2604/269 and the co-moderator is
Robert Hessler@1:2604/202.
SEARCHLIGHT may not be ported to, or distributed in any form other than
standard echomail technology without the express consent of the
moderators. No exceptions. This is to ensure that Searchlight systems
can receive the conference in a format in which they can process it.
SEARCHLIGHT is a Fidonet conference and all gates into the echo must be
responsible for maintaining the observance of Fidonet policies by the
participants in their respective networks.
SEARCHLIGHT is currently distributed via the "Fidonet Backbone", and
should be available from your regular echomail feed. If it isn't,
contact Wayne Robinson@1:2604/269@Fidonet for a feed.
SEARCHLIGHT is currently gated into SL_Net, FamilyNet, and Rime. If you
are unable to obtain a link in one of those networks, please contact the
appropriate coordinator.
The rules for conference participation are as follows:
1. Excessively annoying behavior will not be tolerated.
2. No profanity.
3. Off-topic messages are not permitted.
4. Handles or aliases are not permitted. Conference participants must
use their real first and last names.
5. SEARCHLIGHT may be made available to BBS callers, however, the sysop
of the BBS is responsible for the traffic leaving his system, and
entering the SEARCHLIGHT conference.
6. Conference participants are expected to behave in a courteous manner
to his/her fellow participants, and act responsibly. Flaming,
intentionally insulting, or otherwise unnecessarily annoying other
conference participants is grounds for removal from the conference.
7. Be patient with new users. We were all new once.
8. Questions regarding distribution of shareware utilities and programs
for SEARCHLIGHT via the Software Distribution System (SDS) should be
forwarded via private network mail to Bill Walton@1:255/1. The
Software Distribution System and the Shareware Distribution Network
(SDN) have their own echo. If you wish to discuss SDS/SDN policy,
discuss it in the SDS/SDN echo and not here. For the closest SDS/SDN
system to your system, contact your network coordinator. There is also
a regional SDS/SDN coordinator each area of North America if your
network coordinator can not help you.
9. Messages which contain high ASCII, ANSI, or the IBM only character set
are by tradition not allowed in Fidonet, and are inconsiderate of users
of non-IBM systems. Please only use the standard character set when
posting messages in this echo.
10.No participant may receive this echo via more than one network at
the same time. This can cause dupes which costs money to all involved.
Those who choose to violate the rules of the conference will receive
one warning from the moderator. Subsequent transgressions will result
in removal from the conference.
And lastly, like Policy 4 says, "Thou shalt not be excessively annoying,
likewise, thou shalt not be too easily annoyed". The conference moderator
will decide what qualifies as annoying behavior in the conference, so if
you are offended by something someone said to you, complain to the
moderator via netmail. Don't escalate the situation in the conference.
Remember, it costs many people a lot of money to move echomail, so try to
be brief, polite, and topical. Everyone will enjoy the conference more!
