Centipede was founded as a Democratic Network. Which means,
there really shouldnt be any moderators or rules. However, moderators
in Centipede are needed to generate messages if a topic echo is dying.
A moderator is considered to be one of the top in their field. This is
why they have that position, voluntarily, to help out in case a particular
echo is fading in message volume.
Now, what does this have to do with the so called rules, or guidelines
about message writing, or participation within the net? And the difference
between Democracy and Monarchy? Well... There are no rules or guidelines
in Centipede on anything at all. What is expected of everyone; however,
is that each person, no matter who, is expected to moderate themselves.
If someone strays from the echo's topic, no one from administration shall
step in and give the person a warning or the boot. If the other users
find this person to be of an annoyance, those users can ban together and
deal with the suspect, or as mature adults, they can phase out the
suspect's messages all together, and ignore the person.
In effect, there are no rules. Moderate yourself, and if there are any
problems, you can as an adult, talk it out in the personal echo without
making offtopic messages, or act in such a manner as to aggravate everyone, and
finally be kicked off the net, NOT by me or the moderators, but by the OTHER
users.
Centipede is provided for you, to participate with other people.
