- 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.
