* Fidonet FL SINGLES & FRIENDS Echo Rules *
These rules will be posted periodically.
<As near as the first and fifteenth of each month as possible>
Ladies and Gentlemen,
This area is for the use of ALL Adults living in or near Florida <or who
wish to maintain and/or generate contacts within Florida> to communicate
ideas, make friends, meet, plan parties, and generally have a good time.
While being single is implied it isn't a requirement. Visitors Welcome!
One of the Hallmarks of the FL SINGLES & FRIENDS group is that we enjoy
Helping Others! If you need help with something within our area, please
don't hesitate to ask! Anything from "how to use an offline reader" to
which are the best "dart players' hangouts in Orlando"<G>. Florida is one
of the Major Tourist Areas of the United States; you'll find some of this
state's Best Representatives on this board! Above all, please remember:
T H I S I S N O T A D A T I N G S E R V I C E !
This Echo is open to All Adults. Participation in this echo means that
you agree to abide by the following guidelines.
The rules are as follows:
1. Do nothing that violates any local, state, or federal laws. Especially
those laws regarding the use/abuse of Copyrighted Material; whether it
is electronic, magnetic, written, audio, software or any other form or
medium.
2. Use of abusive language toward any individual is prohibited. Please
challenge the "issue" not the person. Good Manners should always be
your guide! If there is a problem with a message posted, report it
to the Moderator(s) _Privately_ and it will be dealt with! Normally
this won't be necessary as the Moderator(s) will usually already have
dealt with an offensive message poster but, if it's not covered by
these Rules and you feel it should be, report it to the Moderator(s)
and it may be included in the next update of rules if warranted!
3. The Moderator(s) will be the final authority when disputes between
individuals occur.
3a. The Moderator's interpretation of the Rules is the only interpretation
that matters. Dispute it at your peril!<G>
4. Aliases are permitted according to the policy of each SysOp;
however, real names must be provided upon request of the Moderator(s)
or your access to this echo may be denied. Your privacy will be
respected as long as you act within the Echo Rules.
5. Discrimination will not be tolerated. Please be sure to review what
you write in an effort to avoid offending others on this board.
6. Advertisements are prohibited! There are echoes set aside for that.
Please use them.
7. We expect no participant to be "excessively annoying," even as
we expect every participant not to be "easily annoyed." Again, let
Good Manners be your guide! If you wouldn't like something said to you
or about you, don't say those things to/about others on this echo!
(Arguing with the Moderator about Rules Interpretation is considered
to be "excessively annoying" and may lead to expulsion from the echo).
8. Please remember that this is a Public Message area, accessible to all
ages. While this area is intended for Adults Only, it is also accessible
to many adolescents. (Please Note: Accessible means that Minors may
be reading this echo. It does NOT grant posting privileges to teens).
Excessively explicit material should not be posted on this Public echo,
please keep this in mind.
9. This area is intended for Public Messages Only! If you are involved in
a Private dispute Please keep it Private! Your "dirty laundry" has no
place on this board!
10. Fidonet Policy prohibits sending Encrypted messages via Echomail.
This area is intended for Public Messages Only! If you need to send a
Private message, please use E-Mail, Netmail or snail mail.
11. The use of "High ASCII" characters is permitted in a limited usage,
primarily in taglines. Sysops are requested to permit this usage but
are not required. If you want it turned "on" for your board, please
request it of your sysop and refer him/her to this copy of the Echo
Rules. If your sysop doesn't want to permit it there's nothing that
can be done about it.
12. Infractions of these rules can lead to dismissal from this area.
It is my understanding that many Sysops maintain a file area
containing the Echo Rules for Conferences which they carry to
facilitate posting in those areas. Please ask your sysops to
carry this file for FL SINGLES & FRIENDS.
Everyone is encouraged to have their name and info included in the
Memberlist for FL SINGLES & FRIENDS; again, not required but
encouraged<G>.
