ECHO RULES Last updated 02.JAN.97
GAMING ::: The International Personal Computer Gaming Conference
o The first rule of any echo is: LEAVE MODERATING TO THE MODERATOR.
o GAMING is an echo focused toward personal computer game enthusiasts,
originating in Fidonet Zone 1, English is the official language.
o "Handles" or aliases are allowed but this privilege may be revoked
at the discretion of the moderator when an echo rule is violated.
o TOPICs of this echo are pc game play; gaming hints, computer game-
related problems, pc game assistance, and discussion (in general)
relating to personal computer gaming.
o Do not reply to OFFtopic messages. Answers tend to perpetuate
themselves and lead discussion threads astray.
o Messages involving: software piracy, solicitation of cracks or codes
for copyright protection removal and circumvention, advocating or
indicating criminal activity, or blatent obscenities .. will not be
tolerated and the writer subject to *removal without warning*.
o Personal attacks (FLAMES) are unacceptable. Do not respond to a
personal attack IN THE CONFERENCE. Attack the issue, not the writer.
o GAMING is G-rated. Foul, vulgar, or profane language in any form
is unacceptable and will not be tolerated in the echo. And do not
quote profanity when replying to another's message.
o Limit QUOTING to those portions of a message pertinent to your
reply. Keep quoting short and to the point. Delete quoted tag,
tear, and origin lines when you reply.
o High ASCII characters are permitted; only in the BODY of a message.
Note: this area is for messaging so fancy artwork and signatures are
out, however charts/diagrams for hint purposes will be permitted.
Message "signatures" should not exceed two lines.
o Advertisements of bbs's, networks, or services are not permitted.
ANNOUNCEMENTS of new pc games; information or products relating
to them, are permitted on a *limited* basis.
o Buying, selling, swapping games (or anything else) is not allowed.
o Not all people spell or type well and to others English is NOT their
native language. This does not invalidate their message. Do not
make derogatory comments on another's grammar or spelling although
_friendly_ advice meant to assist will be acceptable.
o Since every instance of a problem arising in this forum cannot be
anticipated in order to formulate written guidelines, a ruling by
by the moderator of record can expand or supercede these written
rules or a previous ruling (should there be any conflict).

*> NOTICE ==== NOTICE ==== NOTICE ==== NOTICE ==== NOTICE <*

o VIOLATORS of these rules will normally receive *ONE WARNING*,
in the echo or via netmail. A 2nd violation can bring a final
warning via NetMail in care of your sysop. For an additional
offense your access may be cut at the moderator's discretion.

Appeals will be accepted by the moderators via NETMAIL only.

REBUTTALS to moderator messages, when posted IN THE ECHO, may
result in having access *cut* without further discussion.
