LORD Echo Rules Last Revised: 18 Nov 1997
<--------------------------------------------------------------------------->
This is the "Legend of the Red Dragon" echo, tag name LORD. By receiving
and participating in this echo, you agree to be bound by the rules of this
echo and the decisions of the moderators, who are..
Moderator: Fred Speir FidoNet: 1:385/44
Internet: fspeir@sunnet.net
Note: New or changed information will be indicated by a "|" symbol in the
left-hand margin.
Each SysOp receiving this conference is responsible for any and all
traffic into this forum that originates from/through his/her system.
If you chose to use this echo, then please conduct yourself according to
these rules. If these rules do not suit you, then please feel free to take
advantage of other echos or nets.
If you either violate the echo rules or choose to confront either another
user or the moderator, then expect to loose access quickly. Participation
in any echo is a privilege and NOT a right. FidoNet is not a democracy by
nature. You do NOT have freedom of speech in this echo. Do NOT ask for
same.
The moderator is an appointed, not elected position, with the method of
appointment at the discretion of the moderator.
These rules will be subject to change at the sole discretion of the
MODERATOR. Enforcement of the rules may be handled both in the echo or via
NETMAIL (or both). This again, is at the moderator's discretion.
Certain violations WILL cause your access to be terminated immediately with
no warning. These include asking for registration codes; hacked codes,
stolen codes. This pertains to ANY shareware software, INCLUDING IGMs!
---> IF YOU WISH TO yell LAW SUIT, DO IT IN NETMAIL ONLY!
This CAN get your access to the echo cut immediately!
Rule #1:
Please keep your language suitable to all ages. Remember this message
base is open to all age groups and some may take offense to foul
language. Substitution of other characters, such as an asterisk, in
a guise to hide foul language is NOT allowable either. Quoting back
foul language shall be dealt with even more harshly than the original
poster. This is a G rated echo, even though the LORD DOOR GAME can be
"R" rated.
Rule #2:
The topic here is LORD. LORD, LORD II, LORD's IGMs, "cheat" codes, and
the installation software. Although the topic might vary please attempt
to keep it on the topic of LORD & LORD II.
Rule #3:
If someone asks for advice on a IGM set up or is looking for a
particular IGM, feel free to offer advice or to mention that you
have what they are looking for. But see rule # 4.
Rule #4:
BBS notices of files available for FREQ are limited to four post
per month. The only exception to this is the announcement of a new
release and rule #3 above. If you are giving addresses and phone
numbers for FREQ, please be sure they are correct and that any magic
name quoted is also working by all systems listed as having the door
available.
Rule #5:
Message Formats:
1. Keep the message-quoting to a minimum! Most BBS's are run out of the
pockets of private sysops, and nobody wants to pay for (or see) a
20-line message quoted in full to have somebody else say, "I Agree."
2. The basic conventions of American capitalization will be used. In
other words:
1. Do not use "ALL CAPS." (It is considered SHOUTING and is quite
annoying.)
2. Do not use "UNevEN LEttERinG." (It is annoying to read. But
most important, some "text to speech" programs are unable to
translate the words correctly.
3. NO HANDLES ALLOWED! Real Names Only! If the BBS Software from
which you are posting does not allow you to post your real name in the
Header of the message, you must post your real name at the end of the
message.
4. NO ANSI OR HIGH ASCII ALLOWED! (It garbles some people's messages!)
5. NO UUENCODED Messages/Files will be put in this Echo.
6. NO PGP-SIGNED Messages will be put in this Echo. (This isn't really
"encrypting" messages, but it is a incredible waste of bandwidth!)
7. DO NOT re-post messages in this base and direct same to another user
or participant of this echo.
8. Signature blocks are not allowed. The signature lines should not ever
exceed four lines in total. Unless you are giving more information for
interested parties to directly contact you via a voice line, a FAX line
or an E-Mail address.
9. Taglines may NOT be multiple or offensive in nature.
10. Do not quote origin, tag, or signature lines.
Rule #6:
PERSONAL attacks are NEVER allowed against either a participant in this
echo *or* the Moderator. This *can* constitute grounds for your
IMMEDIATE removal from the echo. Religious and/or ethnic derogatory
remarks of any nature are never permitted. Try to keep this a fun place
where we can all learn and ask for help when we need it.
Rule #7:
This echo area is often not understood by BBS users who post here
in error. Please do not respond. This only encourages unproductive
conversations. Replying to an off topic message is also OFF TOPIC.
Rule #8:
Any LORD or IGM programming discussions are totally allowable and
encouraged between authors and aspiring authors, including mutual
discussions and help on programming in any language with regard to
IGM's and/or support to registered users.
Rule #9:
Encrypted, encoded or rotated messages (including chain messages) are
forbidden.
Rule #10:
BBS ads for promotion of a particular BBS *or* Network are expressly
prohibited. The only exception to this is if you run a FREE BBS and
provide a toll free 800 number. Posts in order to obtain more players
for a certain game on one particular BBS is also forbidden.
Rule #11:
FidoNet's LORD may not be gated into any other Network without
the express, written permission of the Moderator. The LORD echo
is the property of Fred Speir and is allowed to be distributed by
FidoNet via normal FidoNet normal distribution channels. Distribution
rights or partial distribution rights are revocable at any time either
in entirety or in part.
Rule #12:
All rules violations are to be addressed ONLY by the Moderator. If you
receive a Moderator warning of some sort, your rebuttal or response to
the Moderator may only be made via NETMAIL. No debating or complaining
about Moderator rules or rulings is ever allowed in the echo. Violation
of same *may* cause your IMMEDIATE removal from this echo with no
further warning.
Copies of these RULES can be FReq'd from 1:385/44 with the MAGIC name of
LORDRULE.
If there are any questions or comments about these rules, address them to
me, Fred Speir via NETMAIL ONLY at 1:385/44. Discussion of the echo rules
in the echo is off topic.
Fred Speir
Moderator, LORD
