Rules for FidoNet's OLDCARS Echo
*** Revised 3-18-96 ***
The following are the rules for the OLDCARS FIDO-NET echo conference.
This conference is carried on the FIDO-NET backbone and is moderated by Gerry
Calhoun at 1:2004/200. These rules will be subject to change if a change seems
needed or is requested. Enforcement of the rules will be handled in the
echo and/or via net-mail. Repeated violations of the rules may be considered
grounds for the offending node to have its link to this conference cut.
Rule #1:
Please try to 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.
Rule #2:
The topic here is OLD CARS. What makes a car an old car? For the
purpose of this echo, a pre 1975 car in general is qualifed to be
considered an OLD CAR. But this is a very flexible rule as limited
production cars of newer vintage may be considered on topic. If in
doubt, ask the Moderator.
Rule #3:
No unsolicited commerical sales announcements please. This echo is
carried by sysops who foot the bills out of their own pockets for the
most part. If sommebody asks for a source of a CAR-RELATED item, feel
free to offer advice on where to look for something, or to mention that
you have what they are looking for. If you have something which you
feel may be of interest to somebody here and are NOT in the business
of selling that item and it is OLD CAR-related, you may post about
it here.
Rule #4:
No unsolicited BBS ads here. If you know of a system which has a
program or file that somebody has asked about, feel free to post the
name, phone number and location of the system, but no messages saying
"Call this system now" type of thing.
Rule #5:
Keep the message-quoting to a minimum, please. 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".
Rule #6:
Keep the personal attacks to a minimum, please. Everybody has seen
messages posted by people who strike you as complete fools, but
you do not have to call a person names in order to give an answer or
correct him/her on a point. Hold the flames to a mimimum and try to
keep this a fun place.
These are all the rules for now. If any other points come up in the future,
they will be addressed and added to this list if necessary. If there are
any questions or comments about these rules, address them to me,
Gerry Calhoun, via net-mail ONLY at 1:2004/200.
