SASKATCHEWAN SCOUTER ECHO RULES: REV-93/05/23
This is a Saskatchwawan Wide Scouting Echo Conference.It is open to
all SCOUTS AND SCOUTERS from around the province, and to anyone
wishing more information about the VENTURER, ROVER, BOY SCOUT, WOLF
CUBS, BEAVERS, SPARKS, BROWNIE, GIRL GUIDE, or OTHER SCOUTING
programs for youth in Saskatchewan.
The Saskatchewan SCOUTER Echo is distributed using a computer based
Echo Mail method of telecommunication mail processing. This is
done using computers with modems connected via the FidoNet Echo
Mail Backbone in Saskatchewan.
To link into this no-cost conference, ask your SYSOP to request
NET140.SCOUTER. There are NO restrictions placed on this
conference other than the stated rules. It is open to all who wish
to participate, or have an interest in a Scouting program for
youth.
For the purposes of this echo conference:
A SCOUT is any PERSON between the age of 05 & 22 who is registered
with SCOUTS CANADA or GIRL GUIDES CANADA. A Scout may be a BOY or a
GIRL enrolled in one of the many Scouting programs that allows
youths as members.
A SCOUTER is any ADULT (male or female) over the age of 18 who is
registered as an ADULT with the Scouting or Guiding program.
*** PURPOSE ***
This Echo's basic purpose is to provide a Provincial
Telecommunication link for people who are interested in the
Scouting program and to provide a device for Scouts and Scouters
from across the province to exchange ideas and discuss Scouting
programs and adventures. Please keep all discussions and messages
on this echo relating to SCOUTS and SCOUTING topics.
*** POLICY & RULES ***
Basically, I expect each user of this echo to "act" like a Scout
should, and to subscribe to and follow the Scout Law.
In other words you should be:
TRUSTWORTHY OBEDIENT
LOYAL CHEERFUL
HELPFUL THRIFTY
FRIENDLY BRAVE
COURTEOUS CLEAN
KIND REVERENT
*** MESSAGES ***
Messages will NOT, at any time, contain any profanity or abusive
language! If you feel you must FLAME someone for whatever reason,
do it VIA Net Mail, NOT in the conference. If you have a question
about Echo Policy, it should be directed to the Echo Moderator.
Messages MUST NOT contain non-ASCII characters,ANSI graphics, or
8-bit ASCII characters. This goes for ORIGIN LINES as well. The use
of excessive capitalization and punctuation (ie: Multiple question
marks & exclamation marks) is considered "shouting". If you wish to
use capitals for emphasis or for other special purposes, you should
limit their use and be consistant. A "free" use of capitals may
give dignity to some messages, but a free use of them without
logical purpose nullifies their purpose and may be rude. When in
doubt, don't capitalize or over punctuate. Topics discussed on this
Conference should pertain to one of the Scouting programs, its
functions, trips, events, people, or policies. (Scout Stuff)
*** ADVERTISING ***
NO commercials, advertising, promoting, or selling of merchandise
is permitted on the conference. If you happen to know of a Scout
Related book, magazine, or program that other users of this echo
may like, you may post it once, as long as you are not the person
selling the object. (You can only tell about it).
*** MODERATING ***
All moderating of the echo is to be done by the Moderator. NO
OTHER USER is authorized to repremand, admonish, rebuke, or
otherwise comment to any person posting a message that may be
off-topic, or out of line. It is one of the Moderator's duties
to do this. If you feel there is a problem that should be
dealt with, contact the Moderator via Net-Mail or at one of the
addresses below, and he or she will determine the outcome and
proper course to be taken.
The Saskatchewan SCOUTER Echo rules will be posted at regular
intervals, and are subject to change. The Moderator welcomes input
on rules and guidelines, and tries not to take the hard line
approach in moderating. However, discussion of changes should be
discussed via netmail, or via regular mail, and NOT on the Echo.
Your reasons for change will be listened to, and you may see that
change, or your suggestions in the next issuance of the
SASKATCHEWAN SCOUTER ECHO RULES.
*** SYSOP INFORMATION ***
To recieve the SCOUTER ECHO request NET140.SCOUTER from your Echo
Hub.
