The GRASSROOTS Echo rules will be posted monthly.
PrideNet's GRASSROOTS Echo rules Ver1.0 - 03/03/93
The GRASSROOTS echo is an open political echo and is not fantasy
oriented. GRASSROOTS is for discussion of human rights and political
issues as they relate to LesBiGay folks.
The GRASSROOTS echo is open to all that have an interest in these
issues. This includes behavioral specialists and counselors.
The purpose of the echo is to be supportive and informative. Any
group or BBS that wishes to advertise events or conferences that
may be of interest to all may do so. They may post the phone
numbers for the principle contacts for these functions.
A few of the basic rules:
The GRASSROOTS echo is not a fantasy oriented echo, and messages
relating to such are not permitted. What is needed is
constructive input and positive support. Bashing or flaming
of any individual is not acceptable behavior and will not
be tolerated. Aliases are encouraged.
1. Foul or obscene language belongs on the street, NOT
in this echo.
2. Challenge the issue, not the person.
3. Preaching is best kept to the pulpit and bible specific
echos but not in this echo, this includes any discussions
related to any religious philosophies or practices.
4. If you disagree with the lifestyle, take your arguments
to a more appropriate echo.
5. Please keep to the topic of the echo. Any communication
not on-topic will be considered annoying. Discussion of
sexual activities, posting of personal ads and/or proposals
for sexual activity are not topics for discussion. When
in doubt, please netmail the moderator BEFORE posting.
6. Aliases (or handles) are permitted and encouraged according
to the policy of the local Sysop. However, if problems
arise with postings, that privilege in this echo will be
withdrawn.
7. Private messages are NOT allowed in Grassroots!
8. Crossposting any messages or any part of any message that
has been in GRASSROOTS to any other message area is allowed
ONLY if the message is posted in its original form, e.g. -
if all of the "to, from, adress, etc" info is intact.
9. Messages from the moderator concerning enforcement of the
rules are NOT considered off topic, however, neither are
they topics for general discussion by anyone other than the
moderator and the person being addressed.
10. EchoMail is a priviledge, not a "right". Play nice
11. In the event of the moderator's "disappearance" from the
echo for a period of more than one month or inability to
perform the functions of a moderator, and no succeeding
moderator has been appointed, an election will be held
in the echo for a new moderator. Such election shall be
accomplished by the simplest means possible. The ZEC may
assign a temporary moderator to handle the election
and/or interim during election. Nominations shall be made
within 20 days
12. That's it, except that if someone comes up with a new an
improved way to aggravate all, the moderator reserves the
right to make a rule to fit the occasion.
