NEWSCHAT ECHO RULES
This is an echo for sysops and users to read the weekly Fidonet News online
and to comment, chat and discuss what's happening in Fidonet as read about in
FidoNews. Please try NOT to address messages to EDITOR since I can't guarantee
that Tom Jennings will see them. Durned if I even know if he reads this echo.
<sigh> Send all mail for him directly to him via netmail. However, messages
addressed to EDITOR in here will be assumed to be to ALL.
Lastest Revision: 5/5/92
---+ new rule since last posted
---+C changed rule since last posted
The rules are simple.
1. No submissions of articles for FidoNews will be accepted. Please
make sure and send your submissions directly to 1:1/1.
2. Though the news messages indicate that the news is issuing from
1:1/1, please understand that they are coming from my system. If
you have a problem, please netmail me directly and not 1:1/1.
3. Play nice. This means CHALLENGE the issue, not the message poster.
If you have a problem, please netmail the moderator.
4. Foul language belongs in the street not here. Remember, people of
all ages will be reading this conference. Please keep it clean.
5. Spelling doesn't count! But check it anyway. You don't want to be
embarrassed. Do you? <hehehehehe>
6. This conference MAY NOT be ported to the BIX echomail system,
GroupMail or to any other network's echomail system without
permission of the Moderator.
7. There is only one Moderator. If you feel someone has broken the
rules please NETMAIL the Moderator and don't take it upon yourself
to admonish anyone.
8. Messages from the moderator concerning enforcement of the rules
are not considered offtopic, however, neither are they topics for
general discussion by anyone other than the moderator and the person
being addressed.
9. No advertising. You can advertise to your heart's content in the
Fidonews itself and it will get here.
10. Discussions in this echo on ANY subject should be limited to one
or two weeks ... long enough to determine if you'd like to continue
in a more appropriate echo, netmail or drop the talk altogether but
no longer. Let's not get bogged down on any one topic since Fidonews
contains so many of interest.
---+
11. Participation in this echo indicates acceptance of these rules!
The SysOp of each board carrying this echo is granted the right to
Edit or Kill messages which, in their opinion, are inappropriate and
unacceptable on their system. Exception to this rule is the killing or
editing of any messages received prior to feeding them to linked
systems. This is NOT permitted. Please use common sense when
interpreting this rule and, if in doubt, netmail queries will be
promptly answered.
That's it, except that if someone comes up with a new and
improved way to aggravate all and sundry I reserve the right
to make a rule to fit the occasion.
