HAM Conference Guide Lines
--------------------------
1. The topic.
Topics should relate to radio in general, but try to keep it
as close to Amateur (HAM) radio as possible. There is no topic
about radio that is off-topic. Be forewarned, No-Code vs Code is
a viable topic for discussion here. (CB radio discussion is not
a taboo here. However, this doesn't mean we'll be using 10-codes
and CB 'good-buddy jargon' to communicate in the HAM echo.)
2. Decorum.
NO blatant profanity, flames, insults or slander. Regardless
of your actual circumstances, please act as a mature,
responsible adult while participating in HAM.
3. Disputes with others.
Any disputes with other echo users will be in a gentlemanly
or ladylike manner.
Please leave the moderating to the moderator. If you have a
dispute with the moderator, see section 8.
Those conference users who do not have access to Email or
netmail should advise a moderator of their situation, here.
I'll do my best to provide you with a means of communication
to resolve any question or situation you may have.
4a. Edit your Quotes!
Keep your quoting to the minimum necessary to establish the
context of your reply. Certainly, don't quote more than you
originate.
Do not include the other persons - hello, goodbye, "In a
message to" lines, offline mail reader signatures, taglines,
mail tosser PID lines or origin lines in your quote unless
you are specifically replying to them.
4b. Misc message do's and don'ts.
English is the official language of the HAM echo. For those
whose 'first' language is English, make sure you check your
spelling and correct your grammar. Let's set an example for
those whose 'first' language isn't English.
Having to agree with what anyone else says is not a requirement
for this conference. Disagree with opinions if you must, but do
not attack the person.
This is not the place to display advertisements for any
other echo or your BBS. I advertise this echo in ECHO-ADS
and expect you to do the same.
Taglines; Do not use any controversial taglines in the HAM
conference.
5. Conference access.
The HAM conference is NOT bound by FidoNet! It's open to any
network and system that wishes to carry it.
I have plans to incorporate a 'mailing list' type of internet
access to this echo. Anyone wishing to participate via an
internet mailing list, please forward your intentions to me via
netmail or to my email address.
You must have permission from the HAM echo moderator to post
here if you're participating via the internet mailing list.
Gating or cross-posting of the HAM conference to any other
conference and/or networks will not be permitted without explicit
permission from the moderator(s).
6. Use your real name.
All messages posted in the HAM echo will contain the REAL
name of the poster. Alias' are preferred in the body of the
message, but may be used in the FROM: field with permission
of the moderator. Messages originating on/from the internet
mailing list will have the posters email address in the
header of the message. The post must be signed by the
poster and the maillist must show the gateway being used to
post in this echo.
7. Commercial Use.
Commercial use of an echo in Fidonet is frowned upon.
Secondly, sysops are paying for the transport of this
conference out of their own pockets, and don't want to foot
the bill for commercial advertising.
However, store owners or businessmen MAY respond to want-ads
from people looking for specific products. If someone asks
"where can I get a blah-blah-blah?" feel free to respond if
you have a blah-blah-blah in stock.
You may post an occasional "press release" type of message if
you have a _new_ or unique product that is of interest to the
conference participants.
Advice, comments, and recommendations about commercial
products in response to a question are always appropriate.
8. Fidonet Zone 2 Sysops and users, take note;
It has come to the attention of this moderator that an echomail
policy, specifically EchoPol 1 and hereafter referred to as EP1,
is in force in Zone 2.
Be advised that this echomail policy is not binding in Zone 1,
nor this echo. Zone 2 Sysops, by posting in this echo hereby forfeit
any rights of protection provided under the auspices of EP1.
9. Loopholes.
These rules are a living document and I reserve the right to
change them as I deem necessary.
Unless specifically excepted, discussion of the rules of this
conference is off topic. These are the rules. Read them.
Learn them. Live them. Love them.
However, I am open to suggestion for any change which a user
may wish to suggest. I may not implement your ideas or rules
change, but don't let fear hold you back.
All disputes with the Moderator(s) WILL be handled in private
Netmail or Email and not in the echo. My method of handling
those who post a dispute with the moderator will be to cut their
access to this echo and then we'll talk. Don't make me do it.
Any input (via netmail or E-mail) is always welcome.
The addresses are listed at the beginning of this document.
