Purpose of the FidoNet WILDCAT! Sysops Support Conference
(Echo)
****************************************************************
LAST REVISED: May 18, 2000
-------------
The WILDCAT! Sysops Support Conference is a gathering place for
all WILDCAT! Sysops whether they run Fido/Echomail or not.
This is a forum to ask questions and seek answers to
operational support problems. This covers both WILDCAT! and
directly related 3rd party products.
At this time, the Conference may be made available to all
callers, whether they are sysops or not. The Moderator retains
the right to close the Conference to Sysops only at any time.
Sysops should try to monitor messages published here by their
callers for topic appropriateness whenever possible.
Rules for the WILDCAT! Sysops Support Conference
************************************************
1. No BBS advertisements are welcome in the Conference.
A simple "Hello, I'm new here" will do. BBS phone numbers
and *any* other extraneous information in messages or
signatures (other than origin lines) constitutes advertising
and is not permitted.
2. Product advertisements *are* welcome under the following
conditions only:
a. Keep advertisement to *ONE PAGE or LESS* (one page
means
30 - 40 lines) INCLUDING tearlines and useless data such
as offline reader signature lines, etc.
b. Advertisements should be written to convey *quiet
professionalism* of both advertiser and audience.
c. Product advertised must be DIRECTLY usable by, with, or
for WILDCAT! BBS software, but not exclusively so.
d. Price of product may be included in advertisement.
e. Either a FidoNet node number, phone number, or mail

should be provided for contact.
f. The Moderator will have the final decision as to what
products and/or services are appropriate to advertise.
3. *NO FLAMING WILL BE TOLERATED* on *any* person, vendor,
product, or service participating in this conference.
4. Please keep all messages ON-TOPIC. Any post that does not
deal with an actual operational problem/question or an answer
to such, is considered off topic.
If you don't know what's allowed, *ASK* first or re-read this
Rules file.
The Moderator has the final decision as to what is on or off
topic.
5. Excessive quoting is not permitted. When responding to a
message, please QUOTE *ONLY* THE TEXT YOU WISH TO
RESPOND TO,
NOTHING MORE. Please *do not* include personal
hello/goodbye/"In a message to" lines, offline mail reader

etc. in the quoted response. Please keep all messages
reasonably short and to the point. Be considerate of others.
