CONFERENCE RULES
International Personal Computer Gaming Conference (GAMING)
UPDATED 12.SEP.95
o The first rule of any echo is: LEAVE THE MODERATING TO A MODERATOR.
o GAMING is an echo focused toward personal computer game enthusiasts.
Originating in Fidonet Zone 1, English is the conference language.
o The topics of this echo conference are pc game play; gaming hints,
computer game-related problems, pc game assistance, and information
in general relating to personal computer gaming.
o Discussions of video, arcade(coin-op), online(door), play-by-mail, or
role-playing GAMES as well as sound and video cards are NOT ALLOWED.
Live role-playing (RPG) is distinguished from computer RPG (CRPG), the
latter being a permitted topic. There are other conferences dedicated
to these subjects. When these topics relate to a pc game, *limited*
discussion will be permitted. Messages which do not deal primarily
with personal computer games are not permitted. Moderators are exempt
in order to perform their duties.
o Do not reply to OFFtopic messages. Answers to these tend to perpetuate
themselves and lead the threads astray.
o Messages involving software pirating activity, solicitation of cracks
or codes for copyright protection removal or circumvention, advocating
or indicating criminal activity, or blatent obscenities will not be
tolerated and the writer subject to *immediate removal* from the echo.
o Attacks of a personal nature (flames) are prohibited. Do not respond
to personal attacks IN THE ECHO. Attack the issue, not the writer.
o GAMING is G-rated. Foul or harsh language in any form whatsoever is
not acceptable and will not be tolerated. This means *ALL* foul or
harsh language and obscenities.
o Limit QUOTING to only those portions of a message pertinent to your
reply. Keep quoting short and to the point. Do not quote obscene
or vulgar language and delete quoted tag, tear and origin lines.
o "Handles" or aliases are allowed but this privilege may be revoked
at the discretion of a moderator when an echo rule(s) is violated.
o ADVERTISEMENTS of BBSs, networks, or services of any type are not
permitted. ANNOUNCEMENTS of new pc games, information or products
relating to them are permissable on a *frequency limited* basis.
o Buying, selling, swapping games (or anything else) is prohibited.
o High ASCII characters are permitted only in the body of a message.
Note: this area is for messaging so fancy artwork and signatures are
out, however charts/diagrams for hint purposes will be permitted.
Message "signatures" should not exceed two lines total.
o Not all people spell or type well. However, this does not invalidate
their message. Derogatory comments on another's grammar or spelling
is prohibited.
o Have fun, viewpoints can be widely diverse so keep it friendly and
clean. If a moderator feels from the tone of your messages over a
period of time that you are not enjoying yourself, or if you are
abusing your access to this echo, you will receive a warning.
NOTICE ==== NOTICE ==== NOTICE ==== NOTICE ==== NOTICE ==== NOTICE
VIOLATORS of the above rules will receive *ONE* warning in the
echo. A second violation will bring a FINAL WARNING via NetMail
in care of your sysop. For an additional offense, access may be
cut at a moderator's discretion. Appeals will be accepted by the
moderators via NetMail only. REBUTTALS to moderator messages, if
posted in the echo, may result in having access *cut immediately*
without further notice.

Jim Ray Moderator Fidonet: 1:388/14
