OFFICIAL RULES - NBA_ECHO
Moderator, Damian Stamm, 1:273/406
This echo is based on the National Basketball Association (NBA), and all
discussion should revolve around the game of basketball and the NBA.
We're here to have fun. If you're not a basketball fan, you're in the wrong
echo. Therefore, lets all try to have fun and keep things in as light of a
modd as possible. No flaming, personal attacks, or foul language is
permitted.
Discussion of the NCAA is considered off topic, except in regards to the
draft. Discussion of how a player is doing and how its affecting his position
in the draft is ok. Discussion of the tournament is not. This rule is in
effect as well for the CBA and USBL. I expect that this kind of talk will be
kept to a minimum until February. In March it may pick up, however, the talk
*MUST* be about the DRAFT, *NOT* the Tournament. When the season ends, NCAA
discussion will be given more flexibility since the draft will be the main
topic of conversation.
Any discussion on betting is STRICTLY PROHIBITED.
Test messages are sent out on a regular basis by nodes who are just connecting
to the echo. While these are annoying, they are generally just a new sysop
finding his/her way around. Only the moderator may respond to these messages.
You are expected to know the rules. The rules are posted at a MINIMUM of once
a month. Any new rules or rules changes will be outlined with one line of
*'s at the beginning of the changes and at the end. You are expected to pay
attention and to follow the new rules as you are expected to follow the other
rules. These lines will also include additions to the suspension list.
This echo may not be gated in any way to any other net without the moderators
permission.
No advertisements for other echoes or any type of commercial material is
permitted on this echo. Advertisements of other echoes and nets MAY be
permitted, but require moderator approval. Such messages in regards to
commercial material may result in a cut of feed on first offense, depending
on the severity of the situation. This will be dealt VERY seriously, since
Fidonet is an ameteur network.
Direct postings of published material, i.e. magazines and newspapers, is
STRICTLY PROHIBITED.
No signatures/tags should exceed 4 lines, and must be less than %25 of the
message.
Taglines must be clean. This is a family echo where all are invited. Any
taglines deemed crude by the moderator will deem a warning.
Please let the Moderator do the moderating. If a user is suspended, it is the
Moderators job to handle the situation and handle the suspended user.
No fantasy league talk is permitted whatsoever.
No basketball card talk is permitted whatsoever.
To talk Fantasy Basketball, ask your sysop to pick up FANTASY_SPORTS
To talk College Basketball, ask your sysop to pick up SPORTS
To talk about basketball cards, ask your sysop to pick up BB_CARDS
Other sports echoes include: ML_BASEBALL, NFL, HOCKEY, SPORTS
These echoes are available from his/her hub.
If a person is found guilty of violating these rules, depending on the
severity, the person will be subjected to the following disciplinary actions :
A) 50 Echobucks to be donated to the Michael Jordan wing of the NBA's AA
(Airballer's anonymous) club.
B) 100 Echobuck fine and forced to watch a Minnesota Timberwolve game.
C) 200 Echobucks to the JSSA fund, one Minnesota Timberwolve game, and
mandated to watch Michael Jordan shoot 36 holes of golf (this may be
declared unconstitutional under the "cruel and unusual punishment"
clause)
More serious punishments may result in :
A) 30, 60, or 90 day suspension.
B) 6 month suspension
C) 1 year suspension
D) Total link cut from system for 6 months to a year.
The following user has been suspended :
Scott Halloway, 1:312/74, until January 1, 1996.
Other than that, I'll judge as I go along. :-D
