 M> Fidonews Echo

 M> Revised 03/20/05

 M> Section 1:  General Rules

 M> 1.  This echo is for the discussion of anything related to
 M> Fidonet, the posting of Fidonews by the Fidonews editor, and
 M> anything related to Fidonews.

 M> 2.  If you post here, you MUST post under your real name.
 M> If you don't and we find out, you will be asked to leave.

Not by you we won't

 M> 3.  When quoting of the message you are replying, quote
 M> enough to get the entire idea of the post across, but not
 M> all.  Posting two pages of quoted text for a one line reply
 M> is a waste of time for everybody.

How sad, too bad.

 M> 4.  Stay on topic.  The subject line is to help people
 M> follow a thread over a period of time.  If you make a right
 M> turn and go off on another subject without changing the
 M> subject line, it makes things hard on all of us trying to
 M> follow along.


It's all part of the plan


 M> 5.  Act like a reasonable person in your posts.  Tempers
 M> rise, toes get stepped on, etc.  People play hardball when
 M> it comes to defending their ideas.  Try to make allowances
 M> and things will go much smoother.  The moderator reserves
 M> the right to stop a thread to calm things down.

Ah stifling of free speech.

 M> 6.  Moderator rulings are final.  Wholesale discussion of
 M> such rulings is off topic and prohibited.  If you feel you
 M> have a legitimate axe to grind, either send netmail, or give
 M> the moderator YOUR netmail address and ask him to contact
 M> you outside the echo.

 M> 7.  Certain individuals may have or may possibly be banned
 M> from this echo for repeated violations and blatant disregard
 M> for the rules. Posters are not to post messages TO OR ABOUT
 M> those individuals by name in the echo, and should not reply
 M> to any of them who post here in defiance of a ban. If you
 M> see someone posting who is not to be here, notify the
 M> moderator via netmail or email.

Not to you we won't.

 M> Section 2:  Specific Rules

 M> 1.  Attacking any person because of their affiliation with a
 M> zone or country is prohibited. Attacking any country or
 M> person by posting obvious lies and innuendo is prohibited.
 M> Such issues can be broached in a manner that leads to a
 M> constructive discussion, but doing so merely to inflame the
 M> other posters and disrupt the normal operation of the echo
 M> will not be tolerated.

You repressive Z1 arsehole!

 M> 2.  Personal attacks on other posters are prohibited.  If
 M> you bring up something about a poster's family, their job,
 M> their religion, their national origin, or their race that
 M> does not have a direct bearing on the issue being discussed,
 M> you will be asked to leave.

Your mother smells of elderberries, your employer is a vicious arsehole, you
worship the anti-Christ, your country is the most hated in the world today, and
you are white trash. Did I miss anything?

 M> 3.  Discussing what occurs in other echos may be relevant
 M> news to the Fidonews echo.  However, carrying a discussion
 M> from another echo to Fidonews is frowned upon. If you are
 M> having problems with some other echo moderator that is
 M> between you and that other moderator and not appropriate for
 M> discussion here.

 M> 4. Racial slurs will not be tolerated whether in discussion
 M> or when used belligerently.  If a racial slur is used in the
 M> echo, the person who wrote it will be asked to leave
 M> immediately.

Nigger hater!

 M> 5. Moderator rulings are final.

 M> General Policy Statement:

 M> These rules are for the most part the same common sense
 M> rules you use when talking to somebody face to face.  When
 M> you get the urge to unload on somebody, stop to think if
 M> you would say the same thing to them if you were standing
 M> there face to face.  Most likely you would tone it down to
 M> avoid a fist fight.  Well, it works here, too!

 M> The moderators have opinions too, and will express them as
 M> individuals. We do our best not to let our personal feelings
 M> interfere with moderator duties, so keep that in mind before
 M> you make an accusation of the moderator playing favorites or
 M> other such nonsense.  We also make mistakes just like
 M> everybody else.

 M> FidoNet is a hobby network.  The people that provide Fido
 M> BBS services and provide the means to move these echo
 M> conferences do so on their own dime.  It is also a system
 M> based on the honor system.  For it to work and survive,
 M> everybody needs to be prepared to live by that idea.  If a
 M> moderator (not just here but in any echo) gives you a
 M> vacation, take it like an adult.  If you feel you've been
 M> wronged somehow, there are procedures in Fido to try to
 M> resolve your differences.

 M> Don't make life hard for the rest of the users by carrying
 M> on a vendetta against the moderator in the echo.



ROFL - isn't that what you and you band of arselickers have done of late?

 M>  I plan to follow Fido procedures to the best of my ability, and I
 M> expect others to do so as well.  I'm sure Stan agrees with
 M> those sentiments.

Stan? Stan who?


 M> Further rules will be added as needed, and current rules
 M> will be updated and modified as necessary.  Hopefully those
 M> rules above are more than enough.
