  • FDECHO Echo Rules

    From Moderator@1:3634/12 to All on Sun Oct 1 00:00:04 2017

    |Conference rules for the FDECHO echo: rev. 09 Sep 17 |Posting Frequency: 1st of the month.
    -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

    1. This echo is devoted to discussion about the FrontDoor FTN mailer.

    2. Moderating handled by the echo Moderator, Joaquim Homrighausen
    (2:20/4609).

    3. Handles/aliases ARE NOT permitted.

    4. English is considered the primary language of this echo.

    5. DO NOT post any offensive language or statements - NO PROFANITY.

    6. Keep all your messages on topic. If someone else posts an offtopic
    message, send netmail to the individual, to the moderator, or
    simply ignore it. Responses in the echo to offtopic messages are
    never justified.

    What is typically off-topic:
    * Anything not-related to FrontDoor :).
    * Test messages, BBS ads, and new system connection messages.

    7. Keep your posting concise. Quote as required to establish context,
    but keep it within reason. Origin, seenby and similar overhead
    lines should never be quoted. The reason is it adds money for
    (bigger mail packets) those getting this echo on a Long Distance
    basis.

    8. It's fine to express disagreement with an on-topic statement, but
    insults, attacks, name-calling and the like are not tolerated.
    Basically NO FLAMES or personal attacks.

    9. Failure to comply on a regular basis with these rules will result
    in the system being disconnected from the echo feed.

    You might adjust your service so that it wont post rules again if the last message already is the rules message.

    That's a great idea -- so many dead echoes appear live because of bot postings. It'd be a lot easier to figure out which are really dead without the regular rules postings.

    Fortunately, with the revival of FD, this echo really can't be considered dead anymore. :)
