    What it's for:  A place for moderators to exchange tips, tricks, and   
    information regarding moderation of Fidonet echoes and other forums.   
      
    Any and all discussion regarding the management and moderation of a   
    Fidonet conference is welcome.   
      
    Users and point operators must request permission to post in this   
    echomail conference, either via routed netmail, or via the sysop   
    hosting the user or point system.   
      
    Permission will be granted to recognized moderators of Fidonet echomail   
    conferences who are not themselves the operator of a system listed in   
    the Fidonet nodelist.   
      
    The conference may be made available as read only to all other points   
    and users.   
      
    Moderators who are not Fidonet system operators may send email to   
    mark.lewis@ftn.wpusa.dynip.com with a subject line indicating that the   
    message is requesting write privileges in this conference. Parties   
    requesting access via email must state which listed Fidonet system they   
    will be using to post in the conference, or a point address derived   
    from a listed Fidonet system. When permission to post is approved it   
    will be posted in the echo, and routed netmail sent to the sysop   
    hosting the requester. IF an individual requesting posting privileges   
    is not known to the moderator his/her request will be conveyed to the   
    echo for the purpose of seeking additional information from echo   
    participants.   
      
    The usual rules of Fidonet echomail apply. These include the use of   
    real names, proper displaying of address and other information on   
    messages originating from your system, etc.   
      
    Gateways to/from other networks must be approved by users of the   
    conference. IF approved any gateway must work in both directions. The   
    operator of any approved gate is responsible for all traffic entering   
    the echo through that gateway.   
      
    Moderation issues will be handled by Fidonet netmail only.   
      
    Other than that, come on in, pull up a chair!  Thanks for participating   
    in the Fidonet echomods conference.
