    Rules Content:   
    ========================================================================   
    POINTS ECHO RULES AND POLICIES   
    Revised Mar 26, 1998   
    English is the official echo language.   
    ========================================================================   
      
    ALL USERS WHO HAVE ACCESS TO THIS ECHO MUST READ THIS. BY POSTING   
    MESSAGES IN THE ECHO, YOU AGREE TO ACCEPT AND ABIDE BY THE RULES OF THIS   
    CONFERENCE AS HERE POSTED.   
      
    This echo is disignated only for POINTS and their BOSS Nodes.   
      
    This conference may be made available to responsible users, point nodes,   
    and full nodes (Boss nodes/SysOps). If traffic gets too heavy, it may   
    at some future date be restricted to points and full nodes only. This   
    is the POINTS echomail conference. This, along with many other echomail   
    conferences, is distributed worldwide, and *somebody* has to pay the   
    phone bill. Please keep this in mind when entering messages. Keep your   
    messages brief and to the point, and do not be excessive in QUOTING the   
    contents of other messages.   
      
    Description/Topicality...   
      
    All messages posted here must consist SOLELY of helpful & informative   
    material regarding POINTS and BOSSNODES. HELP for all topics concerning   
    POINT operation, is appropriate here including the support for specific   
    Point related software by their Authors. This is not a my point setup   
    and/or product is better than your point setup and/or product echo. Be   
    constructive and polite. Having said that, this echo has been a very   
    professionally handled echo, and is generally frequented by a very   
    respectable group. FidoNet is a police state so we must post rules, but   
    the flavor of this echo is simply to be informative and have fun.   
      
    Message handling and restrictions...   
      
    1. Messages must remain on the topic of this conference as described   
    above and in the current EchoList. Discussion of other topics is   
    grounds for the offending person or node to be banned from this   
    conference.   
    2. Foul or obscene language, personal invectives, and "widget wars"    
   will   
    not be tolerated.   
    3. Encrypted, encoded or rotated messages are forbidden.   
    4. Keep the quoted portions of your messages SHORT. Excessive quoting   
    adds to expense and overhead. Quote just enough to identify the   
    thread of the conversation for other users. Use enough of the   
    original material to be sure the thread IS identified.   
    5. Reasonable announcements for NEW or REVISED Point or related    
   software   
    by Authors is ok, as long as it does not become too frequent.   
    6. The use of "Visible ASCII Control Characters" ie: ASCII 31 and   
    below or "High ASCII Characters" ie: ASCII 129 and above is   
    prohibited in this echo.   
    7. Messages must originate with a real name, no alias names please.   
    8. Gating this Echo to the internet is forbidden without Moderator   
    permission. Garbage mail coming back into the Echo from the    
   internet   
    via your gate will result in a prompt and permanent severing of your   
    link.   
      
    Moderator Policy/Continuity...   
      
    1. All rules violations are to be addressed ONLY by the Moderator, or   
    Co-Moderator.   
    2. Questioning or discussion of Moderator policy in the open echo is   
    off topic, except that the Moderator reserves the right to post   
    special messages relating to such policy and rules from time to   
    time for the edification of all participants. The Moderator will   
    listen to and consider, any suggestion or criticism sent by   
    private hub or host-routed NetMail. If there is a subject re   
    Moderator policy that needs to be discussed it will be brought to   
    the echo by the Moderator.   
    3. The Moderator shall have the right:   
    a. To appoint Co-Moderator(s) or Alternate Moderator(s)   
    b. To set the rules for selection of his/her replacement at any   
    time.   
    c. The right to revise these rules at any time.   
    4. In the event of the incapacity or unwillingness of the Moderator to   
    continue to serve, then the Co-Moderator shall have all the rights   
    ascribed to the moderator.   
      
    In compliance with FidoNet Echo Policy, the conference rules will be   
    posted no less than once per month, and nothing in these rules will   
    supersede or replace any valid FidoNet rule or policy.
