       This echo, FIDO_SYSOP, is for FidoNet sysops only. Fidonet SysOps are    
   defin   
       for the purpose of these rules as any operator of a node number which    
   appea   
       in the International Fidonet nodelist as issued weekly by the ZC's of    
   their   
       respective zones.   
      
       Anything of interest to Fidonet SysOps is on topic in FIDO_SYSOP. The    
   topic   
       of discussion are not subject to moderator interpretation or restriction,   
       and moderator warnings and/or feed cuts may only be issued for actions    
   such   
       as flaming and personal attacks, or excessively annoying behavior, such as   
       vulgar or lewd language, spamming the echo, illegal activities in the    
   echo,   
       or any other case specifically mentioned in these rules.   
      
        1. A Point may participate in this Conference if operated by a FidoNet   
        nodelisted SysOp. If the bossnode is not operated by the posting SysOp,   
        the SysOp's FidoNet nodelisted address must be included as part of the   
        signature in the text of the message. Any Fidonet nodelisted SysOp may   
        also participate in this Conference from another Fidonet nodelisted   
        SysOp's BBS system, provided their real name and nodelisted address   
        appears in the signature of the text of the message. In such a case,   
        the SysOp operating the BBS that the second SysOp is posting from must   
        restrict the access of the echo to other Fidonet nodelisted SysOps   
        *only*. The forging of messages to make them appear to be posted by   
        another Fidonet nodelisted SysOp may, upon confirmation by the moderator   
        of the message's non-authenticity from the second SysOp identified in   
        the signature line, be interpreted by the moderator as excessively   
        annoying behavior.   
      
        2. This Conference must not be gated OUTSIDE of FidoNet without specific   
        permission from the Conference moderator. No such arrangement may be   
        made by the moderator if it could result in distribution of this   
        Conference to persons who are not SysOps of systems listed in the FidoNet   
        nodelist. This is an ECHOMAIL Conference. It may not be gated into any   
        alternate technology which would make it impossible or impractical to   
        enforce the stated distribution restrictions.   
      
        3. There is a "real name only" restriction in place for this   
        conference. A Fidonet member may post a message using an alias, but   
        such messages must contain within them, the real name of the SysOp in   
        the signature line.   
      
        4. The moderator term is 24 months and during month 23, an election   
        must be held for the Moderator of FIDO_SYSOP.  Upon completion of this   
        election, the former moderator must turn the password for the elist   
        robot over to the new moderator and yield the position.   At any   
        time during his or her term, a moderator may appoint a co-moderator.   
        If a moderator is unable to complete his or her term, and has not yet   
        appointed a co-moderator, he or she may name a replacement to finish   
        the term, revealing the elist password to the replacement moderator.   
        Should a moderator disappear from the conference without leaving a   
        successor or co-moderator, a replacement moderator may be chosen   
        by the echo participants to serve until the next regular election.   
        Although the Elist Keeper may not be bound by echo conference rules,   
        he is specifically requested to facilitate access to the FIDO_SYSOP   
        conference listing for such a replacement moderator in the event that   
        the elist password is not available or the previous moderator refuses   
        to yield the moderator position.   
      
        5. Any moderator of FIDO_SYSOP, present or future, *MAY NOT* make   
        *ANY CHANGES* to these rules without the approval of the echo's   
        participants through a public vote in the Conference itself. If a   
        vote on a rule change is deadlocked, the status quo will be preserved.   
      
        6. Personal attacks, flames, and name calling are not welcome in   
        this conference. If you cannot discuss an issue without resorting   
        to name calling or personal attacks, find another echo to discuss   
        your issues in. If the moderator feels the attack or flame was   
        excessively out of line, or the SysOp involved continues to resort   
        to attacks after repeated warnings, a feed cut to the SysOp   
        involved can be issued with no further warnings to the offending   
        system.   
      
        7. A feed cut or a "vacation" from the echo may not be issued without   
        at least three warnings to the offender being given by the moderator,   
        whether such warnings are done via netmail or publically in the   
        conference itself. A "vacation" may not last longer than four weeks,   
        and a feed cut may not last longer than three months. There is no limit   
        on the number of "vacations" or feed cuts that may be issued by the   
        moderator, provided that such "vacations" or feed cuts are consistant   
        with the Conference rules.   
      
        8. Deliberate retransmittal of the Conference to another system   
        which is not run by a FidoNet SysOp or providing access to a SysOp   
        who has been "cut" from the Conference is grounds for a feed cut   
        from the Conference, with no right of appeal, subject to the terms   
        of rule #7. This rule may be interpreted to include a point of a   
        system wherein the poster of the message is not properly identified   
        as a Fidonet nodelisted SysOp, according to the methods defined in   
        rules #1 and #3.   
      
        9. This Conference is the collective property of all FidoNet Sysops   
        and not that of the moderator. Should the moderator feel it   
        necessary to make significant changes in distribution or rules of   
        the Conference, such changes should be done in COOPERATION with the   
        FidoNet Sysops participating.   
        UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES is the Conference restriction to FidoNet Sysops   
        to be removed.   
      
        10. In the interest of communication amongst *all* Fidonet SysOps,   
        this echo specifically is meant for participation in English only. While   
        other languages may be allowed at certain times by the moderator, such   
        messages should not be solely in those other languages, and an attempt to   
        communicate in English with the other SysOps participating in the   
        Conference must be made by all participants. The prolonged posting of   
        messages consisting solely of languages other than English, or messages   
        using codepages such as Cryllic which cannot be readily understood by   
        those participating in English may be deemed excessively annoying    
   behavior   
        by the moderator.   
      
        11. Commercial posts are strictly prohibited in the FIDO_SYSOP    
   Conference.   
      
        12. Echopol1 (EP1) is not in use in this echo and will not be honored    
   here
