       The COOKING Echo Rules   
       Updated 14 February 2022   
      
       Moderator: Mike Powell (1:2320/105)   
      
       This is the National Cooking Echo.  It is a non-region specific   
       conference dedicated to all persons interested in cooking and/or food   
       related topics.  The National Cooking Echo may not be gated without the   
       moderator's permission.   
      
       The sister echo to COOKING is HOME_COOKING.  HOME_COOKING has no   
       limitations on the amount of recipes posted at a single time unlike   
       COOKING.   
      
       1.  Topics may be broad but the common theme shall remain cooking. This   
            may include recipes, appliances, utensils, cookbooks, food history,   
            et cetera.  The discussion of the benefits of herbs for medicinal   
            purposes is off-topic as are the benefits or recipes of any illegal   
            or controlled substances.  Discussion of brewing and distilling   
            alcohol is not allowed.  Discussion of consumption of alcohol for   
            which the primary purpose is other than intoxication is specifically   
            permitted.   
      
       2.  Avoid excessive quoting.  Try to quote just enough of the message so   
            the person you are responding to understands the reply.  Try to   
            change the subject line when it no longer applies to the message.   
      
       3.  The number of recipes per message should be limited to one or two   
            short recipes such that the message body is of a reasonable size.   
            The inclusion of recipes, whether or not related to the topic of   
            the message body, is not mandatory but encouraged.  Please make an   
            effort to properly attribute quotations or other creative content   
            to their original or at least an intermediate source.   
      
       4.  DON'T get personal!  Personal attacks (flames) and profanity are   
            unwelcome in this conference and will not be tolerated.   
      
       5.  Political discussion will be tolerated only if there is a direct   
            and narrow connection between it and the food-related subject.   
            The moderators reserve the right to end any discussion if it   
            becomes overly political.  The moderators would rather not have   
            to do that so please use your best judgement in this matter.   
      
       6.  No religion, theology, doctrine, or biblical references are to be   
            discussed or debated.  Religious taglines are allowed if they   
            reference food or cooking.  No racial, ethnic or religious   
            slurs will be tolerated.  Headers and taglines, save for the   
            exception above, are subject to the same rules as the message body.   
      
       7.  The official language of the echo is English.  Please do not post   
            messages, recipes, or anything else in any other language without   
            a proper translation into English as part of the same message.  You   
            may post a message in your native language as long as an English   
            translation accompanies the native post in the same message.   
      
       8.  ONLY the moderators will address off-topic traffic or any other   
            violation of decorum or these rules.   
      
       9.  Handles and/or aliases allowed if they are a normal part of your   
            BBSing.  However, you must post your real first and last name at   
            the end of the body of your message if it does not appear in   
            the header.  Maintain only one presence on this echo meaning if   
            you post with multiple names from multiple BBS accounts, make   
            sure to sign your posts as noted above.   
      
       10.  As stated in rule 7, the only language of the echo is English.   
            However, there are many foreign words which are common in cooking   
            terminology.  For this reason, occasional and limited use of the   
            extended character set (i.e. high ASCII) is allowed in messages and   
            recipes ONLY in appropriate context, e.g. foreign words.  Degree   
            symbols and currency signs are frowned upon because of the lack   
            of a standard translation by readers used by many members.  High   
            ASCII fractions are not allowed because some BBS software   
            transforms them into whole numbers.  It is recommended you post   
            using CP850 if you must use high ASCII.   
      
            The use of the extended character set (ASCII codes 127 and above),   
            the control characters (ASCII codes 31 and below), or ANSI escape   
            code sequences for artistic purposes is NOT allowed in messages or   
            signature blocks.   
      
       11. The Cooking Echo is a plain text echo.  HTML coded text, other   
            "rich text" codes, inserted pictures, and UTF-8 encoded text   
            are not allowed.  Please post using CP437 or CP850.   
      
       12. NO advertisements of any kind (including BBS ads) allowed, with the   
            exception of ONE advertisement of new cooking-related software is   
            allowed. You may NEVER advertise ANYTHING to sell in the echo.   
      
       13. The total number of messages per day posted by any single member   
            should be limited to 20.  If you wish to post mass quantities of   
            recipes, please use the RECIPES echo for this.   
      
       14. This echo does not recognize any local or regional echomail policies   
            such as EP1.  This echo originates in Zone 1 and follows Zone 1   
            policies concerning the "echolist".   
      
       15. Any change in moderators will be done by the current moderators.   
      
       16. All official moderation messages will contain wording that   
            distinguishes them from ordinary traffic and will be from   
            "Moderator".   
      
       17. The moderators may, at their sole discretion, appoint temporary   
            assistant Moderators whose action within the echo only shall   
            carry the full weight of official moderation.   
      
       18. Any traffic concerning Fidonet matters, such as alleged "echo   
           hijackings", complaints about other echoes and their moderators,   
           or any traffic construed as such by the moderators is OFF-TOPIC.   
           Please take such discussion to netmail or another appropriate echo.   
      
       19. These rules are subject to change at any time.  The moderators   
            will give timely notice of such changes if possible; their   
            word is the final authority and is not subject to question.   
      
       20. These rules will be posted on the 1st and 15th of each month and   
            when needed.   
      
       21. No discussion of moderation is to be done in the Echo.  Any   
            discussion of moderation should be directed to the   
            moderators via netmail (preferred) or email.   
      
       Thank you for participating in the echo!
