   EMERGCOM Echo Rules (18 Aug 2018)   
   10 Jun 20 18:22:36   
   
   TZUTC: -0400   
   MSGID: 8.fido-emergcom@1:3634/12 23469334   
   PID: Synchronet 3.18a-Linux  May 23 2020 GCC    
   TID: SBBSecho 3.11-Linux r3.173 May 23 2020 GCC 7.5.0   
   CHRS: ASCII 1   
   NOTE: FSEditor.js v1.104   
   ster communications. Discussion of   
       strengths and weaknesses of various modes will not be considered off   
       topic so long as the discussion is friendly and sticks to facts and   
       carefully considered opinions.   
      
    5. Echo participants who cannot follow these simple rules will be   
       warned once via fidonet netmail. IF that fails he/she will be   
       warned in the echo. This moderator prefers to handle such warnings   
       via netmail however. IF a public warning is warranted because   
       netmail doesn't work then I'll post to the offending thread and ask   
       that it be taken elsewhere or remain topical. To keep moderation out   
       of the public echo, the moderator asks that a poster warned via   
       netmail respond to the message indicating that it was received.   
      
       Upon a second occurrence the operator of the system where you read   
       this echo will be asked to curtail your access. IF the offending   
       party is a sysop his/her feed will be contacted. sysops hosting   
       posters who warrant moderator attention will be contacted via   
       fidonet netmail and advised. If a sysop does not offer users netmail   
       access we ask that he/she notify the offending users of our   
       communication. Upon a second offense the moderator will see to   
       getting the user's access cut. we want you to continue to   
       participate, and we would really rather not be in the business of   
       policing fidonet traffic. Please note that most moderator postings   
       to the echo will be clearly identified. Otherwise the moderator   
       will participate in the echo using his real name.   
      
    6. NO gating of this echo outside fidonet without express moderator   
       approval.   
      
    7. Important for sysops: Check your configuration. Posts from you or   
       your users should show a valid FIdonet address in the header or   
       origin line. Both would be nice, but one place is mandatory! Any   
       poster who has access should be able to automatically reply via   
       netmail to a post in the echo. This helps keep off topic chatter off   
       echoes, as well as enables the moderators to deal with undesirable   
       conditions in the echo. This one isn't negotiable, no gray areas.   
      
    8. Your moderator has a zero tolerance policy for spam. Anyone   
       providing a gate or other automated posting facility from an   
       internet listserv or usenet forum should endeavor to block all   
       postings which are not relevant to the stated purpose of the echo.   
       IF this cannot be done reliably the system operator providing such a   
       gateway will be warned once. Upon a second occurrence the moderator   
       will endeavor to institute a feed cut. Anyone wishing to provide   
       such a gateway should first contact the moderator before instituting   
       such a gateway. Your moderator suggests you monitor such a listserv   
       or forum for a sufficient period of time to assure yourself that   
       there will be no need for moderator action resulting from such a   
       gateway.   
      
    9. The moderator will appoint additional moderators as he sees the need   
       and subject to their willingness to serve in that capacity. Leave   
       moderating to the moderator and duly appointed co-moderators. Take   
       rules debates and discussions to netmail or email, not in the echo.
