|    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.               The echo tag emergcom is copyright 2007 by Richard Webb.               Please address comments or questions to the moderator at 1:3634/12.               Richard Webb : moderator emeritus        Mark Lewis : moderator              [/quote]                     EMERGCOM Moderator                     )\/(ark       --- SBBSecho 3.11-Linux        * Origin: SouthEast Star Mail HUB - SESTAR (1:3634/12)       rned 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.
