TID: PX/Win v3.0pr5 PX96-0466M2 MSGID: 1:135/392 77d6da46 TZUTC: -0400 MEMORIES’’ RULES Revised 1 August 2017 ’’’ FidoNet is a "Virtual Community" where we are all representative of the population. Each ECHO is like a neighborhood of the virtual community. The MEMORIES echo is _our_ neighborhood. Let's keep it a nice place to hang out. ’’’ This is the Memories Echo. It is a non region specific conference dedicated to all persons interested in nostalgia and trivia, with some related chatter on subjects of interest to seniors. It's a bit like the pot bellied stove in the old general store. Conversations usually start with reminiscing of something from the past, but seem to lead in many directions, which the Moderator generally tolerates so long as it's civilized conversation and doesn't violate any of the specific rules below. It's a group of fun to be around folks. Come on in. ’’’ The Moderator may appoint a successor, or call an election any time by posting an announcement in the echo. Such announcement shall define the rules of, time frame for, and the names of those responsible for monitoring and publishing the results of the election. In the event of the death or incapacity of the Moderator, the Co Moderator shall have all the rights ascribed to the Moderator. ’’’ This is a FidoNet Backbone Echo, and, as such, adheres to FidoNet regulations for echoes. ’’’ _’’’’ _’’’’ _’’’’ _’’’’ _’’’’ _’’’’ _’’’’ _’’’’ _ ’’’ This echo is dedicated to the loving MEMORIES of: Ronni Toth, its founder, and Kent Anderson, her successor moderator, and to Bill White who left us for personal reasons. May we keep the high standards they set for us. ’’’ _’’’’ _’’’’ _’’’’ _’’’’ _’’’’ _’’’’ _’’’’ _’’’’ _ ’’’ This echo is open to everyone who complies with the following rules: 1. Topics may be broad, but not stray too far from the purpose of the echo and that is to share germane conversation with those having a common interest in things past. Excessive chatter, if not related to times past, will be considered off topic. 2. DON'T get personal! Personal attacks (flames) and profanity are unnecessary and unwelcome in this echo. And keep it clean: This is a family echo. Risque remarks and off color taglines will cause a Moderator response. 3. Present day religion and politics, NO! 4. Only the Moderator will address off topic traffic. If a fellow participant tries to moderate you, just ignore them. If someone insults you, do not respond in kind: nothing hurts more than being ignored. If necessary, send e mail to a moderator. 5. NO private messages. 6. Handles or aliases allowed in part of your BBSing with the addition of your real name at the end of the message. 7. No test messages, nor advertisements of any kind (including BBS ads) allowed. 8. This conference may not be ported to any other network's mail system without the express written permission of the Moderator. Porting or gating the echo into the Internet or to any Usenet newsgroup is expressly forbidden. Note: The carrying of the echoes by an Internet site is all right, provided that any messages originating from that site, if not within this conference's rules, are subject to corrective action by the Moderator. 9. Overquoting: Remember to delete those parts of the message that don't relate to your reply. Leave just enough so that others can pick up on what's going on, or refresh their memories if they read the original post. NEVER, EVER requote signature, origin lines, addresses, nor taglines unless they are pertinent to what you're saying. 10. Underquoting: It is most distressing to see part of a message and a response, and have no idea as to what either of the messages relates. Do your quoting intelligently, and leave enough info to be certain that even a disinterested party will know what's going on. This faux pas is often related to, and could be mitigated by following: 11. Subject not related to the topic of the message. All too often a message that started on a particular subject takes another tack. Unless the poster replying changes the subject, the message bears no relation to its indicated topic. Please try to remember when replying to see that the subject matter and the subject are in agreement. 12. These guides are subject to change at any time. If you find a way to be annoying, we will make a rule to cover it. 13. These rules condense into four words:’ "Be Nice’’ Have Fun" Joe Mackey Huntington, WV Moderator joemackey108@comcast.net --- Platinum Xpress/Win/WINServer v3.0pr5 * Origin: Fidonet Since 1991 www.doccyber.org bbs.docsplace.org (1:135/392) SEEN-BY: 1/120 123 15/0 18/0 90/1 105/81 106/201 116/116 120/302 340 SEEN-BY: 120/616 123/0 10 25 115 126 131 160 180 200 525 755 124/5016 SEEN-BY: 129/305 135/300 366 371 379 382 383 384 385 388 390 391 392 SEEN-BY: 135/394 395 153/757 7715 154/10 30 40 50 700 203/0 218/700 SEEN-BY: 220/90 221/0 6 222/2 226/18 227/114 201 229/110 111 112 113 SEEN-BY: 229/206 317 400 424 426 428 452 470 664 700 240/1120 5832 SEEN-BY: 250/1 261/1466 266/512 275/1000 280/464 5003 282/1038 292/854 SEEN-BY: 299/6 300/4 301/1 317/3 320/219 322/757 341/66 234 342/200 SEEN-BY: 396/45 423/120 460/58 633/267 280 281 384 412 416 418 712/848 SEEN-BY: 712/1321 770/1 2320/105 2452/250 3634/0 12 15 24 27 50 56 SEEN-BY: 3634/57 5020/1042 PATH: 135/392 300 3634/12 154/10 280/464 633/280 229/426 |
