      TID: Mystic BBS 1.12 A47       MSGID: 1:229/110 feaeb386       REPLY: 1:18/200@fidonet 61f745c5       TZUTC: -0400       Dear *Not* the moderator:              Here are the rules from the person who *is* the moderator, which you are       currently breaking:               SD> Moderator: Sean Dennis (1:18/200 or sysop@outpostbbs.net)        SD>         SD> Despite the echotag, this echo is for the discussion and support of        SD> the Microsoft Windows operating system. All versions of Windows are        SD> on-topic here as are any utilities and programs for Windows though        SD> Windows is the main topic.        SD>         SD> By your participation in this echo, you agree to the following rules:        SD>         SD> * Real names are required to be used in this echo. No aliases. If        SD> your BBS software will not allow you to toggle between real name and        SD> alias in the message header, sign your message with your full real        SD> name.              First broken rule                SD> * Be friendly. Agree to disagree. Don't flame or argue in this echo.        SD> If you must do so, please take it to netmail or somewhere else.              Second broken rule                SD> * Do not discuss anything illegal in this echo.        SD>         SD> * All messages must be in English. You may post a message in your        SD> native language as long as an English translation accompanies the        SD> native post in the same message.        SD>         SD> * No blatently off-topic posts, such as BBS ads, "test" messages,        SD> messages about politics or religion, et cetera. The moderator        SD> reserves the right to make the final decision if a message is on-        SD> or off-topic.              Third broken rule                SD> * Please don't gate this echo to USENET, a mailing list, another BBS        SD> mail network, an online Fidonet mail archive, or anything else         SD> without the moderator's express and written permission. This is a        SD> Fidonet echo and needs to stay in Fidonet.        SD>         SD> * This echo does not recognize any local or regional echomail policy,        SD> such as EP1, and originates from zone 1.        SD>         SD> * Any traffic concerning Fidonet matters, such as alleged "echo        SD> hijackings", complaints about other echoes and their moderators, or        SD> any traffic construed as such by the moderators is OFF-TOPIC. Please        SD> take such discussion to netmail or another appropriate echo.        SD>         SD> * The moderator has the final say in dealing with problems in the        SD> echo. If you have something to say about a moderator's action,        SD> please contact him via netmail (preferred) or email.        SD>         SD> * This is a living document and will be adjusted as needed.        SD>         SD> * This document will be posted on the 1st and 15th of each month.        SD>         SD> * Please don't hesitate to contact the moderator with any questions        SD> about this document.        SD>         SD> Thank you for your participation in WIN95!              It is fortunate that our moderator is so lenient. I strongly believe in the       'Three Strikes' method of moderation, in which case, you'd be outta       here...Little Willy...(o_O)              To put it simply: "If you can't say anything nice, STFU." -my mom              McDoob       SysOp, PiBBS       pibbs.sytes.net              ...
