  This echo is for the discussion and support of BBS software, utilities,  
  and doors, regardless of hardware or software platforms.  Other  
  general BBS-related chat that is not already specifically covered  
  by another echo in Fidonet is also welcome.  This can include questions  
  from new Fidonet users about Fidonet.  
    
  Current BBS software authors are allowed and encouraged to support their  
  product in this echo if they do not have an echo of their own on the Fidonet  
  backbone.  
    
  By your participation in this echo, you agree to the following rules:  
    
  * Real names are required to be used in this echo.  No aliases.  If  
    your BBS software will not allow you to toggle between real name and  
    alias in the message header, sign your message with your real name.  
    
  * All messages must be in English.  You may post a message in your native  
    language as long as an English translation accompanies the native  
    post in the same message.  
    
  * No blatently off-topic posts such as BBS ads, "test" messages,  
    et cetera.  
    
  * 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.  
    Absolutely none of that is allowed in this echo and violators will  
    be dealt with swiftly.  Please take such discussion to netmail or  
    another appropriate echo.  
    
  * BBS software authors are allowed to announce new versions of their  
    software in this echo.  
    
  * Be civil and have a sense of humor.  BBSing is a very personal hobby  
    where people may run their system differently than yours.  Unless their  
    system is harming yours, just agree to disagree if the discussion gets  
    heated which leads to this: please no flaming!  I understand disagreements  
    and misunderstandings but if you decide you want to get personal, please  
    take it elsewhere.  
    
  * Please don't gate this echo to USENET, a mailing list, another BBS  
    mail network, an online Fidonet mail archive, or anything else  
    without the moderator's express and written permission.  This is  
    a Fidonet echo and needs to stay in Fidonet.  
    
  * 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".  
    
  * The moderators have the final say in dealing with problems in the echo.  
    If you have something to say about a moderator's action, please  
    contact them via netmail (preferred) or email.  
    
  * This is a living document and will be adjusted as needed.  
    
  * This document will be posted on the 1st and 15th of each month and  
    when needed.  
    
  * Please don't hesitate to contact the moderators with any questions.  
    
  Thank you for your participation in BBS_CARNIVAL!
