THE FIDONET GUITAR ECHO
echo posting guidelines
Last modified: June 4, 2010
By posting in this echomail conference you indicate that you
have read and will comply with these rules and guidelines.
Sysops should use whatever means are available via their bbs
package of choice to make these rules available to users
when first entering the conference.
This fidonet echomail conference is intended for discussion
of topics relevant to playing the guitar or the bass.
Although this is an international conference we ask that you post in
ENglish only please.
All posters must use their real name. IF your real name does
not appear in the from field then it should appear in the
signature of the message.
If for personal or professional reasons you would wish to post here
using other than your real name please netmail the moderator at the
above shown fidonet address. Performers and entertainers often
would prefer to perform under a stage name, or would prefer to enjoy a
forum such as this one without being plagued by the problems that might
result. IF you would wish to participate in this echo using other
than your real name please netmail an explanation of your reasoning.
Reasonable requests to waive the real name requirement will be granted.
IF such a request is granted the privacy of the requesting party
will be protected by the moderator(s) of this echomail conference.
Please conduct yourself in this echo as a rational thinking adult.
This moderator prefers to handle moderation issues via
private mail wherever possible. Sysops who do not offer
users netmail are asked to convey any communication addressed
to a user and sent by netmail to that user.
Musicians are a gregarious bunch, and topics can drift from
the stated subject quite easily I've noted over the years
while participating in many forums for musicians and support
personnel. Your moderator will interpret these rules quite
loosely so as to make this echo fun and beneficial to
participants. However, flaming and personal attacks will
*not* be tolerated.
Please do not gate this echo outside of fidonet without
asking permission of the moderator and conference
participants. Gating requests may be granted if the gate
works in both directions reliably.
As is customary with fidonet echomail conferences we
discourage multiple line signatures and high bit ascii
except where allowed by conventions such as the header of
the message to convey proper names of individuals, etc.
So, come on in, pull up a chair and enjoy discussing that
musical instrument that has brought so much joy to your
life.
WHat you don't use you may lose! Tell your fellow guitar and
bass guitar enthusiasts about this echomail conference.
This moderator considers himself the custodian of this
echomail conference. ONe of the duties of such a custodian
is of course keeping the echo compliant with requirements
for backbone carriage. The echo actually belongs to its
participants. THerefore, if the echo moderator can no longer
serve as moderator/custodian all necessary information and materials will
be
turned over to a new moderator chosen by the echo's
participants, or an individual who has expressed an interest
in serving as moderator. A vote of echo users will always be
preferred should the moderator choose not to continue
however.
This echomail conference was created in 1992. THe fidonet guitar echo
has been carried on the z1 backbone for over a decade, and once
was a very popular echomail conference. Help us keep it on the
fidonet backbones by participating and telling your fellow
guitar and bass enthusiasts about it.
THanks for participating in the guitar echo.
