Live_audio echo rules
Last revision June 4, 2010
Your host and moderator: Richard Webb
By posting in this conference you indicate your acceptance of these
rules. THey are posted on the 15th of each month.
Sound reinforcement is becoming more necessary in a wider range of
activities than ever before. theatrical productions; worship
services and gatherings; concerts; meetings and seminars. There
are many reasons that this is so.
the modern multi-purpose space isn't tailored to provide good
listening to people at all points; climate control systems are
noisy; outside sounds creep in, and worst of all, thanks to higher
ambient noise we're on the average more prone to hearing loss.
The corollary to this is that sound reinforcement is often
misunderstood and solutions improperly applied.
The live_audio echo is here to serve as a forum for discussion of
sound reinforcement techniques and equipment by amateurs and
professionals in the field. A few simple rules will keep
everything friendly and make this a place where fidonet
participants can come to get questions answered and offer solutions
to common sound reinforcement problems.
We ask that you post only in ENglish and avoid theuse of high
bit ascii.
1. USe your real name. IF not sure, check birth certificate or
other legal documents. IF your real name does not appear in
the from: field then it should be plainly visible in the body
of the post.
2. NO off topic posts, including chain letters, pyramid schemes,
test posts, etcetera.
"Where are you from" might be relevant so as to find somebody who
can pay a visit to a poster's facility to help him/her solve a
problem however.
Home recording, home theater and car audio are not topical
to this echo.
3. Personal attacks will *not* be tolerated. Check your flame
thrower at the door. Conduct yourself as a reasoning thinking
adult human being at all times in this echo.
Because of the nature of sound reinforcement there are times when
a poster may suggest a technique or practice which could endanger
others or himself. After all, we're dealing with construction
techniques and electricity quite often. When a poster recommends
such practices debunk the recommendation but don't get personal.
4. IF discussing building and/or electrical codes do attempt to
cite actual regulations. Remember that these vary according to
locale however.
5. Gating of this echo outside fidonet without moderator approval
is forbidden.
6. Usual standards of fidonet posting apply: Single line
signatures, limit your quotes, etcetera.
7. Leave moderating to the moderator and any appointed co-
moderators.
8. Your moderator will ask the poster of any message not
conforming to these rules to curtail such activity once in the open
echo. If the activity persists the moderator or appointed co-
moderators will take steps to see that echo access is denied the
offending poster. All other discussions of moderation issues
should take place via fidonet netmail or email.
THIs echo belongs to those who would use it and find it beneficial.
Your moderator will endeavor to keep its status current with any
requirements for continued backbone carriage and will
perform any functions necessary to see that it remains
enjoyable and useful to its participants.
Should the moderator choose to discontinue activity in fidonet the
echolist password will be turned over to any appointed co-
moderator with an interest in continuing as echo moderator.
