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. If you have recently linked to this conference please post a netmail to the moderator detailing methods of user connection you support which might not be listed in the nodelist, i.e. www, telnet, nntp.
