IN response to suggestions made to me, and feedback received so far I have
revised the rules and guidelines for this
echomail conference.
OF course, the real names only requirement is still in
place.

Your suggestions and input are welcome.  Echo moderators and sysops, please
give these some thought and provide any
feedback in the conference itself so that we can develop a
forum that meets the needs of all parties concerned.

Rules and info
YOur host and moderator:  Richard Webb of Fidonet 1:116/901

Last updated January 12, 2012

What it's for:  A place for moderators to exchange tips tricks and information
regarding moderation of FIdonet echoes and other forums.  Any and all
discussion regarding the management and moderation of a Fidonet conference is
welcome.

Users and point operators must request permission to post in this echomail
conference, either via routed netmail, or via the sysop hosting the user or
point system.  PErmission will be granted to recognized moderators of Fidonet
echomail conferences who are not themselves the operator of a system listed in
the
FIdonet nodelist.  The conference may be made available as
read only to all other points and users.

Moderatosr who are not Fidonet system operators may send
email to

richard.webb@116-901.ftn.wpusa.dynip.com with a subject line indicating that
the message is requesting write privileges in this conference. Parties
requesting access via email must state which listed FIdonet system they will
be using to post in
the conference, or a point address derived from a listed
FIdonet system.  When permission to post is approved it will be posted in the
echo, and routed netmail sent to the sysop
hosting the requester.  IF an individual requesting posting
privileges is not known to the moderator his/her request
will be conveyed to the echo for the purpose of seeking
additional information from echo participants.

Usual rules of FIdonet echomail apply.  These
include the use of real names, proper displaying of address
and other information on messages originating from your system, etc.

Gateways to/from other networks must be approved by users
of the conference.  IF approved any gateway must work in both directions.  The
operator of any approved gate is responsible for all traffic entering the echo
through that gateway.

MOderation issues will be handled by Fidonet netmail only.
OTher than that, come on in, pull up a chair!  Thanks for
participating in the Fidonet echomods conference.


Regards,
           Richard
