                     Rules for the Fidonews Echo
                         Revised: 2004-05-31

Description:

  This is the Fidonews Echo. Area tag: FIDONEWS

Moderator:

  The Fidonews editor, as listed in the nodelist and in the banner of
  the most recent issue of the Fidonews weekly publication, is the
  permanent moderator of this echo.

Policy:

  The Echopol1 policy applies where applicable, with the exception that
  characters above 0x7e hex, 126 decimal (sometimes known as HI ASCII)
  *are* permitted (i.e. para V.18.a does not apply).

Availability:

  Every sysop is encouraged to make this echo available to any user,
  that's interested in reading and writing in it.

Purpose:

  The purpose of this echo is the discussion of recent articles (within
  the last two weeks) in the Fidonews publication.

                              -=-=-=-=-

General Rules:

1. The moderator's ruling is final.

2. No vulgar language. This includes, but is not limited to, flames
   and profanities.

3. Discuss only articles printed in the Fidonews Publication. A certain
   amount of straying from this is however expected and encouraged.

4. In the event that some ingenious person figures out a way to bypass
   these rules, the moderator reserves the right to make a rule to
   end the situation.

5. Articles are not to be submitted nor will they be accepted in the
   echo. If you can write a comment in the echo, you can just as easily
   make that a personal letter to the editor -- everyone in the echo
   will still see it, only a few days later.


   Fidonews Editor, 2:2/2, Moderator
