Hello Everybody,
Welcome to the new DEBATE echo.
As your friendly neighborhood
moderator, I am here to help you
understand the rules which you
are expected to play by.
I have only one rule. One very
simple rule. And this one very
simple rule is for everybody,
not just for a select few.
What is that rule? Here it is,
with a very short prologue -
As an example of how fucked up fidonet is today, the self-
proclaimed zone 1 coordinator says it is okay for sysops and
moderators to use a handle/alias - in every echo. I have an
email from her addressed to me to prove it. In response to
that email, I am issuing the following rule for the DEBATE
echo -
I AM THE OFFICIAL MODERATOR OF THIS ECHO. ALL OTHER PARTICIPANTS
ARE CO-MODERATORS. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO USE THE HANDLE/ALIAS OF YOUR
CHOICE. IN THIS ECHO, AND ELSEWHERE.
My rule is not limited to sysops. And please note that my rule
is in full accordance with the zone 1 coordinator's ruling -
all sysops and moderators are allowed to use a handle/alias,
regardless of echo.
All other rules pale in comparison with this rule. So I never
bothered writing any additional rules. Better to spend my time
with other more important matters. Such as peeling shrimp.
