Conference rules for the GUITAR echo: rev. 25 Feb 13
Posting Frequency: 1st of the month.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
By posting in this echomail conference you indicate that you have read
and will comply with these rules and guidelines. Sysops should use
whatever means are available via their bbs package of choice to make
these rules available to users when first entering the conference.
This fidonet echomail conference is intended for discussion of topics
relevant to playing the guitar or the bass.
Although this is an international conference we ask that you post in
English only please.
All posters must use their real name. IF your real name does not
appear in the from field then it should appear in the signature of the
message.
Signatures are limited to no more than four (4) lines... Do you really
need to put all that in your sig to start with?? ;)
If for personal or professional reasons you would wish to post here
using other than your real name, please netmail the moderator at the
above shown fidonet address. Performers and entertainers often
would prefer to perform under a stage name, or would prefer to enjoy a
forum such as this one without being plagued by the problems that
might result. IF you would wish to participate in this echo using
other than your real name please netmail an explanation of your
reasoning. Reasonable requests to waive the real name requirement will
be granted. IF such a request is granted the privacy of the requesting
party will be protected by the moderator(s) of this echomail
conference.
Please conduct yourself in this echo as a rational thinking adult.
The moderator(s) prefer to handle moderation issues via private mail
wherever possible. Sysops who do not offer users netmail are asked to
convey any communication addressed to a user and sent by netmail to
that user.
Musicians are a gregarious bunch, and topics can drift from the stated
subject quite easily, so I've noted over the years while participating
in many forums for musicians and support personnel. Your moderator will
interpret these rules quite loosely so as to make this echo fun and
beneficial to participants. However, flaming and personal attacks will
*not* be tolerated.
Please do not gate this echo outside of fidonet without asking
permission of the moderator(s) and conference participants. Gating
requests may be granted if the gate works reliably in both directions
for both echomail traffic as well as private netmail communications.
As is customary with fidonet echomail conferences we discourage
multiple line signatures and high bit ascii except where allowed by
conventions such as the header of the message to convey proper names of
individuals, etc. So, come on in, pull up a chair and enjoy discussing
that musical instrument that has brought so much joy to your life.
What you don't use you may lose! Tell your fellow guitar and bass
guitar enthusiasts about this echomail conference. This moderator
considers himself the custodian of this echomail conference. One of the
duties of such a custodian is, of course, keeping the echo compliant
with requirements for backbone carriage. The echo actually belongs to
its participants. Therefore, if the echo moderator can no longer serve
as moderator/custodian, all necessary information and materials will be
turned over to a new moderator chosen by the echo's participants, or an
individual who has expressed an interest in serving as moderator. A
vote of echo users will always be preferred should the moderator choose
not to continue however.
This echomail conference was created in 1992. The fidonet guitar echo
has been carried on the z1 backbone for over a decade, and once was a
very popular echomail conference. Help us keep it on the fidonet
backbones by participating and telling your fellow guitar and bass
enthusiasts about it.
Thanks for participating in the guitar echo.
