 1. Do not be easily annoyed.

    Count to "ten" or use netmail instead.

 2. Do not be excessively annoying.

    This often means the use of netmail also.  These are some items
    which are considered as being "annoying":

           Use of profanity
           Quoting someone elses profanity
           Non-compliance with general echo policies:

    - Do NOT use handles or Aliases.
    - No "high-end" characters in echomail. This includes ANSI color
      codes.
    - No "Test" messages in international areas.
    - No BBS ads.
    - ** Absolutely No Posting of "flame" or derogatory messages. Keep
      these to NetMail or one of the "other nets", they WILL NOT be
      tolerated in this Echo!

 3. Keep to the topic of the conference

    This is perhaps the most significant of all. Messages in the echo
    are to relate to the "utilities" written for RemoteAccess and a
    little on RemoteAccess itself. The term "Utilities" means (in this
    case) programs written to work specifically for RemoteAccess, or
    which work with RemoteAccess (amongst others), who's purpose is to
    enhance the BBS program, in some fashion, for SysOps and  or Users.
    If the utility cannot be used on a RemoteAccess system, then it does
    not belong in the echo. The moderators, alone, reserve the right to
    decide, which topics are appropriate or not.

 4. Permit the Moderator(s) to moderate

    Though we appreciate your concern and willingness to assist, please
    leave the "moderating" to the moderators. We have our own
"unique"
    way of dealing with things and they aren't always noticable, but
    they are being done.

 5. Automated File Availability Announcements

    Do not assume that because you see automated file announcement
    messages that you can set your system up to start announcing also.
    Only the heads of the file distribution networks or their designated
    liasion may post automated file announcement messages. If you
    believe that you should be able to post these automated messages,
    send netmail to one of the moderators requesting permission.
