Rules, Regulations, & Guidelines for Fidonet's FUNNY Jokes and Stories echo

This file and the rules as per the Fido official echo description constitute  our rules & regulations, binding on every user in this echo, by their  participation (whether passive(reading) or active(posting); if this displeases  you, you know the way you came in -- you may & should exit the same way & never return.

Echo purpose: to hear something repeated you've just said.

Note all are labeled #1 as they're all important -- 

#1: You must (re)read these every time you see them posted by myself or another
moderator, addressed to "All"

#1: even if a rule, below, seems phrased humorously (even your mods try to stay
on topic) it is a hard & fast rule, requiring your adherence

#1: Have fun or GTFO

#1: don't be a jackass; you're a guest in other people's home.

#1: every post must contain funny content (text)

#1: English(UK+CAN) is the natural language of the fully evolved human being, 
thus English is the echo's official language. Americanis American & English  users may feel free to humorously(key) poke fun at Americanisms

#1: grammar & punctuation is probably important -- mis-use opens yourself up to
funny or punny ridicule.

#1: leave the moderating to the moderator(s); you may  not see it being done, 
but we work behind the scenes often. If you have a complaint, echomail or email your mods; do NOT post into the echo (unless you're following rule#1 of course,
& being funny)

#1: This echo is rated PG-16; i.e. content should not be overly shocking to the
average 16 year old (boy or girl); no porn -- that's elsewhere in cyberspace

#1: NO ads for products, services, echos, pages, or ANYTHING, except as you've 
sent to the mod, with agreed upon payment, & the mod posts it for you,  following all rules.

#1: NO auto-posting (bots); this echo is for humans; if you can fully 
understand these  rules, you are likely human.

#1: the mods are not responsible for any damage to your connection devices 
(including modems & computer & monitor) perpetrated by a moderator's use of the Freister Device (detects your personal(not BBS, not your fido upline) source  system & sends proprietary signals to cause your disks, CPU, mainboard, & modem to die ("fry" from Freister, the inventor, & my friend)

#1: You have been warned

#1 Swearing should be kept to a minimum -- & only as befits the joke/thread -- 
we're adults here & should act & talk like it.  If you're mixing them in  randomly like salt & pepper, you're too young to be in here.

#1: These rules should appear once a month, but regardless if you've seen or 
read them, you MUST follow all, or delist the echo &/or visit others (&/or make your own, even!)

#1: We only roast the ones we love

#1: The End (or is it?)
