**********************************
ALLFIX International FILEFIND Echo
**********************************

This is the International ALLFIX FileFind Echo.  This echo is here for the
express purpose of allowing users with access to ALLFIX or some other
compatible FILEFIND program to send a request over FidoNet to find certain
files that they are looking for. FILEFIND requests can be echomail in format.
If some general netmail replies are generated they should be sent via routed
NETMAIL.  However since some of these type of replies can be very large, that
should generally be frowned upon.  This echo is here for the specific use of
FILEFIND requests.  It is NOT for file announcements or anything else of that
nature.

Notes: Moderator Approval is required for ANY Gate

****************************************
INTERNATIONAL ALLFIX FILEFIND ECHO RULES
****************************************

Originally developed by Jeff Schrunk.  Last Revision: 2003-09-04

1.  No flames or personal attacks or insults. If anyone has a problem
   with another in this echo send netmail to the Moderator and he will
   deal with it out of the echo.

2.  NO illegal activity or item may be advertised.  Any person breaking
   this rule will be immediately removed from the echo.  No warnings,
   no exceptions.

3.  Taglines that are inflammatory or otherwise judged inappropriate in
   the echo by the other sysops of the net shall be prohibited. If in
   doubt as to whether yours might be in violation ask yourself "would
   this be likely to bother others".

4.  Quoting is not allowed generally unless there is a problem with a
   FileFind message that a user or sysop has sent.  If quoting is done
   it must be limited to the part of a message that one is replying to
   and may not exceed 25% of the original message.

5.  Testing (test messages) of individual systems in this echo are NOT
   ALLOWED!!!  PERIOD!!!!

6.  No BBS Ads

7.  Be friendly.

8.  NO NEW FILES ANNOUNCEMENTS.  This is a FileFind area not a New File
   Announcement Area.

9.  Arguing with the moderator in the echo is defined as "excessively
   annoying" and may result in the immediate cutting of feeds.


Strong suggestions:    (Not mandatory, unless they are abused)
-------------------

1.  Don't take offense at some things that are said. If it offends you
   then just ignore it.

2.  Flaming someone because you feel that their point is wrong with what
   you think could cost you access to FILEFIND.

3.  Hold down the Ascii Art.  Some systems choke on the wrong
   characters.


I'll add or subtract from this list as necessary from time to time. All of your
input is appreciated.

** Persons breaking the rules will be first publicly warned in this
echo.  A subsequent violation by the same person will result in a personal
netmail warning being sent out.  A third infraction of the rules will result in
that person being removed from the echo.  Any such requests will be sent in
netmail.

As usual, all comments can be sent to me at 1:342/5 or [email protected].
All abuse of this structure shall be considered "excessively annoying".

Bob Swift, Moderator, FILEFIND Echo.
