- The nature of things:
- =====================
- Perhaps the most important rules in MISSING_CHILD echo are simply
- these:
-
- 1) Do not be easily offended.
-
- 2) Do not easily offend.
-
- Since the very nature of MISSING_CHILD echo deals with a highly
- emotional subject, Missing/Abducted children, you must realize
- that people may react strongly to messages you may post. Please
- remember the purpose of this echo is to find missing and abducted
- children.
-
- When you post something in MISSING_CHILD, do so with the
- expectation that someone might take exception to it. Some
- subjects provoke almost violent reactions among some conference
- users, and you should not be surprised to receive fierce and
- intemperant replies from time to time. This is inevitable in
- MISSING_CHILD, and it is considered bad form to run to the
- Moderator when it happens, unless specific violations of the
- topic rules above have taken place.
-
- Feelings run high in the MISSING_CHILD echo.
- The Moderators reserves the right to make these fine
- judgment calls as they see fit.
-
- In general:
- ===========
- The Moderator feels that origin lines, at least, ought to be
- verifiable and legitimate.
-
- Complaints to the Moderator should be sent in private Netmail,
- if offered by your sysop, to 1:387/622, or 1:109/607. Post
- complaints on the conference itself only if there is no other
- way.
-
- The Moderator reserves the right to take part in any or all
- discussions on the conference, without regard to his status as
- Moderator. When he is acting specifically as Moderator, he will
- sign his message as:
-
-
- Marv Cotton, 1:387/622
- Russell Coombs, 1:2612/107
-
- MISSING_CHILD Conference Moderators
