TAGname: COOKING Group: FIDO TITLe: National Cooking Echo Language: ENGLISH DESCription: Offering a place to discuss cooking/food and related topics and the preparation, availability, appliances and tools related thereto. All are welcome! RULEs: {Verified} Rules Content: The COOKING Echo Rules Updated 14 March 2021 Moderator: Sean Dennis (1:18/200 -or- sysop@outpostbbs.net) This is the National Cooking Echo. It is a non-region specific conference dedicated to all persons interested in cooking and/or food related topics. The National Cooking Echo may not be gated without the moderator's permission. 1. Topics may be broad but the common theme shall remain cooking. This may include recipes, appliances, utensils, cookbooks, food history, et cetera. The discussion of the benefits of herbs for medicinal purposes is off-topic as are the benefits or recipes of any illegal or controlled substances. Discussion of brewing and distilling alcohol is not allowed. Discussion of consumption of alcohol for which the primary purpose is other than intoxication is specifically permitted. 2. Avoid excessive quoting. Try to quote just enough of the message so the person you are responding to understands the reply. Try to change the subject line when it no longer applies to the message. 3. The number of recipes per message should be limited to one or two short recipes such that the message body is of a reasonable size. The inclusion of recipes, whether or not related to the topic of the message body, is not mandatory but encouraged. Please make an effort to properly attribute quotations or other creative content to their original or at least an intermediate source. 4. DON'T get personal! Personal attacks (flames) and profanity are unwelcome in this conference and will not be tolerated. 5. No religion, theology, doctrine or biblical references are to be discussed or debated. However, religious taglines are allowed if they reference food or cooking. No political debates will be tolerated. No racial, ethnic or religious slurs will be tolerated. Headers and taglines, save for the exception above, are subject to the same rules as the message body. 6. The official language of the echo is English. Please do not post messages, recipes, or anything else in any other language without a proper translation into English as part of the same message. 7. ONLY the moderators will address off-topic traffic or any other violation of decorum or these rules. 8. Handles and/or aliases allowed if they are a normal part of your BBSing. However, you must post your real first and last name at the end of the body of your message if it does not appear in the header. Maintain only one presence on this echo; i.e., if you post with multiple names from multiple BBS accounts, make sure to sign your posts as noted above. 9. As stated in rule 6, the only language of the echo is English. However, there are many foreign words which are common in cooking terminology. For this reason, occasional and limited use of the extended character set (i.e. high ASCII) is allowed in messages and recipes ONLY in appropriate context, e.g. foreign words. Degree symbols and currency signs are frowned upon because of the lack of a standard translation by readers used by many members. High ASCII fractions are not allowed because some BBS software transforms them into whole numbers. The use of the extended character set (ASCII codes 127 and above), the control characters (ASCII codes 31 and below), or ANSI escape code sequences for artistic purposes is NOT allowed in messages or signature blocks. 10. The Cooking Echo is a plain text echo. HTML coded text, other "rich text" codes and/or inserted pictures are not allowed. 11. NO advertisements of any kind (including BBS ads) allowed, with the exception of ONE advertisement of new cooking-related software is allowed. You may NEVER advertise ANYTHING to sell in the echo. 12. The total number of messages per day posted by any single member should be limited to 20. If you wish to post mass quantities of recipes, please use the RECIPES echo for this. 13. This echo does not recognize any local or regional echomail policies such as EP1. This echo originates in Zone 1 and follows Zone 1 policies concerning the "echolist". 14. Any change in moderators will be done by the current moderators. 15. All official moderation messages will contain wording that distinguishes them from ordinary traffic. 16. The moderators may, at their sole discretion, appoint temporary assistant Moderators whose action within the echo only shall carry the full weight of official moderation. 17. These rules are subject to change at any time. The moderators will give timely notice of such changes; their word is the final authority and is not subject to question. 18. No discussion of moderation is to be done in the Echo. Any discussion of moderation should be directed to the moderators via netmail (preferred) or email.
