    Please pay particular attention to the part about posting frequencies. I
    am noticing that one or two systems are posting multiple times/day. Please throttle back to two to three times a week instead of *a day*. Thanks!

    The Fidonet BBS_ADS Echo Rules
    Updated 31 October 2021

    Moderator: Mike Powell (1:2320/105)

    This echo is for sysops to post ads promoting their bulletin board systems.

    By your participation in this echo, you agree to abide by the
    following rules:

    * ANSI and ASCII ads are allowed in this echo, however, be aware that
    some BBS software automatically strips ANSI escape codes.

    * Please do not post more than three times a week for your BBS.

    * Please advertise BBS networks in the in OTHERNETS echo rather than this
    one.

    * Please keep chit-chat to a minimum. I would consider complementing
    someone on their ANSI art, or asking a quick question about the BBS
    advertised, as being on topic. If you find you are asking more questions,
    or not even discussing the advertisement any more, please consider moving
    the discussion to netmail or to another, more appropriate, echo.

    * English is the main language of the echo since this is the moderator's
    native tongue. You may post a message in your native tongue as long
    as there is a comprehensible English translation in the same message.

    * No blatently off-topic posts, such as "test" messages, et cetera.

    * Please don't gate this echo to USENET, a mailing list, another BBS
    mail network, an online Fidonet mail archive, or anything else
    without the moderator's express and written permission. This is
    a Fidonet echo and needs to stay in Fidonet.

    * This echo does not recognize any local or regional echomail policy,
    such as EP1.

    * The moderator has the final say in dealing with problems in the echo.
    If you have something to say about a moderator's action, please
    contact him via netmail (preferred) or email.

    * This is a living document and will be adjusted as needed.

    * This document will be posted near the 1st of each month.

    * Please don't hesitate to contact the moderator with any questions
    about this document.

    Thank you for your participation in BBS_ADS!
