    I will let their rules untouched. They fit our needs I presume.



    Topics:

    - Discussion and development of future-oriented mechanisms to advance
    means of access for new FidoNet participants, and of ideas on further
    development of FTN technology and FidoNet in general.

    - Discussion and problem solving in critical FidoNet areas, for example
    how to keep FidoNet attractive. What can we do as individuals or as a
    group, what ideas exist and what can be implemented?

    This echo is designed to provide a "workplace" for new developments in
    global FTN technology (as in the case of special echos for policy
    development), and to help us generate new ideas to keep Fido attractive
    in the future. Anyone who has a good idea about a subject dealing with
    what should be done to develop FidoNet can discuss it here at leisure.

    The echo is not only open to *Cs, but is particularly intended for
    developers and other interested participants, who can make useful
    contributions to the discussions on the basis of years of FidoNet
    experience.

    The currently valid policy and echo policy apply.

    The participants are requested to address one another in a friendly tone.

    Encoded files are not permitted in the echo.

    Any criticism of the moderation or moderation in general should be taken
    to moderated.ger (in R24). However, this does not mean that discussion of the basic subject of whether moderation is necessary in Fido, and how we can realize new related ideas, is undesirable; to this extent, such
    discussion is on topic.

    Many thanks to Robert Bashe for his translation.

    THANK YOU for that. That is surely a l-o-n-g time ago. If he wants to play MOD he can certainly have it. Was he a sysop? ..or just a user? I don't see 2:2426/* anymore.

    Hello nathanael,

    I hope not. I hate the idea. I just want to talk fido tech and hear ideas.

    Moderator implies a sort of "policing" function - to keep the peace or keep the discussion on topic. But I think we all have enough sense to know what works in an echo that clearly describes its purpose. I can't be online every day. I might eventually just manage a few hours once a week to catch up.

    The original echo description that has been dug up and reposted here is excellent. Not ever seeing the original description, it sounds like I was close to what the tagline was representing. I primarily wanted to get through the DESC lines as quickly as I could, so I kept the new one short.

    Instead of the idea of having a "MODerator", something like having an echo lauched, seeded, restored, rejuvinated, refreshed, ..whatever would be a better sense of what has been done.

    No.

    I agree, let's be novel and self-moderate - be responsible for our own posts.

    Hello Wilfred,

    http://nodehist.fidonet.org.ua/?address=2%3A2426%2F1205
    So, gone since 2012...

    Kudos to Pavel G. for building the lookup. I have referred to it many times in the past.
    THAT site *should* be highlighted on a good fidonet.* page so that people can explore and observe the history.
