  • Rules

    From Lee Lofaso@2:203/2 to mark lewis on Mon Sep 16 19:24:37 2019
    Hello mark,

    generally speaking, the echo's rules postings would state what the
    access should be for the echo... back in the day, operators would
    ml.turn on areas and restrict them to the operator's access until they
    saw the rules for access or were told what the access should be...
    then the operator would adjust the areas' access level accordingly... ml>generally, echo rules were posted monthly on a set schedule... this
    is not necessarily so any more and some areas don't post any rules
    at all...

    Do you honestly think trolls give a flying fuck about rules?

    of course not... the correlation is criminals ignoring the law...

    besides, you don't have a leg to stand on if your access is removed by the operator(s) of the system(s) you use... they are the main ones to enforce the rules...

    Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.

    Criminals are very nice people. Most of them knock before entering.
    It is only those who get caught (usually because they forgot to knock)
    who are truly guilty of ignoring the law ...

    besides, you don't have a leg to stand on if your access is removed by the operator(s) of the system(s) you use... they are the main ones to enforce the rules...

    A sysop is lord and master of his/her own system. I always knock
    before entering. Same as others of my own kind. So what's the
    problem? You do understand. I am blameless. The same as all my
    colleagues ...
