This echo conference was created for communication on the topic of the
ZX-Spectrum platform, mainly for people who have access to
Fido using real Spectrum-compatible computers (although, in principle, anyone who will
follow these rules can participate in the correspondence).
1. It is prohibited to mention other platforms (you can mention
them if it is related to the features of the software being discussed and hard); It is also prohibited to compare platforms with each other, as well as to criticize them [*].
1.1 Discussion of emulators is unacceptable, this is an echo for the
_real_ Spectrum [*].
2. Skirmishes between different modifications of Spectrum-compatible computers are extremely undesirable (please respect
the creators and users of all types of our warmly beloved
Specchi) [*].
3. Excessive quoting is punished (more than 70%) [*],
try to leave those phrases to which, in your opinion, you
are giving an answer or comment.

Before posting, the above files _necessarily_
must be packed with Spectrum ZIP (*.$z) or a similar

_only_ with the permission of the Moderator or Commoderator! 100-120 lines!
5.1 Project "NeOS"declared a “pilot” project of the echo conference, it follows that permission to post new versions and documentation, as well as software designed to work
under NeOS, was issued by Roman Petrov AKA Megus/Brainwave^X-Project
(2:5052/7.37@fidonet). The permission includes unlimited UUE traffic without prior approval by a moderator.
Coordination of the project and limitation of daily UUE traffic
remains on the conscience of Roman Petrov.

6. Personal correspondence is prohibited! [*]
7. Communication with the Moderator/Comoderator only in netmail,
send all complaints here. Unauthorized moderation
is punished [+].
8. Of course, I also read and write in this conference, so
letters only in the name of Moderator
or CoModerator are considered official.
9. “Hacker” conversations (about hacking programs, disrespect of copyright, etc.) are strictly prohibited [+]. Advertising of hacked products or posting them in the echo entails a lifelong ban [!].
9.1 Dissemination of information about all kinds of cheats -
disrespect for the conference subscribers,therefore I will
punish mercilessly! [*].
9.2 Distribution of solutions is also not welcome at all! [*] If they ask for help in completing any game,
answer with netmail, because for others it may be completely
nothing!
10. As in ZX.SPECTRUM - the use of
nicknames in the From/To field is not allowed (let's not start a kindergarten,
the “cool hackers” are already making a dazzle in the eyes). The exception is
Moderator/CoModerator :) .
CoModerator has every right to distribute stars and pluses,
beware :) .
Re-election of the Moderator is a malicious offtopic. As long as I'm alive, you will keep order for me here! :)
Language of communication - Russian, Ukrainian, English. Try not to complicate the lives of others, write more clearly, if possible competently, correct the mistakes of others correctly and, if possible, by netmail.
Otherwise - well, everything is described in the echopolis, what is not
prohibited is allowed.
The echo conference is available for gating to all networks
FTN-standard, gate sysops _must_ ensure the correct
content of the "From:","To:" fields in accordance with the standards
