Ärende: B5 Echo Rules
=====================
(last update February 2, 2004)
changes:
Updated some obsolete wording in section 4), added mention of Supreme Power in
1) and 2)

1) This echo is for polite discussion of the TV show, Babylon 5 and related
books, TV movies and the related series, Crusade.  Other JMS projects such as
Jeremiah, the comic series' "Rising Stars", "Supreme Power" and "Midnight
Nation" are also allowed.
Users are requested to keep within shouting range of the topic.  Note - while I
suppose comparisons to other shows (notably Star Trek) are inevitable, this is
NOT the Trek Bashing echo.  Keep it polite, guys.  (Even when replying to
trolls.  Drives 'em NU
TZ.)

2) Don't put spoilers (surprise plot elements etc.) in subject lines.  Though
not required (currently - folks?), internal spoiler warnings are recommended
for episodes of currently running series (Jeremiah), or the most recent issues
of currently running
comic book series (Rising Stars, Midnight Nation, Supreme Power).  In the case
of TV movies, oneshot comics and the like (Delicate Creatures), spoilers are
recommended for the first week after release.

To include a spoiler warning prefix the information you are warning about by
the phrase "spoiler warning for [name of episode or whatever]" followed by
about 24 blank lines.

3) Crossposting of messages related to the topic is permitted. Please don't
post entire articles from magazines and the like without getting the author's
permission first.  And check with me before crossposting FAQs to make sure only
one person posts that
 particular FAQ.

4) This is meant as a discussion echo for JMS projects like Babylon 5; fanfic
is not banned, but should not involve anything that might conceivably happen in
an ongoing or potential project (including any B5 related movies and the like. 
It's over, but it
's not THAT over.).  As William Rotsler said about costume contest entries,
short is good, funny is good, short and funny is best - if it'll run more than
one post please check with me first.  Long items should be made available for
f'req, on websites, or
 the like; just tell people where to look for them.  Filksongs are fine.

5) Those failing to follow the rules will be warned both in the echo and via
netmail - repeated infractions can get you tossed out of the echo temporarily
or permanently.  Moderator rulings once made should not be discussed in the
echo.  Take it to netmai
l/email.

6) As always, if someone comes up with a new and improved way to aggravate all
and sundry the Moderator reserves the right to make a rule to fit the occasion.
