FOXADMIN.TXT                     (Revised March 14, 1995)

     Administration of The FoxNet Echomail Network
     ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Administration includes: Network Coordinators, FoxNet Hubs,
Echo Moderators, Regional Coordinators, and Executive Admin.

When behaving in an official Capacity in the course of your
duties, Always identify yourself ie:

	* The following is an Official Message...

		<Body of Message>

	  Your cooperation is appreciated.

		    Name Here 
		-= FoxNet Admin =-
			OR
	  -= FoxNet Echo_Name Moderator =-

This will indicate that you are acting in an official capacity.

DO NOT get embroiled in a battle in the Flame Echo, and whip
out your Admin "Badge"... Users will not appreciate that, and
I will not stand for it. If you go into the Flame echo, you
go in without any shield... Naked as a jaybird! Equal turf.

	   *** Exceptions ***

1/... In FOX_FLAME (Adult Flame Echo)
      The exception will be to step in and intercede between users 
      that have obviously moved past fun and are into violence.

      **************** PLEASE NOTE ****************

If you are having trouble with a user following rules, or
is disobeying Admin Directives, Please contact myself or
the Sysop of the BBS where the messages are originating
and have the matter straightened out locally. Let's not
allow situations to get out of hand in the Echo's.

Sensitive discussions between Sysop's or Admin Should be
carried out via NetMail, not in the Sysop Echo.

I will not tolerate BASHING of any Mail Nets including
this one... All Admin people are to promote not degrade
our Net, and others. Professional Courtesy is a MUST!

While I enjoy other Nets, I enjoy them while reading or
writing IN them... Crossposting from one Mail Net into
this one (and vice-versa) will not be tolerated.

Cross posting from your Local Bases into FoxNet is
permitted, if not done excessively.

I should think that first warnings can be issued in the
echo where it occurs (or after moving it to an appropriate
echo) Second and subsequent warnings should be issued by
myself (Kevin L. Wells) only and it should be in a public echo, 
so others can read admin decisions... Sort of Place the 
offenders on display.

**********************************************************

From the Founder of FoxNet...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I expect all members of the Admin to behave as professionally
as possible... We all lose it sometimes, and I will too, 
please remember that we are a team, I may need reminding at
times, as I am sure you all will too...

Here are some general Admin rules...

1/... NEVER openly critcize fellow Admin Members in open
      Echo's. We should appear to be united on all decisions.
      The Admin Echo or Sysop Echo is for this....

2/... NEVER use abusive language when acting in an official
      capacity... I will not stand for that. Regardless of
      what a user says to you... It will be easier and more
      professional to have them removed. It is also difficult
      to respect someone who is using profanity in an attempt
      to bully someone.

3/... Be courteous, and turn the other cheek sometimes... It
      is easy to "over-moderate" and difficult to save face
      if things backfire on you.

4/... Allways help out new users to Echo Mail... Many learn to
      enjoy it once they get in the swing of things.


5/... The Network Coordinator (Kevin Wells) Reserves the right
      to make ALL final decisions in the best interest of the Net.

This list will be added to and updated from time to time, so if
anyone would like to add to it, please make the text up, and
send it to me.

	Thank you
