Feed cuts are for losers...
Yup... dare I say I would not abide by one,
Same here ... and there are several others since the stranglehold of the NA was broken.
The thing about feed cuts, is that with the Fido-Web, anyone can pretty much have an intertwined feed making cuts essentially a moot point. It is *extremely difficult* to realistically moderate an echo these days, in my opinion.
Two moderators, not mentioning names, have tried to "ban" what comes from Darkrealms, and these two are moderators who frequented FN_SYSOP and FIDONEWS and had no problem chiming in when insults were hurled over to Zone 2 from the likes of Roy Witt and others.
For this and a few other reasons, I began to distrust and dislike many in Zone 1 who brag about "free speech" but not when it offends them or threatens any kind of rules or policy... There may not be an echo policy but I guarantee you there would be a list of "remedies" for an operator that ignores a feed cut.
Its also one of the reasons why this echo has no rules whatever, even going so far as to allowing anyone to post under any name, even anonymous messages.
