Probably true as well. But that doesn't change the rules in here. If a person is that worried about their real name showing up, they shouldn't post at all. The rules apply to everyone, not just the non-paranoid
ones. He shouldn't be allowed to post here with that name.
Echo mods can't really enforce rules anymore, due to the
now-common meshing topology in place where many systems peer with
many others for an Echomail area. At least one-third of all
systems connecting here are redundant feeds. A moderator kinda
needs to hope and pray that a system distributing an area honours
whatever request is made. Feed cuts are almost impossible. This
kindof explains why Lefaso gets away with murder, Oli is just as pretentious as Bono and Vague "is" vague.
Yes, I understand about the difficulty with enforcement. Seems like
somebody (moderator) could at least *SAY* something to obvious rules
violators such as this guy "Oli", though.
We do have somewhat of a last kick-at-the-can of Echomail
"control" known as an Elist where one can list a moderator,
rules, real names or not, etc. with a central system but I do not
see how its practically enforceable.
There apparently is not a rules file for this echo, unfortunately.
