Sysop Reminder
--SPECIAL MESSAGE--
All WInlink Sysops,
As a Winlink gateway station sysop and licensed operator you must monitor
the traffic moving through your station. By monitoring, you can manage
messages your users might create that violate the terms of your license. We
have noted illegal content rising in recent weeks, especially for US
licensees, where business content that benefits a licensed amateur, profane
language, and certain third-party messages are violations of FCC rules.
Please refresh yourself on your license's transmission content rules.
In case you didn't know, you have access to a sysop-only web app that
lets you view and manage the messages posted or delivered through your
station. Here's how to access it:
Log into the Winlink web site at http://www.winlink.org using the callsign
of your gateway station. Click "My account" and log in. If
you've never done this before, obtain your password as described on
the login page. Once you're logged in click on the link
"Sysop's Message Monitor". This will list all current
messages flowing through your station.
If you find you have received or sent messages with prohibited message
content, follow the suggested actions on the app page. You can review all
Sysop Guidelines at:

Thanks for your generous participation and contributions to the global
Winlink system!
