- RULES FOR USE OF The Bermuda Triangle BBS
-
- Firstly, let me say this: These rules are fairly standard for
- most BBSs. There are no surprises, and generally most people
- use common sense and will never have any problems.
-
-
- 1. Swearing will NOT be tolerated.
-
- 2. File leeching will not be tolerated. Be reasonable. This BBS
- is provided for the benefit of all and needs uploads to make
- it a nice place to visit. You get 110 free filepoints (equal
- to 1.1mb of files). Once you have used them you must upload
- if you wish to continue downloading.
-
- 3. Do NOT annoy other users in any way. Annoying behaviour will
- result in a warning then lowering of your security level
-
- 4. Requests for higher access will not be honored, except under
- special circumstances and only by prior arrangement with the
- Sysop or Co-Sysop (This of course excludes donators)
-
- 5. Subscriptions do NOT constitute a contract of any sort between
- yourself and the sysop or Co-Sysop. Endeavour Hills Computer
- Services are not liable for any damage to your system in any
- form even if advised of the possibility.
-
- 6. Access to the XXX GIF area is illegal unless you are over the
- age of 18. False declarations are punishable by law. We will
- not hesitate to pass on such information to the proper authorities
- should such declarations be made.
-
- 7. Use of phone numbers such as 0000000, 90210, names such as Jason
- Priestly, Kylie Minogue etc.. are constituted as false.
- Users giving such details will be deleted immediately. This also
- applies to users who log on using multiple names. The names given
- and all other details will be passed on to other sysops to assist
- in the banning of you on any BBS on which you try to falsify
- yourself.
-
- 8. Uploading of commercial, copyrighted or otherwise protected files
- is absolutely prohibited. This is a criminal offense. Offenders
- will be warned once and then reported to the proper authorities
- if the offense is repeated.
-
- 9. From time to time users may inadvertantly upload commercial or
- copyrighted material. When this happens the Sysop and/or the
- co-sysop will remove such material as quickly as possible, but
- this may take several days. You should allow sufficient time
- for this material to be deleted before taking any action. If you
- see any copyrighted material on this BBS you can help by leaving
- a message to the sysop.
-
- 10. Any attempts at hacking this BBS will result in PERMANENT removal
- from this BBS. I will know if such attempts are made. Names will
- also be passed on to other BBS sysops and the offenders may find
- themselves banned from many BBSs
-
- 11. Please do not logon with more than one name. While this does make
- the user list seem quite large it is really an anti-social method
- of file leeching and appropriate actions will be taken.
-
- 12. You may post messages here for items you wish to sell or buy. You
- may also leave humorous mail. However, what is humorous to you may
- not be humorous to others. Please be considerate.
-
- 13. Users who contribute to this BBS via consistent useful uploads and
- regular message posting and a large number of calls may find that
- their security level is UPGRADED. Whilst paid subscription is a
- preferred upgrade method, good users will be rewarded for their
- efforts.
-
- 14. If you want to page the sysop and there is no response, or you
- page outside paging hours please leave the sysop a message. Do
- not persist with paging if you get no response.
-
- 15. This BBS does not enforce ratios. It uses 'FilePoints'. One F/P
- is equal to 10kb. New users are given 110 file points to begin
- with. Once they are gone you must upload files to gain more F/Ps.
-
- 16. CD-ROM files and VIP file areas are only available to donators,
- and possibly the odd 'good' user that has been upgraded to the
- donator level due to high number of useful uploads etc..
-
- 17. Uploads must conform to the following rules:
-
- (i). They must be no older than Jan 1, 1994
- (ii). If they are GIFs they must be VGA only
- (iii). If they are GIFs they must be color
- (iv). They must not be commercial files or demos of commercial
- programs.
- (v). They must NOT be text or CGA games, unless online BBS games
- (vi). They must NOT promote criminal activity.
- (vii). They must NOT be a renamed copy of a program already on
- the BBS
- (VIII). They must NOT be an older version of a program already on
- the BBS
-
- 18. Since you will be creditted for downloads of files that you uploaded
- it is in your best interests to upload files that others will down-
- load. Once you have used all of your file points you must upload to
- be able to download anything else.
-
- These rules must be adhered to. They are fairly leanient. Use of
- this BBS means that you agree to abide by these rules.
-
- 19. You do NOT have to donate. This is your choice.
-
- 20. Access to QWK is free.
-
- 21. Access to XXX material carries a once a lifetime cost of $5.00 to
- cover subscription costs for importation of adult mail and files
- from overseas. This is an up front charge.
-
- 22. Access to XXX material can only be gained by providing photographic
- proof of age with a signature and a witness. NO EXCEPTIONS WILL BE
- MADE, so do not ask!
