- IOMAG-Net GENERAL GUIDELINES!
-
- Any Network worth It's salt has Rules and we are no exception. We
- are trying to keep the rules to Simple Common Sense. We want the IOMAG-Net
- to be Informational and fun, but not Burdensome.
-
- Conferences are Topic Specific, but we will allow for deviation.
- For example; If someone is Talking Lan systems, in a Lan conference, and a
- user reponds that he has such a system and will sell it for x amount of
- Dollars. This is not an infraction of the rules (Since it "is" Topic
- specific). He will NOT have to go to The "For sale" conference and post.
- This "DOES NOT" mean that conferences can be filled with sales pitches
- or ads. The Key words here are "In the Course of the Conversation."
-
- Since This Network is for all and accessible by all, we do require
- that the language be kept in a -- >"PG"<-- rated mode.
-
- All Net sysops are required to carry the Net administration
- conference. It is for Net sysops Chat, exchange of ideas, and/or questions,
- suggestions for the Net. This conference "MUST" be "PRIVATE" and accessible
- only by Net Sysops and their co-Sysop/s.
-
- There will be no Verbal assults on Individuals or Flaming allowed on
- the net.
-
- We Don't require, but we do request that nodes carry at least 5
- IOMAG-Net conferences.
-
- Aliases are not Permitted (Except in a Designated Conferences)
- <See Conference List, CONF.LST In this Packet>
-
- No illegal acts of "ANY" kind will be permitted on the Net.
-
- Any Dispute that may arise between nodes or hubs will NOT be handled
- in public conferences but will be resolved by the two disputing parties
- and "IF NECESSARY" The IOMAG-Net administrator, whose decisions are Final!
-
- Any Net Sysop knowing of anyone who wants to be a conference
- Moderator and is qualified, should contact the IOMAG-Net Administrator.
-

- HUB RULES

- so designated in the Conf.LST file. We Realize that this is
- not going to please some, but we are resigned to the fact

- 6.Hubs should call all new applicant's BBS, to verify they have
- applied, before giving access to the Net.
-
- 7.Regional Hubs cannot give out Node ID numbers. They will come
- directly from the National Hub once application is recieved.
-
- 8.Any node in constant violation of Network rules or guidelines
- will be given two warnings, after which further violations
- shall be considered Fatal.
-
- 9.Hubs must remove any node from the Network that the Net
- administrator deems in Fatal Violation.

- net, and for the smooth operation and easy transfer of EchoMail.
