�Conference Rules�
����������������;
� No Personal Attacks or insults
Please, don't go around insulting someone just because you don't agree
with them. If you feel you must argue with someone, argue the topic,
don't insult someone. Remember, that just because someone likes
something you don't, it's no reason to insult them.
� No Vulgar Language
This is a family network, so keep the dirty language out of the messages.
Also, masking part of a word with other characters does not make it
acceptable material for posting.
� Do not behave in a disruptive fashion
� No "TEST" messages
Please do not use this conference for "test" messages, saying "This is a
test, let me know if you get this". There are other conferences for that,
you don't need this one to do it in. If you see one of these, DO NOT
reply to them; as it's a further waste of bandwith.
� Don't over-quote
Don't quote a whole bunch of text just to add something like "I agree",
or an emotion. Echomail has to be paid for by a lot of people, and
only quoting the section you must in order to get your point across will
be appreciated by a far lot more people than you think. Please do not
quote entire messages, with origin, tear, taglines. In other words,
say more than you repeat.
� Encryption
Encryption, for any reason, is prohibited in this conference. This also
includes UUENCODED messages. Please contact the moderator in Netmail
first before posting UUENCODED messages/files.
� Stay on-topic
All messages must ahere to the topic of the conference.
� Mind the Moderator/Conference Host
There seems to be a trend these days to just wildly disregard topics, and
just say whatever you want. Please, try and keep on topic here, and if
you do go off topic, you'll get a message from the Moderator. Moderator
messages are sent via a private routed message. The Moderator doesn't
like taking restrictive action against people, since it's a big pain in
the butt to do things like that, but that type of action will be taken if
you go wildly off-topic, and do not respect the wishes of the conference
moderator/Conference Host.
� Gating the conference
It is against the rules of RaceNet to gate any conferences into other
networks without first obtaining permission from network administrator,
Bob Watson. He can be reached at 7223:2300/101 or [EMAIL PROTECTED]
There is no "free speech" or "1st amendment rights" in RaceNet.
RaceNet has a number of rules that apply throughout the entire network.
It is asked that all users observe these rules at all times, and to
promptly and courteously cooperate with the RaceNet Conference Host
whenever they are asked to do something. You may find an official
listing of RaceNet's rules on your local BBS under the file name RACENET1.ZIP.
That's pretty much it. If you have any questions or problems, send me some
Netmail. Otherwise, sit back and enjoy meeting all sorts of interesting and
nice people. And above all, have fun.
