                               ³Conference Rules³
                               ÔÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ;

þ 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.

þ 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.

þ Do not behave in a disruptive fashion

þ No "TEST" messages
     Please do not use this conference for "test" messages,
saying "This is a
     test, let me know if you get this".  RN_TEST is used 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.

þ 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  Please do not
     quote entire messages, with origin, tear, taglines.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.

þ 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.

þ Stay on-topic
      All messages must ahere to the topic of the conference.

þ 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.

þ Gating the conference
      It is against the rules of RaceNet(tm) 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 bwatson{at}nerc.com.

There is no "free speech" or "1st amendment rights" in
RaceNet(tm).
RaceNet(tm) 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(tm) Conference Host
whenever they are asked to do something.  You may find an official
listing of RaceNet(tm)'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.

Bob Watson
