Intelec International E-Mail Network
Operational Guidelines
Release v1.9 dated 09/01/93
Copyright (c) 1993 DZ-Info Services, Inc.
While it is not the intent of the Administration to interfere with any
SysOps authority on their own board, all Intelec Network participants
must follow these and/or future guidelines. These guidelines are to be
enforced by all Intelec Network member SysOps.
┌───────────────┐
│ General Rules │
└───────────────┘
Illegal activities will not be tolerated in the Intelec Network. Any
such activities constitute a grievous reason for removal from the Net-
work and may necessitate further legal action against the violator for
any legal liabilities such activities may cause.
No Intelec conference may be used for the purpose of advancing a
personal agenda. This includes but is not limited to religious,
political, social, moral agendas. Preaching and campaigning are
considered offenses and can result in suspension from the conference
or the network.
BBS ads are allowed in the BBS_ADS or ANSI conf once per BBS per week.
Obvious "aliases" may not be used anywhere within Intelec conferences.
The use of a `non-obvious' alias is permissible providing the local
sysop knows the true identity of the caller for accountability.
Anyone found to be abusive in nature, such as but not limited to, name
calling, insults, slanderous statements, arrogant or instigative posts
or any other rude, lewd or otherwise obnoxious behavior or comments,
will be dealt with as defined in these guidelines.
The use of any word group of words, expression, comment, suggestion, or
proposal which is profane, filthy, lewd, lascivious, obscene, indecent,
or that is demeaning ethnically or racially is strictly prohibited with
the Intelec Network.
Topics deemed immoral or unethical by the administration of the net-
work are to cease when asked. Topics deemed to be in poor taste must
also cease when asked. Failure to do so can and will result in the
removal of the offender from the Intelec Network.
The Intelec Network, DZ-Info Services, Inc., all member SysOps ass-
ume no liability or accountability whatsoever for any violations of
this policy by any and all participants of the Intelec Network.
ANSI is permitted within the Intelec ANSI or BBS_Ads conferences only.
BBS-Software-specific macros are not permitted for use within Intelec.
Encrypting of messages for any reason is not allowed in any Intelec
conference.
English is the only official network language. The use of other lang-
uages in posts will be viewed as the use of encryption.
Network matters must be discussed in the appropriate Admin conference:
NetAdmin - Network announcements, policy changes and discussion, posts
to the Network Administration. NO idle chit chat is allowed in this
conference. This conference MUST be carried and open to the public by
ALL member systems.
Moderators - This conference is open to member sysops and moderators
ONLY. The purpose of the conference is for discussion of conference
policies and notifications to the Chief Moderator of warnings. This
conference MUST be carried by any member system that has a moderator
based on their system.
User-2-Mod - Public discussion of conference policies, arbitration
(when needed) between participant and moderator. This is a REQUIRED
conference that must be available to the public on every member system.
Regionals - Highly suggested conference for all regional and hub sysops
(only). This conference must NOT be made available to the public.
Signatures may not be more than 3 lines and MUST be limited to a TOTAL
of 80 characters INCLUDING spaces.
`Taglines' may not be more than 1 line and 79 characters at a MAXimum.
No tagline may be used to proselytize, campaign or in any way advance a
personal, moral, political or religious agenda. No tagline may be
worded in such a way that its intent is to demean others. Taglines that
parody a public figure must not be used with malicious intent.
Political or religious statements must be within the appropriate conf-
erence and this includes message headers, text, tags and signatures.
Moderators may only use their `official' tagline or signature in their
respective conference: NetAdmin, Moderators or User-2-Mod.
No signature or tagline from moderators of conferences from any other
network may be used anywhere on the Intelec network.
Quote size is limited to only what's necessary for "train of thought".
Over quoting is annoying and often detracts from the message. Each
conference moderator has the discretionary power to decide what is too
much in the way of quoted material.
Elaborate quoting utilities have been banned from use on this Network.
A `list' of unacceptable words does NOT exist within Intelec. The use
of a word that deemed controversial will be judged on the `intent' of
the person using the word on a case by case basis. Under no
circumstances will the use of obvious profanity be tolerated on the
Intelec Network.
Messages may NOT be `gated' or otherwise made available to any person
currently on suspension from any conference on the network.
