CatNet User Rules and Regulations
─────────────────────────────────
Effective: Sunday 12 April 1992
CatNet is a Network of Bulletin Board Services that share common message
conferences, which are echoed between these Bulletin Boards via the Hub.
This Network is a voluntary service provided by participating System
Operators, their respective Bulletin Board Systems, and the CatNet Hub.
Here are the current rules and regulation concerning user participation in
all Network conferences and Network messages.
1. Flaming or similar personal attacks on this Network are prohibited.
Derogatory racial, ethnic, or other such remarks are not allowed.
2. No abusive or offensive language is allowed; and no abusive, offensive
or lewd graphics are allowed.
3. Real names must be used. No ALIASES or HANDLES are allowed in any
Network Conferences, except the "Channel 1" conference.
4. No illegal activities will be tolerated, including but not limited to
PIRACY, PHREAKING, or other CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES.
5. Messages on this network are PUBLIC and accessible to every user on
every node of this network.
PRIVATE messages are available only in the USER-USER conference. While
every effort is made by the network software to correctly route and
protect such private messages, the Network disclaims all responsibility
should these measures fail.
Network Sysops have the ability to monitor ALL messages routed through
their nodes.
6. Messages may be of any length if the matter contained within the message
warrants it. Excessive quoting is not permitted.
7. Messages should be contained within suitable conferences that address
the subject thread.
8. The use of ANSI color signatures is permitted in all Network conferences
provided they do not take up the bulk of a message. ANSI BBS
advertisements are allowed in the BBS_Ads conference. All other ANSI
screens are allowed ONLY in the ANSI/Graphics conference.
9. Any user found to be in violation of any Network rule will be issued a
warning, and/or on the judgement of the CatNet Administrator, be
prevented from accessing any or all Network conferences from ALL Network
nodes.
10. No warranties expressed or implied, are made by the Network or by any
participating nodes regarding the contents or subject matter contained
within Network messages.
