- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- ** Rules of conduct for participation in the DBRIDGE echomail conference **
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- 1. Treat others as you wish to be treated.
-
- 2. No language unacceptable to prime-time television may be used.
-
- 3. The topic of conversation is the D'Bridge EMAIL System and all software
- programs related directly. This includes both technical talk,
- complaints, bug reports and suggestions. Off-topic messages are not
- allowed.
-
- 4. No personal flaming is allowed. I may be reached via NETmail.
- or on my voice line @1-904-377-5415 (I do not accept collect calls<g!>
-
- 5. ONLY the moderator is to respond to off-topic messages or over used
- message threads.
-
- 6. DBRIDGE is open for everyone. You do NOT have to be a DB user to carry or
- post in this echo, as long as your messages are on topic.
-
- 7. If you send a netmail question to me, please poll my system in about 24
- to 30 hours later and pick up your answer. I do not reply direct netmail
- very often; however, I do post the reply and place it on hold for you to
- poll for later. If you wish your question to be answered in either DBRIDGE
- or, if you are a registered user, in DB_TECH, please let me know and I
- will post the reply in that echo.
-
- 8. Please remember that DBRIDGE is one of the top 10 (in volume)
- International echo areas. Test messages are NOT permitted! If you
- see a test message in DBRIDGE, do NOT answer it (except in netmail)
-
- 9. We do allow users to advertise "keys for sale"; however, only under the
- following conditions: you must post the key/kee number and the date/
- time stamp on the key file. You MUST provide prospective buyers the
- above information in order for them to verify that you are the current
- registered owner in our database and will transfer all ownership rights
- and you must inform them that the "lifetime" free update service is not
- included with the sale of the key. This free update policy is vested in
- YOU and may not be transfered or sold to anyone. You must also provide
- a method to contact you direct... either a valid FidoNet node number, or
- if you are a point, a valid voice line number.
-
- 10. The Moderator is the SOLE authority and his/her decissions are final and
- non-appealable. The Moderator will not tolerate ANY flaming of the
- author; although the product is fair game ONCE - If you continue to harp
- on the same problem for over 7 days, you will be asked to take it to
- netmail or suspend yourself from posting in this echo for 30 days.
-
- 11. This is a hobby and D'Bridge is supposed to be part of the fun of the
- telecommunication hobby. Please do not answer off topic messages or
- flames, that makes you more guilty than the originator, since anyone can
- ask a question that is new to them... We don't mind novice's asking
- almost any question; however, we do fault knowledgeable, computer
- literate folks jumping in to tell the novice what a dumb thing that was.
- The Moderater will answer any such questions either in netmail or in the
- echo.
-
- 12. Ownership of a valid D'Bridge license key allows the keyholder to apply
- for acceptance in DB_TECH, our private, non-backbone echo, but does not
- guarantee the users acceptance.
-
- 13. A list of worldwide sales/service sites is published every Thursday
- evening to coinside with the weekly nodediff. DBNET is ZIPPED so the
- first DBNET this year was DBNET.Z01 (DBNET.001) - we endevor to keep the
- phone numners accurate as well as any special service.
-
- 14. The Moderator shall serve at the moderators' pleasure.
-
- 15. From time to time new POLICY will be published in DBNET as well as
- posted in the echo(s).
-
-
- Simple rules are easy to live by. Please help us keep the DBRIDGE echo on the
- FidoNet Backbone!
