                            HUB INFORMATION PACKET!

      Thanks for your Interest in Becoming a HUB for SeekNet. As a HUB
there are a few Rules that must be maintained for the smooth flow of mail
through the System. First of All, be aware that The Network can handle either
.qwk or fido type mail packets. If there is a BBS that seeks to be a part of
SeekNet but can't use the .qwk system, Please direct them to get their mail
from Andy's Attic, our regional HUB in Liberty, Mo. (816)-792-4890


                           GENERAL GUIDELINES!
       Any Network worth It's salt has Rules and we are no exception. We
are trying to keep the rules to Simple Common Sense ones. We want the Net
to be Informational and fun, but not Burdensome.
       Conferences are Topic Specific, but we will allow for deviation.
For example; If someone is Talking Lan systems, in a Lan conference, and a
user reponds that he has such a system and will sell it for x amount of
Dollars. This is not an infraction of the rules (Since it "is" Topic
specific). He will NOT have to go to The "For sale" conference and post.
This "DOES NOT" mean that conferences can be filled with sales pitches
or ads from Dealers that hit like a hammer. The Key words here are Good
taste, and Overkill!
       Since This Network is for all and accessible by all, we do require
that the language be kept in a -- >"PG"<-- rated mode.
       All Net sysops are required to carry the Net administration
conference. It is for Net sysops Chat, exchange of ideas, and/or questions,
suggestions for the Net. This conference "MUST" be "PRIVATE" and accessible
only by Net Sysops and their co-Sysop/s.
       There will be no Verbal assults on Individuals or Flaming allowed on
the net.
       We Don't require, but we do request that nodes carry at least 5
SeekNet conferences.
       Aliases are not Permitted (Except in a Designated Conferences)
           <Currently, There are none>
       No illegal acts of "ANY" kind will be permitted on The Net.
       Any Dispute that may arise between nodes or hubs will NOT be handled
in public conferences but will be resolved by the two disputing parties
and "IF NECESSARY" The SeekNet administrator, whose decisions are Final!
       Any Net Sysop knowing of anyone who wants to host a conference and
is qualified should contact the SeekNet administrator.

             -------------------------------------------------


   We are Looking for HUBS. Anyone interested must meet following
requirements.
     1.Must have a High speed Modem
     2.Must Echo to at least Two Other BBSs
     3.Must not be in the Immediate area of another Hub.
     4.Should make mail runs to The national Hub at least once a day,
        barring Emergencies.

                             HUB RULES
     1.ABSOLOUTLY NO Handles allowed in the Net. We Realize that this is
        not going to please some, but we are resigned to the fact
        that you can't please everyone! It is the Hubs responsibility
        to do his/Her best to make sure His Board and nodes under Him
        comply with this rule!
     2.All New Conferences to be added to the Net must have the Approval
        of The SeekNet Administrator (Anthony Phillips). All Network Nodes
        may request additional conferences by leaving mail in the Net
        administration conference.
     3.All Regional Hubs adding new Nodes, must forward their applications
        to the National Hub on the next available mail run through private
        mail via the Hubs conference. (Please notify us When a Node is
        no longer a part os SeekNet)
     5.All mail to the Administration concerning Hub activities, Disputes
        or Nodes should come through the Hubs conference.
     6.Hubs should make sure that New Nodes have their SeekNet origin
        taglines in working order.
     7.Hubs should call to verify any new node application before
        processing.
     8.Regional Hubs cannot give out Node ID numbers. They will come
        directly from the National Hub once application is recieved.
     9.Any node in constant violation of Network rules or guidelines
        will be given two warnings, after which further violations
        shall be considered Fatal.
     10.Hubs must remove any node from the Network that the Net
        administrator deems in Fatal Violation.
     11.Hubs should do their best to make sure all nodes under them
        follow the Rules and guidelines of SeekNet.
     12.Hubs should Keep a "CURRENT" SeekNet Information file (SeekNet.zip)
        available for Download from his BBS. (Let's spread the word
        and grow Together)

   These rules are not burdensome but are required to keep control in the
   net, and for the smooth operation and easy transfer of EchoMail.
   Interested Parties should leave mail at the Seeker's Place BBS
   indicating that they have read the HubRules and agree to the guidelines
   set forth. Thanks again for your Interest in becoming a Hub for SeekNet!
