Official Rules of the International LOVE_&_MARRIAGE Conference
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
~ Version 2.02 (December 14, 1997)
These are the official rules of the International LOVE_&_MARRIAGE
Conference, and constitute the file LUV&MARR.RUL. English is the
official language of the conference, however other languages are
allowed since we recognize that not everyone speaks English.
Lines with the '|' symbol in front of them have been added since
the last version of this rules file. Lines with the '~' symbol
have been modified since the last version of this rules file.
Lines that have been deleted or moved are not indicated.
Please visit the LOVE_&_MARRIAGE Conference homepage on the
Internet
at http://www.geocities.com/paris/9511/index.html. If you have
something you would like to contribute to make this website
better,
please do so. You can send html code, graphics, or links to my
~ e-mail address at cybrdave@fgi.net. The web site will be moving
to
| http://www.fgi.net/~cybrdave very soon. Keep watching for it.
This is the LOVE_&_MARRIAGE Conference. The purpose of the Echo
is
to provide a place to discuss issues of relevance to couples,
whether married, engaged, dating, or just in love. There is no
age
limit to being in love, and thus there is no age limit in this
conference. Discussion also provides for topics of divorce,
separation and issues resulting from such.
This is NOT an ADULT Conference. Please refrain from posting
messages that are not appropriate for children to view. This
conference should be considered rated PG-13. We ask that smaller
children do not have access to it as some topics may be a little
strong for children under the age of 13.
This is a discussional Echo with a few rules. Those few rules are:
1. Stay on-topic. Topics relevant to dating and/or married couples
are
on topic. The Moderators may also allow other related discussion
to
take place provided things do not get out of hand.
2. No profanity allowed, if you must use that type of language, take
it
somewhere where it will be welcomed, and that somewhere is not
here.
Profanity is defined by the Moderator on this conference.
Profanity
includes frank or graphic descriptions of sexual acts, procedures,
or fetishes, and also includes foul or harsh language, swear
words,
cussing and generally having a potty mouth. If you wish to have
that type of discussion, please use netmail or another conference.
3. This is NOT a forum for posters to argue with one another.
Rather,
this is a discussional echo, and a place to seek advice from other
couples who may have already dealt with the kind of problems you
are
facing in your relationship. If things erupt into nothing more
than
bickering, you will be asked to move your conversation elsewhere.
4. No personal attacks, name-calling, slurs or innuendo should be
directed at any other poster in this conference. Name-calling is
petty and slandering someone's name is strictly forbidden, and
will
be dealt with harshly. This conference is designed to help
couples
and is not a forum where uses can further destroy their
relationships. Name-calling and other such personal attacks do
nothing to build up one's self-esteem, and won't be tolerated.
5. It is very possible, in fact probable that in a group of people,
several will have irreconcilable differences of opinion, and that
in
those cases, we must agree to disagree, and then drop the
discussion
between us in order to not escalate into a flame war. It is
possible
to disagree, but let us not become disagreeable.
6. This Echo may be traveling around the world so try to be concise.
Avoid excessive quoting for one-liner responses.
7. The Moderators will deal with off-topic traffic. Don't respond for
them. Links to this Echo will only be curtailed when absolutely
necessary so please don't make it necessary.
The following systems/individuals have had their links to this
conference suspended for the period specified. Please ignore any
messages from these systems/individuals if they continue to post
in
the conference:
System/Individual Fido Address Term of Suspension

Chamber Secrets BBS 1:207/602 Permanent
Joe Ivans 1:3404/143 Permanent
Dragon's Lair BBS 1:3404/143 Permanent

8. Modification of these rules as necessary will be handled by the
moderators, and your input will be considered, but please submit
said input via NetMail, as discussion of these rules in the echo
is
off topic. In addition objections to moderator warnings MUST be
taken to netmail or Internet e-mail.
9. Aliases are allowed, but if this is abused, user's will be asked
to
use their real name. We recognize that some topics of discussion
may be sensitive enough that you do not wish for your real
identity
to be revealed. Therefore, provided that this rule is not abused,
aliases are welcome in the LOVE_&_MARRIAGE Conference.
10. No advertisements or announcements are allowed without prior
moderator consent. Please request such consent via netmail or
internet e-mail.
11. This conference may not be gated into any other network without
the express written permission of the Moderator.
12. Religion is off topic in this conference, except as it relates to
love, marriage, and dating. Even then any debate that takes place
should not be excessive. This is NOT a religious debate
conference.
Understand that many people have many varied religious beliefs,
and
many are athiests. This conference and the moderators treat all
religions equally and respect ALL religious beliefs. If you have
a
problem with someone's religious belief, take it to netmail. If
you
want to discuss issues relating to love, marriage and dating that
also involve religious practices, feel free, but be careful not to
let religious debate dominate the argument. I recommend HOLYSMOKE
as a suitable conference alternative for debating religion.
13. The following are not necessarily rules, but are guidelines to
assist
you in maximizing your use of this conference:
a) No private flagged messages. In Echomail they won't show
as
private anyway as echomail is always posted publicly.
b) No test messages. They just clutter up the place.
c) No ANSI or HIGH ASCII characters. Some platforms don't
like
them and others may not be able to interpret your message.
d) No message longer than 90 lines or 14kb in size. Some
older software chokes on longer messages, and your message
may not make it all the way through the network.
f) DO submit to the Moderator a picture of you and a profile
of
you for the purpose of posting on the LOVE_&_MARRIAGE web
site. I intend to expand this site, and would like to be
able to list the participants of the conference, if you
want
to be listed.
14. The Moderator is Dave Wright and can be netmailed at 1:233/24 by
~ ROUTED NETMAIL ONLY, or by internet e-mail at cybrdave@fgi.net
or d_wright@juno.com. The Co-Moderator is Jerry Gresham at
1:123/17
and can be reached by CRASH or ROUTED NETMAIL, and can also be
reached via Internet e-mail at jerry.gresham@mrzips.netten.net.
