GamesNet Policy
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 - Previous Policies
---------------------
a) Previous policies are hereby declared null and void.
2 - Membership of GamesNet
--------------------------
a) HOSTS can only be appointed by one the members of GamesNet HQ.
b) Any HOST or HUB is authorised to issue nodenumbers to new nodes
and to connect them to the Network.
He does have the obligation however to report this to GamesNet HQ
within the shortest possible delay, using the appropriate application
form.
Furthermore, a 'Segment Update' has to be forwarded to the Nodelist
Coordinator.
c) Any HOST also has the right to appoint HUBS.
d) Anyone can, in principle, become a node in GamesNet. However, the
HQ reserves to right to deny someone access without having to
state his/her reasons.
e) Points are allowed in GamesNet but need to fill in the application
form (POINT.AAN) and subsequently send this to the Nodelist
Coordinator. Please rename this form to YOUR_NAME.FRM.
3 - Polling
-----------
a) Every HOST is obliged to send and pick up mail at least once every
24 hours.
HUBS and NODES are obliged to send and pick up mail at least three
times a week, unless some other arrangement has been made with
their uplink.
b) Every HOST/HUB has the right to delete mail packets that still have not
been picked up after two weeks.
4 - The functioning of HOST/HUB/NODES
-------------------------------------
Sub1 - Hosts/Hubs
a) Every Host/Hub is obliged to make the Info-file and Policy freely
available on their BBS for downloading.
b) The latest Policy should ALWAYS be passed on to Downlinks.
c) A Host/Hub is obliged to carry ALL of the GamesNet echomail-areas
and pass these on to their downlinks. These areas can be made
'pass-through'.
d) A Host is responsible for his own 'Nodelist Segment'. Any changes in
this segment will mean that the Host has to forward his particular
segment, including changes, to the Nodelist Coordinator.
Any requests from third parties for changes will not be processed.
Third parties should address their Host/Hub for any change requests..
e) A Host/Hub is not allowed to pass on the echomail-areas
HQ<>HOST<>HUB.100 and HQ<>RC<>HOST.100 to downlinks that don't act as
such.
f) Hosts and Hubs can use their own discretion as to which file areas they
wish to carry. We do advise them to consult their downlinks first.
Sub2 - Nodes/points
a) Sysops in GamesNet are expected to inform their GamesNet users of
the GamesNet rules.
b) Nodes in GamesNet are obliged to carry the areas SYSOP_NL.100 and
SYSOP_ENG.100, since those areas will be used to announce any
changes.
c) Points can NOT be connected to any of the SYSOP-areas.
5 - Moderators
--------------
a) Moderators can only be appointed by the HQ members.
b) Moderators will supervise their allocated area and watch out for
messages that are in violation with this Policy.
c) Rulings of moderators, sent to nodes, have to be adhered to
unconditionally and if further 'violations' occur, the moderator can
have the node disconnected of that particular area.
d) Any further discussions about messages by moderators and expulsions are
not allowed.
e) In the case of differences of opinion between moderator and node,
the HQ members will cast the deciding vote. Their decision is therefore
final and binding.
f) When the functioning of a particular moderator becomes
questionable, the HQ or Coordinator has the right to relieve this
moderator of his duties.
g) A moderator will have at least a Point-number within GamesNet.
h) All moderators need to be connected to the area MODERATOR.100 in
which carboncopies will be placed of those messages of users/nodes
that are 'in violation'. Should these violations continue, this
person will be expelled from GamesNet.
6 - Echomail-areas
------------------
a) We expect everyone to express himself in a correct manner.
Cursing, calling names, arguing etc. do not enhance the
informative nature of the Network. Should, after a warning, someone
still decide not to change his behaviour, expulsion from GamesNet will
be forthwith.
b) Offering and/or copying (C) software is prohibited by law and
therefore not allowed within GamesNet.
c) Submitting messages that lead to the direct or indirect exchange
of (C) software are not allowed.
d) GamesNet's primary aim is the exchange of experience and
information relating to Games and their use. Try and stick to
this!
e) 'Chatting' about non-game topics is allowed but ONLY in the
appropriate areas.
f) Copying and/or forwarding messages to another Echomail Network is
not allowed without the express permission of the HQ.
g) GamesNet has 1 (one) test-area. We therefore ask people NOT to
test in other areas.
h) Advertising in GamesNet in any form is not permitted. Neither are
messages allowed like 'Call my BBS' or 'I have some games to sell,
who's interested in buying?'
i) In GamesNet areas, the use of an alias is allowed. However, in
SYSOP_NL.100, SYSOP_ENG.100 and HQ<>HOST<>HUB.100, the use of an
alias is NOT allowed.
j) When writing messages in any area, first check the language used
in that area. So no dutch in english areas, and vice-versa.
k) ALLFIX.100 is only to be used for file-searching. One can use
Allfix, James or any other suitable file-robot for this.
Handwritten messages are NOT allowed, except for messages by the
moderator.
l) All messages written in GamesNet areas should carry the GamesNet
nodenumber of the sending system (100:*, 222:*, 223:*)
m) When answering a message, please do NOT 'quote' the whole message but
ONLY the part you want to react to.
n) HATCH.100 is an area that will be used for annoucements of the files
distributed by the Network. ONLY the HQ members will be allowed to
write these messages.
7 - File-areas
--------------
a) It is forbidden to automatically forward files, initially
distributed by GamesNet, to any BBS that is not a member of
GamesNet.
b) All files that are distributed by GamesNet will be announced in
the read-only area: HATCH.100
8 - Barren Realms Elite DoorGame. (BRE)
---------------------------------------
a) Only GamesNet nodes are allowed to join the GamesNet BRE league.
b) Requests by the BRE Coordinator (Erik Coolen) to the participating
nodes concerning the functioning of the BRE league, should be complied
with unconditionally.
9 - Node/pointnumber applications
---------------------------------
a) As was stated before in Article 2, any HOST or HUB is authorised
to issue nodenumbers to a new node.
This can only be done after the completion and forwarding of the
application form.
b) Applications by points will have to be made at the BBS where
he/she wants to become a point. Points will need to fill in the
application form for points, POINTS.AAN
The node will have forward this form to the Nodelist Coordinator.
c) People that have been unable to find a HUB/HOST can forward their
application to one of the GamesNet HQ members.
Eventually you will receive word back through your BBS or mailer.
Should you not have your own BBS or mailer, it would be best to call
the BBS you applied with within the next 24 hours.
9 - Problems. (Who needs them...)
---------------------------------
a) In case of doubt or competence as to the application of the above
rules, and in any dispute between users and users, sysops and sysops,
sysops and users etc., the GamesNet HQ will have the deciding vote.
Their decision is therefore binding and precludes any further
discussions.
b) Please advise your HOST if you regularly experience problems when
picking up your mail.
10 - Finally...
---------------
a) We expect everyone to abide by these rules. In case of abuse or
misconduct, the person involved will have to account for himself
and could face serious consequences.
