#415
/* Para. 415- Aliases, not okay */
RULES FOR THE USERS OF THE @001 NETWORK
ALIASES
All users shall use their true names. "Handles" and aliases are
not permitted at any time.
#416
/* Para. 416- Aliases, okay */
RULES FOR THE USERS OF THE @001 NETWORK
ALIASES
Aliases or handles may be used provided that the person's true
name is known by the sysop of the originating BBS system in the
following conferences:
@800
In all other conferences only the true name of the user shall be
used.
#888
CLUTTER
All users should strive to avoid lengthy quotation from other
messages, or use of elaborate art and signatures.
#889
/* Para. 889: No flames */
FLAMES
Users must refrain from "flaming." Flaming consists of name
calling, slurs, ad hominem responses to arguments or other rude
and insulting behavior. Excoriating rhetoric is not permitted.
Profanity is also prohibited. In the event that another user
"flames" users must refrain from replying to or censuring the
party in further messages, since this results in diverting the
flow of the conferences from useful traffic to flames.
In the event that a user is concerned about other's behavior, or
feels that message traffic is a violation of this rule may direct
brief, routed to moderator (non-public) messages to the moderator
of the conference.
#890
/* Para. 890: No flames except in flame rooms */
FLAMES
Users must refrain from "flaming" except in the areas designated
below as "flame rooms." Flaming consists of name calling, slurs,
ad hominem responses to arguments or other rude and insulting
behavior. Excoriating rhetoric is not permitted. Profanity is also
prohibited. In the event that another user "flames" users must
refrain from replying to or censuring the party in further
messages, since this results in diverting the flow of the
conferences from useful traffic to flames.
The following areas are designated as "flame rooms:"
@801
#891
OFFICIAL LANGUAGE
English is the official language of the @001 network. Message
traffic should be in English.
#892
LIMITATIONS ON USE OF NETWORK FOR PROFIT
Other than the limited exceptions stated below traffic for
pecuniary gain is prohibited. Non-commercial users may discuss
sales of items that they own. Businesses may no more than @802
place a brief description of their services in appropriate areas.
In conferences devoted to particular products this rule does not
apply.
#893
"PRIVATE" MESSAGING
The @001 network does not have facilities for "private" messages.
Those requiring secure and private communications should use
alternative means to deliver such communications. Messages in the
administration conference are routed so that only member sysops
and other officials may gain access.
#894
"PRIVATE" MESSAGING
The @001 provides "routed" message traffic, which is a facility
by which messages are designated for delivery to a specific
individual. However, these messages are not ensured of privacy
since the network can not verify compliance by all systems and
can not verify that the internal security of each system is
adequate.
#895
"PRIVATE MESSAGING"
The @001 provides "routed" message traffic, which is a facility
by which messages are designated for delivery to a specific
individual. However, these messages are not ensured of privacy
since the network can not verify compliance by all systems and
can not verify that the internal security of each system is
adequate. Users, may if they desire, send routed messages to
other individuals in encrypted form; however, the user must
assure himself that the coding mechanism used is sufficiently
secure for the purposes of the message. High priority messages
may be more secure if sent by commercial wire.
#896
COPYRIGHT AND RETRANSMISSION OF MESSAGES
The compilation of messages on the @001 network, including input
by users is Copyrighted by the @001 network. Other than brief
excerpts, quoting or retransmission of the message traffic of the
@001 network is prohibited.
#897
BARRING OF USERS
Users may be barred or locked out at the discretion of the
conference moderators and the network administrators. Individual
computer bulletin board systems retain the right to decline to
receive messages traffic from particular individuals in their
discretion. The facilities of the @001 network may not be used
for illegal purposes. The @001 network reserves the right to
temporarily or permanently suspend operations at any time and for
any reason.
PENALTIES FOR VIOLATIONS
The conference moderator is an official appointed by the @001
network who generally "polices" the conference. The moderator
will insure that the spirit and letter of any network regulations
are followed.
Unless a violation is egregious, willful or considered by the
conference moderator to be an imminent threat to the network,
first violators will be warned by routed traffic to desist. Upon
further violations, a user may be placed on probation or
temporarily or permanently barred from the network, or some areas
of the network.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
The @001 network is a non-profit association of volunteers. In
consideration of access to the network, all users waive the right
to make claims of any kind related to the activities of the
network, and assume the risk of all transactions which they
undertake herein. IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT IF MESSAGES ARE
CRITICAL THAT A COMMERCIAL CARRIER BE USED.
RIGHT TO CHANGE
The @001 network may change regulations at any time by publishing
notice of the changes in the affected conferences.

order may provide the contents of any messages, including
"routed" or "encrypted" messages to official authority.
