The following document [cc-sysop.txt] is to be read in addition to
the CALVARY GUIDELINES by all prospective CalvaryNet HUBS and NODES.
====================================================================
GRAPH SHOWING THE CALVARY NETWORK SYSTEM AND ADMINISTRATION.
I. Operational Layout
------------------
CalvaryNet is a Computer Ministry of Calvary Chapel Oceanside as
well as an Authorized Computer Ministry of Calvary Chapel for
participating Calvary Chapel BBS systems. Any APPROVED Calvary
Chapel BBS can act as a relay point for any other APPROVED
Calvary Chapel BBS system. This provides cost effective
transferring of mail whenever possible.

The Brethren Fellowshiping
on CalvaryNet
--------------------------
* Network concerns must be relayed through John Scudder than
Calvary Chapel or Affiliate Church's. This will ensure that
your concerns are received and given attention.
II. Policies and Procedures: {Reading CCPOLICY.TXT is mandatory}
-----------------------
For Communication Policies regarding ALL users on CalvaryNet,
please refer to the CCPOLICY.TXT file "CalvaryNet Guidelines".
NOTE: IMPORTANT:
The use of Aliases on CalvaryNet are absolutely prohibited.
If you run a BBS, attend Calvary, and want to Relay the
CalvaryNet conferences... but allow Aliases on your BBS,
you will have to devise a way to where the users on your
system are forced to use their REAL NAMES when accessing
the CalvaryNet Conferences.
The reason is to enhance fellowship in Christ with REAL
interaction... {knowing who you are indeed talking to}
as well as providing a means of accountability.
APPLICATIONS FOR CALVARYNET RELAY:
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
* Applications for CalvaryNet Relay should be sent to via
E-MAIL to John.Scudder@Kandy.Com or via U.S. Postal Service
to:
The Shepherd's Flock BBS
John and Kara Scudder
822 Masters Drive
Oceanside, CA. 92057-6233
Note: Currently, we are only allowing Calvary Chapel and Affiliate
Church Sysops to Relay CalvaryNet. If you do not attend
Calvary Chapel or an Affiliate Church, please do not be
offended if your application for relay is denied. We would be
blessed by your fellowship in Christ on CalvaryNet regardless
of whether you relay as a Sysop or just participate as one of
the brethren in the Lord.
* The Network message base will not be used to discuss application
disapproval for any individual. Such will be done privately and
confidentially with the involved parties. *
NETWORK and CONFERENCE USAGE:
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
CalvaryNet is structured to allow all Christians an avenue for
Fellowship and Information Exchange. However, the Focus for
CalvaryNet is Calvary Chapel and Affiliate Church fellowship.
Please follow these guidelines when operating a Calvary Chapel
Computer Ministry: CalvaryNet on your BBS or in your communications
regarding this network:
1. CalvaryNet is relayed via QWK Mail packets. We are checking
into the possibilities of utilizing the Internet to some
extent, but nothing is being carried out at this time.
We have also contemplated FIDO transfers, yet further
research is necessary in for that method of mail transfer
as well. Thus, only QWK Packets are authorized for
CalvaryNet Relay at this time.
2. CalvaryNet is open to THE COMMUNITY {all} for fellowship and
information exchange. It is required that all individuals
that will have an avenue to CalvaryNet on your respective
BBS's be presented with the CalvaryNet Guidelines prior
to their access. We want them to know of our strict "brother
to brother" relations BEFORE they engage in fellowship on
CalvaryNet. Thus, please post the CCPOLICY.TXT file either on
their initial registration to the BBS or as a system bulletin.
3. Only Calvary Chapel or Affiliate Churches BBS SYSOPS will are
authorized to relay CalvaryNet with the following EXCEPTIONS:
The Kandy Shack BBS in Garden Grove California
4. Approved Calvary Chapel and affiliate Church BBS's can post BBS
ADs in CC-BBS only. Posting BBS Ads for Non-Calvary related BBS
systems is not permitted on CalvaryNet.
CONFERENCE SPECIFIC GUIDELINES
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-
1. Address all Network problems in the CC-ADMIN Conference. Please
do not discuss Network Administrative Business in any other
CalvaryNet Conferneces.
2. It is required that ALL HUBS and NODES Carry ALL CalvaryNet
Conferences with the following exceptions:
CC-PASTOR {This conference will be relayed only by those BBS's
that have and active Calvary Chapel or Affiliate Pastor
on CalvaryNet. SEE CC-PASTOR Conference specific
guidelines later in this text}.
3. All CC BBS Sysops wishing to discontinue CalvaryNet relays
should give at least 2 weeks notice to the Network Administrator
(John Scudder). Special considerations will be taken on a case
by case basis.
4. All CalvaryNet CC BBS Systems must relay at least 3 times a week
unless pre-approved by the Network Administrator. Relaying less
than 3 times a week does not allow for good communication
between users sending and receiving messages. Relaying less
than 3 times a week does not keep the CC BBS Sysop up to date on
important messages that my be placed in 4HisGlory or CC-ADMIN.
5. Real Names are required of the users on CalvaryNet. If your
BBS allows "Handles" or other such alterations from actual
user names, you will have to devise a way so that their real
name is used when accessing a Calvary Chapel Conference.
6. It is the responsibility of each CalvaryNet BBS Sysop to
"police" their own BBS for inappropriate conduct on CalvaryNet.
Please make the CCPOLICY.TXT file "CalvaryNet Guidelines"
readily available to all your users BEFORE they are given
access to CalvaryNet.
Specific Guidelines for the CC-PASTOR CONFERENCE
================================================
1. A Calvary Chapel or affiliate Church BBS must have either an
active Pastor or an active Pastor Secretary communicating on
CalvaryNet to have NetStatus and/or Relay Access to CC-PASTOR.
If a BBS is being set up for a Calvary Chapel Church or
affiliate, they will automatically have NetStatus access to the
CC-PASTOR conference.
Rational:
This allows for more private communication for Calvary
Chapel Pastors and also allows for more "security" in their
communication on CalvaryNet.
2. The Network Administrator, or assigned person by the Network
Administrator, will post the CCPASTOR.TXT file on CC-PASTOR
at least once a month and whenever there is an addition to
the CalvaryNet Pastor Access.
Rational:
This keeps the Pastors informed as to who they may communicate
with via CC-PASTOR, and who to contact regarding pending
CalvaryNet mail.
3. Pastor Secretaries will be listed in the CCPASTOR.TXT file
along side the residing pastor's name, properly identifying
each.
Rational:
This allows the Pastors to be aware of "who" may be taking
mail or receiving messages for a particular CC Pastor.
PASTOR SECRETARY GUIDELINES FOR CC-PASTOR CONFERENCE USE:
=========================================================
A CalvaryNet Pastor Secretary is an individual directly and
personally authorized by a Calvary Chapel or Affiliate Church
pastor to communicate in the CC-PASTOR on their behalf.
A. The Pastor authorizing such access by a "secretary" must
write or notify in some manner either Pastor John Brown
(the CC-PASTOR Conference Moderator) or the Network
Administrator (John Scudder) informing them that this
access and personal representation is approved.
B. The Secretary must format their message in the following
manner:
Example using Susan Golden as the CalvaryNet Secretary
for Pastor Pat Lazovich of Calvary Chapel Hereford AZ.
EXAMPLE FOLLOWS:
This message is posted by Susan Golden of Calvary Chapel
Hereford Arizona for Pastor Pat Lazovich.
{one line separator}
{LETTER or MESSAGE CONTENT HERE}
{one line separator}
Sincerely,
Susan Golden
CalvaryNet Secretary for Pastor Pat Lazovich
C. The approved Secretary can receive and send mail in the
same manner a pastor can in representation of their pastor.
The CC BBS that the Secretary frequents will have NetStatus
Access to CC-PASTOR.
D. If a Secretary is directed to communicate to another pastor
in the CC-PASTOR's Conference, he/she should first notify
the pastor to receive information that mail will be waiting for
them on CalvaryNet's CC-PASTOR Conference.
Rational: Some pastors do not frequently monitor CC-PASTOR
not CalvaryNet in general. Pre-Notification to a Pastor
that is about to receive mail/computer generated text/
formatted documents, UUENCODED mail will ensure that such
a pastor not only receives this mail, but will also help
to alert such a pastor that they may expect mail on
CalvaryNet's CC-PASTOR conference in the future.
A. RESPONSIBILITIES OF ALL RELAYING CALVARYNET BBS'S
--------------------------------------------------
All Calvary Chapel BBS SYSOPS interacting with The Shepherd's FLock
and other Calvary Chapel Computer Ministry BBS's carrying CalvaryNet
are responsible for the following:
1. Reading and responding to relevant messages in the CC-ADMIN
conference on a regular basis.
2. Maintaining the integrity of the CALVARYNET by not allowing
users to abuse the nature of this net. The CalvaryNet will
not tolerate PROFANITY, ABUSIVE LANGUAGE, PERSONAL ATTACKS,
OR BASHING. BBS SYSOP's are expected to monitor there users
and will take action against the user who violates this
policy when requested (i.e. remove from BBS, not allow access
to CALVARYNET conferences, etc.).
3. Distribution of CalvaryNet conference mail to other BBS's is
prohibited unless approved by the Network Administrator:
4. Since CalvaryNet is a Ministry of Calvary Chapel and
Affiliates World Wide, and althought we allow ALL to interact
on CalvaryNet, we request that you do not use CalvaryNet to
advertise other Networks, as the focus of CalvaryNet is
Calvary. Thanks!
All CC BBS's receiving applications for CalvaryNet relay are
responsible for relaying such applications to the Network
Administrator in a timely manner.
NETWORK TAGLINES:
-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-
All TAGLINES will be required to be in the following format:
a. Export Taglines
CalvaryNet * Your BBS Name * Your City, State * (XXX) xxx-xxxx
b. Import Taglines
CalvaryNet * The Shepherd's Flock BBS: Oceanside, CA (619) 630-7437
c. ALL MESSAGE TAGLINES MUST GIVE GLORY TO GOD. Further information
regarding message taglines can be found in the CCPOLICY.TXT file.
B. RULES THAT YOU ARE REQUIRED TO PRESENT TO YOUR CALLERS
------------------------------------------------------
{REFER TO CCPOLICY.TXT: CalvaryNet Guidelines}
C. Sysop interaction on CALVARYNET
-------------------------------
CalvaryNet is a growing new Calvary Chapel Computer Ministry
Network, and is very "in tune' the the Calvary Chapel "needs".
It is the desire of the Network Administrators that Calvary
Sysops be as involved as much as possible in many decision making
processes. Final decisions are made by the Network Administrators.
============+++++++=======================
CalvaryNet Conference Setup "At a Glance":
============+++++++=======================
1. It is required for ALL CC BBS's Relaying CalvaryNet to carry ALL
CalvaryNet Specific Conferences. Important files (the CALV
Information files) will be relayed to the Sysops via CC-FILES in
UUENCODE format. Software is available to assist you in decoding
and then utilizing CalvaryNet information provided you in this
conference. Please check CC-FILES for important CALV information
distribution.
2. All CalvaryNet conferences must be set to FORCE ECHO.. or.. FORCE
NETWORK SEND if at all possible. That means that the users should
not be asked if they want their message sent over the net... it
should be automatic.
3. All CalvaryNet Conferences should be set to DISALLOW PRIVATE
MESSAGES if at all possible. Only public messages are allowed
on CalvaryNet. Please ensure you provide the CC-SUPPORT intro
screen somehow so your users can see what pastors they can
directly access.
4. All CalvaryNet Conferences should have the CARBON COPY option
turned off or disallowed if at all possible. Since the
CalvaryNet Conferences are public conferences, carbon copies
only increase the message packet size which is not desirable.
5. Aliases are NOT permitted whatsoever. We get a new name.. one
that pleases God... when we are with Jesus. Until then... let's
use ONLY our REAL NAMES {chuckle}.
6. It is mandatory that the CCPOLICY.TXT statement be presented to
the users before they have access to CalvaryNet. That way, they
are informed of the behaviors that are expected of them. Please
post the UPDATED copy of CCPOLICY.TXT when it is posted in the
CC-ADMIN conf.
7. All users on a BBS can access CalvaryNet. Although it is a Calvary
Chapel Computer Ministry, it is also open to the public. However,
from this point on, only Calvary Chapel and affiliate Sysops will
be given permission to relay CalvaryNet. This greatly helps with
the monitoring of the conferences with regards to those behaviors
that are consistant with the CCPOLICY.TXT file and the Calvary Chapel
focus.
8. See Below for more indepth info on the CalvaryNet Conferences as well
as those CalvaryNet Conferences that have RESTRICTED ACCESS.
Additional CalvaryNet Conference Information:
1. 4HisGlory is a restricted conference for Pastor and
CC Sysop interaction regarding the "structure" and
"focus" of CalvaryNet. Discussion, Prayer, and
contemplation take place here to direct CavlaryNet
for His Glory and His Service regarding the fellowship
and information exchange on CalvaryNet. This allows
for Sysop and Pastor input, however, it is the
HOST Network Administrator who (in prayer) will make the
final administative decision regarding network changes.
2. CC-PASTOR is highly restricted. Only Calvary Chapel
Pastors active on CalvaryNet will have access to this
conference. This is a "meeting place" for CC Pastors,
apart from the general network mail traffic. Only
CC BBS's with active CC Pastors on CalvaryNet will
have Relay Access.
3. CC-SUPPORT is now a PUBLIC conference where CalvaryNet users
can message specific Calvary Chapel pastors (as listed in the
CC-Support introduction screen) for pastoral support. Please
make this a PUBLIC MAIL ONLY conference if at all possible.
4. Each CC BBS should add a CALVARYNET conference to their
CalvaryNet Conference lineup. This conference is a private
conference where that sysop can communicate with the Network
Administrator apart from the general CalvaryNet Mail. Sysops
who are relaying off of a particular CC BBS and not The
Shepherd's Flock BBS should STILL have this conference set up
even if the contents will be semi-private. This will allow the
Network Administrator to address network concerns for different
sectors of the nation without alerting the entire network.
MOST OF ALL.. May God's light shine upon you, and may you find great
rest in the hope and promises of Jesus Christ. AMEN.. COME LORD JESUS!
