The Whats, Whys, and Rules of R.I.P.Net
=========================================================================
R.I.P.Net is a front end & QWK-based Network devoted to Science
Fiction, Horror, Fantasy and Roleplaying Games. It is open to all ages
and there are no adult conferences. Aliases are encouraged in the majority
of the conferences to allow users to be able to share their thoughts and
ideas while still remaining somewhat anonymous.
Because this is an all-ages Network, there are rules that must be
followed, and are outlined below.
We hope you enjoy this Network and find it educational as well as
entertaining.
NET COORDINATORS:
DIZZY LONGTONGUE
KENDERMORE BBS 413-736-0613
INTERNET ADDRESS: DIZZY LONGT @AOL.COM
R.I.P.Net MAILING ADDRESS:
KENDERMORE BBS
203 EL PASO ST
SPRINGFIELD, MA. 01104
=========================================================================
Sysop/Moderator Rules & Rights
1. The following conferences: Admin, Sysops, Moderators, are required.
All three conferences REQUIRE REAL NAMES (aliases are NOT allowed here)
A. Admin is open to (and required for) Administrators and Sysops
and is a READ ONLY conference.
B. Sysops is open to Net sysops and above only

2. Make sure all users are following the rules.
A. Users breaking the rules are given 3 chances to stop
B. After the third offense, remove their access from all R.I.P.Net
conferences.
C. If the offender is not a user on your board, report the problem
to a Net Coordinator or your Hub. (Hubs will forward the
grievances to the Net Coordinators for disciplinary action.)
D. Use your own discression when disciplining offenders. Sysops have
say as to what actions are tolerated on their particular BBS.

that topic
4. Aliases are encouraged
A. You may use an alias in the open conferences if you wish (and if
your board sysop allows it)
B. The alias must be in good taste - no swear words
5. Moderators & sysops have immediate say
A. Moderators have immediate say as to what is considered breaking
the rules.
B. Sysops have the right to lock out from R.I.P.Net conferences
anyone who is continually breaking the rules.
C. Users who disagree with decisions of the moderator/sysop may
contact the next person up on the chain (ie sysop-hub-coordinator)
until their grievance is heard and dealt with properly. Desisions
of the Net Coordinators are final.
=========================================================================
That's all the rules for now. Rules may be modified, added, or removed
as need arises. Sysops & Moderators will be notified of any rule changes
affecting them.
