July 27, 1993 DEFINITIONS AND DESCRIPTIONS The purpose of the NetWire service is to provide a source of public information about Novell and its products. NetWire offers a medium in which CompuServe Members interested or involved with Novell's product line(s) may communicate with each other for the purpose of trouble- shooting problems, uploading/downloading files, and general discussion regarding the networking industry. SYSOPS Sysops are volunteers who have contracted with Novell to share their expertise and provide support to NetWire users. Sysops are not Novell employees, but have extensive real-world knowledge of networks and the computer industry in general. Sysops are identified with the "Sysop" moniker following their name. Sysops do not officially represent Novell. One of the great strengths of NetWire is the fact that you may receive non-biased suggestions to overcome your networking problems - including suggestions of third-party solutions. This liberty is extended to Sysops because of their volunteer status. NETWIRE RULES AND POLICY Members using the Novell's NetWire service on CompuServe agree to abide by the following guidelines, policies and procedures, as well as the standards and policies required by CompuServe--which may be obtained by issuing the "GO RULES" command.: Member agrees not to publish on or over the Service any information which violates or infringes upon the rights of any other person or any information which would be abusive, profane or sexually offensive to a "reasonable" person. The determination of any particular message being in breach of the above mentioned restrictions may be made by any group or individual using the Service, and will be executed by volunteer Sysops or Novell employees assigned to monitor NetWire Forums in the following manner: Should any message be considered offensive in any way, the group or individual with a complaint will send a E-mail message to the author and/or a Sysop (volunteer or otherwise) on NetWire. The offending message will then be deleted. In all cases, the author will be notified that the message was deleted as per the request of a Member, who may remain anonymous. Any person receiving such a request will remove the message from the Service as soon as is reasonably possible. Complaints will be directed to a "Sysop" and final judgment on any issue will be made by the NetWire Supervisor at Novell. EDITING OF PUBLIC INFORMATION Novell reserves the right at its sole discretion to edit any public information appearing on the Service, regardless of whether it violates the standards for information content.
