(C) 1991-1992 Network! HEADQUARTERS ("HDQ"): HeadQuarters is better known to the rest of the network as the person in charge. The messages started here originally, and eventually get back to this base to be redistributed. Currently in WishNet, we have four (4) Headquarter Sites. A) Headquarters #1 - Rozey Strohl - The Wishing Well BBS B) Headquarters #2 - Steve Stuart - Relational Connections C) Headquarters #3 - Tom Williams - Treasure House BBS D) Headquarters #4 - Tom Kavanagh - Twin Data Inc. Between these four systems, all the WishNet mail is received/sent out to various members of the Network. From these systems, mail is then sent to the others throughout our organization and given to the systems below them. (Each system connects to someone, and sends their mail back through to eventually reach a HDQ Site). One system getting out of sync with the rest, could throw the entire chain of messages to be late in distribution. This could drastically HOLD UP the mail forwarding procedures. As WishNet continues to grow, it shows great possibilities that more HDQ Sites will have to be assigned. Additional Information: Under *NO* circumstances will "arguing" with the WishNet Administration staff be allowed. Due to past experiences, this obviously hasn't been the case. But, in the future we want to warn you that any and all systems can and WILL be removed, if they continue to argue over WishNet matters outside of private mail. This is not a threat (as once put by a user being reminded of WishNet Policies). However, this *IS* HDQ policy, that will be followed. Consider yourself warned right here and now. We didn't start WishNet to be a debate forum to vent your abusive intentions to other users! Therefore, if I read any messages in the WishNet message areas, (even if someone else is the appointed moderator of that echo), and I don't feel it belongs, it will removed. The sysOp of that BBS from which the message came from will be warned of its problem user. *IF* the sysOp doesn't adhere to the HDQ request, the node will be removed permanently with no second thoughts on the matter....period! You have freedom of choice. If you don't like my rules, then don't join. The choice is yours to make as you wish, but WishNet has and will continue without those that want to make waves!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ""<Conference Names>"" ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stipulation: The SysOps of WishNet are "required" to carry the SYSOP conference. This is not a decision for you to make, it is mandatory for ALL those who want to be a part of WishNet. Same rules apply to those that are Hosts/Hubs of WishNet. Mandatory ruling applies to all who are a member of the WishNet U.S.A. Administration. And... if you are going to be a part of WishNet, it's only fair that you give your users at "least" 1 of the WishNet Bases to join. This one will be the WI_CHATR base, where all chatter and types of discussions are allowed. (With the exception of Adult - Oriented topics), which should be taken to the adult echo.
