- HUB INFORMATION PACKET!
-
- Thanks for your Interest in Becoming a HUB for SeekNet. As a HUB
- there are a few Rules that must be maintained for the smooth flow of mail
- through the System. First of All, be aware that The Network can handle either
- .qwk or FTS type mail packets. If there is a BBS that seeks to be a part of
- SeekNet but would like to use a front end program, Please direct them to get
- their mail from one of the FTS Sites listed in the Hubs.lst text file.
-
- The Seeker's Place, Darby, Pa. (610)-237-6628 1:273/412
-
-
- GENERAL GUIDELINES!
- Any Network worth It's salt has Rules and we are no exception. We
- are trying to keep the rules to Simple Common Sense ones. We want the Net
- to be Informational and fun, but not Burdensome.
- Conferences are Topic Specific, but we will allow for deviation.
- For example; If someone is Talking Lan systems, in a Lan conference, and a
- user reponds that he has such a system and will sell it for x amount of
- Dollars. This is not an infraction of the rules (Since it "is" Topic
- specific). He will NOT have to go to The "For sale" conference and post.
- This "DOES NOT" mean that conferences can be filled with sales pitches
- or ads. The Key words here are "In the Course of the Conversation."
- Since This Network is for all and accessible by all, we do REQUIRE
- that the language be kept in a -- >"G"<-- rated mode. No adult ads are
- permitted on the Network.
- All Net sysops are required to carry 2 Conferences. The Net
- administration conference, and The General Mail Conference. The
- Administrative conference is for Net sysops Chat, exchange of ideas,
- and/or questions, suggestions for the Net. This conference "MUST" be
- "PRIVATE" and accessible only by Net Sysops and their co-Sysop/s. The
- General Mail Conference is Open to all. The Purpose of this conference
- is to let users have a open line to address anyone on "ANY" other bbs in
- the Net. It is also where notices of additional conferences, rules changes,
- new nodes, etc., will be placed for users. "EVERY" new node must carry
- these two conferences.
- There will be no Verbal assults on Individuals or Flaming allowed on
- the net.
- We Don't require, but we do request that nodes carry at least 10
- SeekNet conferences.
- Aliases are NOT Permitted (Except in a Designated Conferences)
- <Currently, There are none>
- No illegal acts of "ANY" kind will be permitted on The Net.
- Any Dispute that may arise between nodes or hubs will NOT be handled
- in public conferences but will be resolved by the two disputing parties
- and The SeekNet administrator, whose decisions are Final!
- Any Net Sysop knowing of anyone who wants to be a conference
- Moderator and is qualified, should contact the SeekNet administrator.
-

- 2.Must carry all conferences
- 3.Must Echo to at least one Other BBS

- the first HUB's permission), THOUGH we encourage having Sub-Hubs
- to keep toll charges down.
- 5.Should make mail runs to The national Hub once every
- day, barring Emergencies.
-
- HUB RULES
- 1.ABSOLOUTLY NO Handles allowed in the Net. We Realize that this is
- not going to please some, but we are resigned to the fact
- that you can't please everyone! It is the Hubs responsibility
- to do his/Her best to make sure His Board and nodes under Him
- comply with these rules!
- 2.All New Conferences to be added to the Net must have the Approval
- of The SeekNet Administrator (Anthony Phillips). All Network Nodes
- may request additional conferences by leaving mail in the Net
- administration conference.
- 3.All Hubs adding new Nodes, must forward their applications
- (Minus Password) to the National Hub on the next available mail
- run via the Hubs conference. (Please notify us When a Node is
- no longer a part of SeekNet)
- 5.All mail to the Administration concerning Hub activities, Disputes
- or Nodes should come through the Hubs conference.
- 6.Hubs MUST make SURE that New Nodes have their SeekNet:Origin
- taglines in working order. They *MUST* include the word SeekNet,
- and a City, with Optional BBS name & number. It should look
- something like this..
-
- wcGATE 4.0 = SeekNet: Acme Home BBS - Tulsa, Ok. (000)000-0000
- or for FTS, something like...
- ORIGIN: SeekNet = Acme Home BBS - Tulsa, Ok. 0:/000/00
-
- 7.Hubs should call all new applicant's BBS, to verify they have
- applied, before giving access to the Net.
- 8.Regional Hubs cannot give out Node ID numbers. They will come
- directly from the National Hub once application is recieved.
- 9.Any node in constant violation of Network rules or guidelines
- will be given two warnings, after which further violations
- shall be considered Fatal.
- 10.Hubs must remove any node from the Network that the Net
- administrator deams in Fatal Violation.
- 11.Hubs should do their best to make sure all nodes under them
- follow the Rules and guidelines of SeekNet.
- 12.Hubs should Keep a "CURRENT" SeekNet Information file (SeekNet.zip)
- available for Download from his BBS. (Let's spread the word
- and grow Together)
-
- These rules are not burdensome but are required to keep control in the
- net, and for the smooth operation and easy transfer of EchoMail.
- Interested Parties should leave mail at the Seeker's Place BBS
- indicating that they have read the HubRules and agree to the guidelines
- set forth. Thanks again for your Interest in becoming a Hub for SeekNet!

- MODERATORS
-
- Moderators of SeekNet conferences are expected to be courteous,
- tactful, and not heavy handed, but they "DO" have the authority to
- deal with any unpleasantness, such as the use of obscenity, or personal
- attacks by one user against another. Abuse of a moderator will not be
- tolerated on the Net.
- A Moderators should have a working knowledge of the topic of the
- conference he wishes to moderate. The ideal person tries to make sure
- that discussions in the conference flows freely, and also may introduce
- topics of discussion. one of their primary duties is in steering those
- off-Topic discussions to a more appropriate conference. We have found
- that Moderators who treat people with respect, not always, but
- GENERALLY, gets respect in return. But as we have stated, "NO" abuse of
- a moderator will be Tolerated. Moderator Guidelines file (MODERATE.TXT)
- is available for downlod from address below. Anyone wishing to moderate
- a conference or has any questions about SeekNet, should contact the
- Network administrator (Anthony Phillips) via SeekNet Net sysops
- conference, general mail conference, or:
-
- BBS - (610)237-6628
- FIDO - 1:273/412
