IGA_Net<tm> GENEALOGY NETWORK
UNITED KINGDOM SYSTEM OPERATOR CONFERENCE RULES
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Last Revised August 22, 1995
Echo Tag: IGA_SYSOP_UK
Moderator: Riley Williams, (IGA_Net<tm>: 440:244/1)
(FidoNet: 2:259/73)
1. The purpose of the IGA_Net<tm> IGA_SYSOP_UK Conference is to
provide a forum for IGA_Net<tm> SYSOPs in the United Kingdom to
communicate with each other. The ZC of IGA_Net<tm> will also
utilize this conference to communicate with SYSOPs in the United
Kingdom. SYSOPs in other parts of the world may read the
communications in this conference, but they are strongly dissuaded
from originating messages therein.
2. Messages in this echo must conform with the current rules in place
for IGA_Net<tm>. Please note that any message which is lawful,
friendly, and related to genealogy is not likely to fall afoul of any
IGA_Net<tm> rule.
3. Personal attacks or "flames" are prohibited as is offensive language.
4. Please leave the moderating to the moderator.
5. Since names are the heart and soul of genealogy, aliases are
extremely discouraged. If, due to BBS software limitations, an alias
is used in the message header, the real name MUST be signed in the body
of the message.
6. Illegal information or activities are not permitted.
7. The use of taglines is strongly dissuaded. In the event the
originator of a message finds he/she has an urgent need to utilize a
tagline, the tagline will only be a short line detailing research
surnames:
Researching: JONES, GREEN, and CALLAWAY
Cutesy taglines add nothing to the value of genealogical research
being conducted by the message originator.... in fact, they detract
greatly from the serious purpose of the message content.
Also, taglines add to the length of messages and therefore add to the
cost of transferring traffic via continental and intercontinental
telephone. Again, you are requested to empathize with those who are
paying the long-distance charges and leave taglines off your messages.
8. This conference may not be gated to any other network without the
express consent of the IGA_Net<tm> Zone Coordinator, 440:1/0.
9. Messages should be in English if possible, but there are no general
language restrictions.
10. Remember it costs money for most people to receive this echo.
Please keep message quoting to a minimum by quoting only when necessary
and then only quoting the relevant parts.
11. Questions or comments about these rules, the echo, or its
management should be sent via netmail to the moderator.
12. Participation in this echo indicates acceptance of these rules!
