Official Rules for the HOLY_BIBLE Conference
Because of many fake christians abusing this echo and trying to disrupt any
serious Bible study, these rules now take the place of any moderator
"warnings". Anyone breaking these rules will now be considered as having
allready been warned. Due to the cost of international distribution,
off-topic and obviously deliberate disruptive posts will result in immediate
forfeit of echo access as will replys/protests to administrative messages.
We have a trinity of three seperate persons as Co-moderators they are:
John Nash 1:227/150, Mark McGuffey 1:160/103 and Eddy Bal 2:292/866
1. All advertisments and announcements etc MUST be submitted to the
moderator prior to public posting. Those acceptable will be publically
posted by being forwarded in the echo *by* the moderator.
2. Absolutely NO profanity whatsoever will be tolerated, none, nil, zero,
notta! Even Biblical words missused as ephithets will not be tolerated,
not even once. (and no second chances)
3. In case of variations between translations, the KJV will have the final
say (though I know of no notable contradictions). A look to the original
language definitions are, of course, acceptable. Quotes from Cult re-writes
of the Bible are NOT permitted in the echo (like the NWT, etc.)
4. Points of doctrine *MUST* be documented by Bible verses rather than
religious literature, traditions, or "well, everybody knows that".
5. Historical documents, referrences, and delvings in to Greek and Hebrew
etc... are occasionally acceptable if not excessively lengthy (when in
doubt ask a moderator in NETMAIL).
6. English is the official language of the conference.
7. This is a "One God" Apostolic Christian Conference, all are welcome.
8. Administrative problems, complaints, etc *MUST* be handled PRIVATELY by
sending netmail to John Nash (co-moderator) at 1:227/150, Mark McGuffey
(co-moderator) at 1:160/103, Eddy Bal (co-moderator) at 2:292/866
or Netmail can be routed to Steve Winter at 98:98/1 via 1:227/150.
SysOps can add these next two lines as a private nodelist (since
PreRapture BBS was illegally removed from the FidoNet nodelist):
Zone,98,PRIME,USA,Steve_Winter,1-919-286-3962,9600,CM,HST,V32b,UZC
,1,PRIME,Durham_NC,Steve_Winter,1-919-286-3962,9600,CM,XA,HST,V32b
or netmail can be sent through FidoNet to Steve Winter at 1:3641/1.
9. SysOps agree to NEVER delete any message from this echo, except for
blatant profanity, lewdness, or a message by a barred individual or system.
This of course does not refer to normal purging of old messages. This rule
is directed at preventing censorship.
10. This Echo is REAL TRUE NAMES Only, no exceptions. SysOps are
responsible for the integrity of particpants identities.
11. Any network gating must first have prior approval from the moderator.
12. No "encrypted" or "encoded" messages are allowed.
13. BBS SysOps agree to provide access to HOLY_BIBLE to all of their
general BBS membership (excluding, of course, any user who has been barred
from the echo). This *is* a definite requirement.
14. Any SysOp that drops HOLY_BIBLE because of a disagreement or is cut for
a rule violation may not be allowed to re-access the echo as a user. (This
rule is to prevent a SysOp who is unable to prevail in a debate, from
dropping HOLY_BIBLE to hide the debate from his users, and then coming back
on HOLY_BIBLE as a user to disrupt the echo or to continue to use the echo
to further his views. In other words, wanting al
even argue in an echo; it is quite another to purposely disrupt an echo.
Examples of such behaviour include (but are not limited to), bombing of the
echo (multiple copies of identical posts in the echo posted at the same
time), profanity with a few letters blocked, excessive flaming and
re-quoting (in obvious attempt to "flood" the network, make normal
conversation difficult, and raise phone bills), posting of third party
"tracts" (not self-authored) without prior approval of the moderator.
17. Deliberate over-quoting is considered disruptive annoying behaviour.
18. False christian (like CRI) and other cult tracts like those of
Jehovah's witness (so called), mormon, bahai and similar cults are NOT
allowed in the echo. (unless the moderator chooses (in ADVANCE) to make
an exception)
HOLY_BIBLE and all other echo conferences (and their names) originated
by Steve Winter are (c)1989-1992 Steve Winter and the PreRapture(tm)
Network with all rights reserved without diminishing the rights of
all authors to their posting. Permission is granted to cross post from
this echo.
