Official Rules HOLY_BIBLE Conference
HOLY_BIBLE and "Wholly Bible" are (C)(tm)(sm) 1991-95 Steve Winter,
All rights reserved worldwide. A FidoNet Backbone echo since 1991
HOLY_BIBLE and all other echo conferences (and their names) originated
by Steve Winter are (c)(tm)(sm) 1988-1995 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.
Due to the cost of international distribution, off-topic and obviously
deliberate disruptive posts will result in immediate forfeit of echo
access as will echomail replys/protests to administrative messages.
This, as with many FidoNet echo exists to promote a particular "brand"
of product, in this case it is Biblical Apostolic Christianity.
Attempts to abuse this echo as a platform to promote false christianity
will not be tolerated any more than would Winders promotion in a Warp
echo (like promoting a competitive software in a software support echo).
The moderator/founder of HOLY_BIBLE (the original Wholly Bible echo)
is Steve Winter 1:18/98
We have a trinity of co-moderators. They are three seperate persons,
co-equal, and co-eternal:
Jerry Moon 1:3825/19, Arthur Farraway 98:103/1@prime, Lloyd Rabanus 1:2245/104
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 actual Bible verses.
5. Historical documents, referrences, and delvings in to Greek and Hebrew
etc... are occasionally acceptable if not excessively lengthy.
6. English is the official language of the conference.
7. This is a "One God" Apostolic Christian Conference, all are welcome
who are interested in an honest study of true Christianity.
8. Administrative problems, complaints, rules questions, etc *MUST* be
handled PRIVATELY by sending netmail to:
Steve Winter at 1:18/98@fidonet or 98:98/1@prime,
Jerry Moon at 1:3825/19@fidonet or 98:209/1@prime,
Arthur Farraway 98:103/1@prime
Lloyd Rabanus 1:2245/104@fidonet 98:218/1@prime,
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.
10. This Echo is REAL TRUE NAMES Only, no exceptions.
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
officially barred from the echo).
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 all the echo users to see
his views and opinions, but not wanting his users to see opposing views and
opinions expressed by others on the echo.) This also applies to any rejects
from the PRIME network.
15. All SysOps must immediately remove the access of any user to the
HOLY_BIBLE conference upon notification from the moderator(s) that that
user has been barred from the echo.
16. The moderator reserves the right to bar any user that he has
determined to be engaged in purposely disruptive, distructive behaviour in
the echo. It is one thing to contend for a viewpoint or to disagree or
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, RCC and similar cults are NOT
allowed in the echo. (unless the moderator chooses (in ADVANCE) to make
an exception)
19. The moderators also reserve the right to cut the feed to any node
that has been determined (at the discretion of the moderator) to be
only subscribing to the echo to cause problems (there have been trash
Sysops supported by corrupt Fidonet officials who have only taken the
echo to crosspost into other echos and cause problems), Crossposting
for reasons benevolent to the echo or promotion of the Gospel is still
welcomed.
