AmateurRadio Net (ARnet) Policy Document
========================================
April 3, 1994
Overview
========
ARnet is operated as a 'no-hassle', friendly, Amateur Radio network.
What this means is no long list of rules and regulations, SysOps helping
each other increase usership and network traffic, and above all else the
greater enjoyment and use of the BBS medium as it relates to a fine hobby.
For those BBS's that want to receive the network mail via FIDO, we will
be using your normal Fidonet node number. Why eat up another AKA ??
The Rules
=========
1. ARnet Administration is the only required conference. This is only
done to insure a channel of communication to every node in the net.
2. No profanity, name calling, hassling. It's a family style network
so if you can't play nice, take your toys and go home.
3. Mail runs must be done at least every other day. This will insure a
continuity in the message bases. (Provisions for over seas nodes will be
handled on an 'as needed' basis) Hubs must make mail runs daily.
4. Gateways to other networks must be approved in advance by the ARnet
Network Host.
5. SysOps are responsible for the behavior of their users.
6. ARnetxxx Information Packet must be available for download on all
network nodes/hubs. Just to help spread the word.
7. Decisions on all matters of policy and network use will be made by
the ARnet Network Host.
8. BBS Ads should be posted in the Ham BBS Conference Only.
9. The ARnet Network, Network Host SysOp, Network Administrators, HUB,
or NODE SysOps will not be held liable for any claim for purchased items
usefulness or functionality.
10. Please do not post ANSI graphics in messages EXCEPT the Ham BBS Ads
Conference. Many users on the network are using computers that are not
ANSI compatible. ANSI graphic charactors will look like line noise on
their screens.
11. Signature lines should be limited to two lines. Remember, a
signature line is an informative line - include some useful information
about you, your home QTH (city/state/country), and call sign. Every
Tagline should have a Network ID. Below is an example:
ARnet: The Silicon Garden ■ Coram, NY ■ 516-736-6662 ■ N2HAA
12. The enforcement of these rules, as well as general "Common Sense" in
the conferences, is the sole responsibility of the conference moderators
and the ARnet Host SysOp. Please do not interfere with the Conference
Moderators job. Do not take the law into your own hands. If you have a
complaint, criticism or gripe, send a netmail message to the conference
moderator or to John Woodstock.
File Echos
==========
Ham File Distribution Network:
The Network Host has the HDN available to FIDO nodes who do not have it
available locally. Contact either him or your ARnet Hub if you are
interested in receiving the files.
The HDN is administered by Lee Laird.
ARnet also offers a few file echo's
