The following are DVLink conference rules and regulations. It is our hope that these serve as a guidline to participating Sysops. We attempted to create a network free of intense policies and harassing regulations. These descriptions and their accompanying rules are in our eyes reasonable. As new conferences are sponsored, individual moderators will be required to develop their own conference rules and regulations, for inclusion in this file. ------------------------------------------------------------------ DVL CHAT - Conference Moderator; John Clifton ^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This is a general message conference, a "chit-chat" area for all members of participating BBS's. Public and private postings are permitted. Topics should be diplomaticly discussed, and of a NON-SEXUAL nature! Vulgar or profane language in public messages is FORBIDDEN. Public "bitch-fights" are to be avoided! Insults, threats or attempts to intimidate any person are prohibited. DVL CHAT is to be made available to persons at least 18 years of age. The Conference Moderator is the sole authority to decide upon and settle disputes between members and Sysops alike. He/she has the right to request that any one member, BBS, or BBS's have their feed cut as a response to violations of operational policies. __________________________________________________________________ DVL ADULT - Conference Moderator; John Clifton ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ An "Adults-Only" message conference. Participants must be at least 18 years of age. This area may be operated as an "ALIAS" area, with members using an alternate ID if they desire. It is the individual BBS Sysop's responsibility to decide wherher his/her system operates DVL ADULT as an "alias" conference. Messages here may be of an adult/sexually explicit nature. The ban on profanity and vulgarities are essentially lifted. Public and private postings are permitted. Individual BBS Sysop's should make this area available to members who have requested "adult" access on their system. Postings are uncensored, however any posting that depicts or condones illegal activity(ies) will be deleted, and the member sanctioned by DVLink Administration*. Sanctioning refers to the member's feed to the particular conference being cut by his/ her BBS Sysop. The Conference Moderator is the sole authority to decide upon and settle disputes between members and Sysops. He/She has the right to request that any one member, BBS or BBS's have their feed cut as a response to violations of operational policies. _________________________________________________________________ DVL GAY/BI - Conference Moderator; Mike LaGamba ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ An "adults-only" message area. Participating memebers must be at least 18 years of age.It's primary intention is to link members of the Gay/ Lesbian/Bisexual communities in the Deleware Valley. Access is NOT limited to Gay/Lesbian/Bisexual persons. However, while healthy discussion of contraversial topics is encouraged, homophobic messages and "bashing" will NOT be tolerated. Public and private postings are permitted. As this is an adult conference,topics may be of a sexually explicit nature. The ban on profanity and vulgarity are also essentially lifted. BBS Sysops should make DVL GAY/BI available to members who have requested "adult" access on their system. Postings are uncensored. However, any posting that depicts or condones illegal activity(ies) will be deleted,and the member sanctioned by DVLink Administration*. Sanctioning refers to the member's feed to an indivdual conference being cut by his/her BBS Sysop. The Conference Moderator is the sole authority to decide upon and settle disputes between members and Sysops. He she has the right to request that any one member, BBS or BBS's have their feed cut as a response to violations of operational policy. __________________________________________________________________ DVL SYSOP - Conference Sysop; Mike LaGamba ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This is a "Sysops-Only" discussion area. Participants should be bona-fide BBS Sysops. Public and private postings will be permitted. Topics should generally deal with Sysop activities. Public "bitch-fights" will not be tolerated. It's our hope that being Sysops, we can settle differences without a moderator's involvement. However, the Conference Moderator reserves the right to request that a Sysop's feed to this conference be cut, if he/she continualy violates operational policies. _________________________________________________________________ DVL ADMIN. - Conference Moderator; DVLink Administration ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This is the DVLink Administrative conferenec. It is only for use by the participating DVLink Sysop. A Co-Sysop may access the conference on behalf of his Sysop, but NOT before his/her name has been submitted to DVLink Administration*. Public and private postings wil be permitted. Carrying this echo is MANDATORY for ALL DvLink participating systems. This echo will serve as the official conduit for DVLink information and assistance. Participating Sysops are encouraged to use this echo to convey their feelings, ideas, as well as suggestions as to how we can make DVLink better! *DVLink Administration, at present: John Clifton, Sysop; Carn Brea Castle BBS Mike LaGamba, Sysop; La Dolce Vita BBS _________________________________________________________________ END OF FILE
