Politics 1) Democracy 2) Sysops get <<1>> vote, each vote equal 3) Sysops should setup a voting booth for their users to tell what they want.

Messages 1) Moderators a. Appointed (or if they invent the echo, they moderate it) b. Mod's Make OWN rules, so long as they abide by this, all moderator-variable rules will be labled: c. If moderator breaks own rules, they are removed, along with the echo, however, if the echo is active, it stays and a temp. moderator is put in place until the users decide who (the temp will most likely be u or rich..) 2) General Rules a. Treat it as though you were talking to your mother, or a small child.. No swearing , or flaming, etc b. No illegal discussions (pirating, hacking, etc) , reluctantly [first admendment..] c. Treat the echo as though it was your own. d. All echos will be voted upon by users (the voting topics will slow down eventually, as the echos get established) e. ANSI Codes are Allowed In All Conferences. f. High Order ASCII codes are Allowed In All Conferences. B. File Echos/Gofer 1) _NOT_ every BBS has to join.. 2) Must make _ALL_ acceptable files available III. Rules for Sysops & BBS's A. BBS's 1) No pirated/copyrighed, etc software may be available on _ANY_ of the systems associated with this net 2) Please poll nightly, if possible, at minimum (until echos get larger) poll 3 times a week, at your dis- cresion. 3) Mail Hour is the same as Fidonet, so as not to overload a system with mail hours. At mail hour no users allowed, just network mail, files, and echos. Daylight Savings time is not observed. If your system uses Daylight Savings time, please adjust the mail hour in the same direction of the time change, or do not observe Daylight Savings. a. Mail Hours By Time Zone: Eastern Standard Time : 4 AM to 5 AM Central Standard Time : 3 AM to 4 AM Mountain Standard Time : 2 AM to 3 AM Pacific Standard Time : 1 AM to 2 AM Hawaii Standard Time : 11 PM to Midnight b. If your system will be unable to make this time commitment, do not apply for access in the network. If your system will be down, please notify the Nodelist Coordinator. 4) If possible, when we get bigger, only 24 hr. a day BBS's, however single users are allowed, so long as they are points. Except in individual cases: Matt Riedel, Ken Elpus, and Rich Cooper and anyone else the Admin decides deserves an independant node. For Independent nodes that are NOT Points of Another system, the Independent node must be affiliated with The Morris County BBS Users Group. B. Sysops 1) You have to be cool.. :) 2) Be honest with the user votes.. People will be checking up to make sure you cast your ballot in favor of how the users voted. 3) Your free to do what you want with the board, so long as it doesn't interfere with the net, when it does, that's when our policies come in hand. 4) We're not your bosses, your our bosses, tell us what you'd like to see. 5) You MUST have fun. 6) No smoking, drinking, or the abuse of drugs is permitted on net.. We discourage it in real life, too. :) 컴� Credits and Acknowledgements NETRULES drafted by Matt Riedel.
