We are a people's run, open minded network and we don't want to over burden anyone with an encyclopedia of do's and dont's. But there are a few rules that must be maintained for the smooth flow of mail throughout the system, and everyone's enjoyment, like on any net. Please try and HELP us keep the rules to simple common sense ones. GENERAL RULES ΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝ In accordance with the Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986, it is unlawful for a person who is not a member of this Network and/or does not meet the requirements for access to any conference(s), to intentionally intercept, or use any messages or message portions from such conference(s).

There are no facilities for private messages on any PetNET(tm) conference, including restricted conferences and all messages no matter how they are marked can be read by any Network's Administration staff, members, designee(s), SysOp, Co-SysOp, participating BBS's SysOp's and their designee(s), with authorized access. Since this network is accessible to people of all ages, foul language and profanity is not permitted. We do not allow personal attacks on indivi- duals, nor flaming. You may politely criticize a person's thoughts, but not the person. The English language is the ONLY official, permitted language of this network, in ALL messages regardless of their status and placement. Except when a writer of a message quotes from another message, book or text, and in that case an accompanying translation at the bottom of the quoted text MUST be provided. All messages posted on PetNET(tm) are the property of and the opinion of their writers, and not the local BBS, Hubs, Nodes, their SysOps, Co-sysop or their aides. Quotations from other source(s) must have the prior approval of the original author, or publication. For example, if you want to quote text from an article in the New York Times magazine, you must have the newspaper's written permission, and include the appropriate credit to the author and (or) source. The use of encoded or encrypted messages, (including signatures), are not permitted on the PetNET(tm) network. If it is that private, please use mail, or other more secure means of transmitting your data. No participant shall initiate, discuss, promote, or in any way condone any activity, in the PetNET(tm) message, or files areas, which would violate: Local, City, State, US, International, or Humanitarian written, or unwritten (common sense) laws. Courtesy, and respect is to be followed. PetNET(tm) shall NOT support (or allow) data, (messages or files), of any kind, that has to do with hacking, phreaking, piracy, illegal access to computer systems, though it shall not be responsible, in any way, for such, occurring, due to the actions of it's participants or other Systems.

A Node/Hub SysOp who will be asked by a conference moderator, or the Network Administrator and her designee(s) to correct a technical problem, or remove the network access of a user as a result of an offense, must immediately acknowledge the receipt of message(s) sent to him/her, and proceed to correct, or act as requested. No Hub/Node is to delete, modify, edit or censor in any respect, any messages coming in or out of their systems, UNLESS it's from one of their users who is in VIOLATION of a PetNET rule, or guideline. This particularly applies to all messages from/to the Network Administration, Net Supervisor(s), Moderators, Conference Liaison, NetSysOps, and their designee(s), which are vital to be passed on to all participating Systems in the Official, unaltered state, to read and act upon. The Net Administrator or it's designee(s) might, will, and should be entitled to freely: Copy, Delete, Edit, Censor, Move, Make Public, Sell, Disclose to Authorities, any, and all messages, or data, that entered the network, at their sole discretion, without any notice given, prior consent, or payment needed, from anyone.

ALIASES ΝΝΝΝΝΝΝ The use of aliases or handles are NOT permitted on PetNET(tm). Participants must use their real, legal names, except in special conference(s), where aliases might be allowed. CONFERENCE RULES ΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝ Each conference should usually have a moderator who will be in charge of that conference. From time to time, we might be looking for a qualified conference moderator. If you feel you can handle being a conference moderator, express your desire in a message to your SysOp, or the Network Administrator, in the P_ChitChat conference. In the absence of an appointed moderator, network SysOps, the PetNET(tm) Administrator and/or it's designee(s) will temporarily oversee the smooth flow of the conference(s). Participants, must keep their messages on the topic of the conferences, following Moderator's requests, and immediately stop the flow of messages if they should be required to. Moderations will be posted publicly in the conference where the violation occurred. If a user wishes to discuss it further, they must move the discussion to the P_Mod&User conference. VIOLATIONS ΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝ Upon violation of any of the above guidelines, users will be publicly notified by either the Node BBS's SysOp, a conference moderator, or the PetNET(tm) Administrator or its designee(s). Important: Unless specified, you MUST timely respond to ALL messages ~~~~~~~~~ of moderation, addressed to you, stating that you will coope- rate and correct all, and any of the problem(s) you've been moderated for. First violation will bring an informal warning. Upon a second offense, a formal warning will be issued. A third offense can result in either a temporary, or permanent suspension from the conference(s), the Network, or the BBS, depending upon the seriousness of the offense. Please understand that your local SysOp carrying the Network is required to enforce these suspensions and lockouts of offenders who access the Network through their BBS, regardless of your membership status or access level with the particular BBS you are accessing PetNET(tm) through. PetNET(tm) Administration reserves the right to also administer warnings, suspensions or lockouts without prior warning if it deems it necessary.
