             InfiNet - InterNational Freedom of Information Network

                                 Network Policy


  You will be expected to poll your hub a MINIMUM of ONCE EVERY TWO DAYS.
   If you are going to be away for any extended period, notify your hub, so he
   can temporarily turn off your waiting mail.

   NOTE:  If you have not polled your hub for two weeks, and you have not
   notified either your hub OR Midnight Sorrow, you will be removed from the
   next InfiNet nodelist.


  There is NO minimum or maximum "weekly" post quota enacted in InfiNet.
   As long as a sysop is willing to continue contributing to the network, be it
   on a daily, weekly, or monthly scale, that sysop still has value within the
   network.  However, if a sysop finds him(her)self in a position where he(she)
   truly no longer finds any use in carrying the net, it is our hope that that
   sysop will step forward and voluntarily drop the net.  While we do not mind
   slow activity systems, dead weight is not tolerable.


  There are very few things that could possibly get a system removed from
   InfiNet.  Never polling, never contributing are two of the more obvious
   ones.  However, one which is less discreet, would be QUALITY.  If users
   or other sysops notice poor quality messages coming from one particular
   system, they are NOT to take matters into their own hands.  This is what the
   moderator is for.  Notify the moderator in either the Suggestions, or the
   Sysops-Only base, of the violating system, and that system's node number.
   The moderator will crashmail a single message to the sysop of the violating
   system.  Three offenses in this vein will spell the end of said systems'
   tenure within InfiNet.  Exceptions will not be made.


  Cursing and Profanity is permitted (within reason).  However, flaming
   or ragging posts are strictly prohibited.  There are no rules as to
   actual message content, only that each post be posted in an appropriate
   topic area.  One liner posts, consisting only of a reply to another message
   (ie; "Yeah I know what you mean!") is HIGHLY frowned upon.


  Upon notification of a new system's acceptance into InfiNet, that system
   should immediately begin setup of InfiNet.  New member sites are given THREE
   WEEKS to completely setup InfiNet, and send out their first test message.
   If a new member board has not setup within three weeks, that system will be
   removed from the next nodelist.


   What you have just read comprises the sum and total of all rules and
   regulations to be followed under InfiNet.  Moderation is quite lenient,
   truth be told, so a system operator would have to be exceedingly lax in
   order to be removed from the network.  As long as messages remain of a
   relatively intelligent quality, life will remain good.
