<<UFONET>> Echomail Policy:
|
|||
|
|
--------------------------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Currently <<UFONET>> has 3 echomail areas established. There
|
|||
|
|
is a Sysops echo, and two public UFO oriented echoes where the bulk
|
|||
|
|
of the discussion will take place. The reason for the inclusion of
|
|||
|
|
2 UFO echoes should become self evident upon reading the respective
|
|||
|
|
descriptions which follow. It is hoped that people will make use of
|
|||
|
|
both areas, depending on the nature of the subject matter they wish
|
|||
|
|
to discuss. I hope that people will see the spirit behind why such
|
|||
|
|
a decision was made, and adhere to it as closely as possible.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Obviously, from time to time, it will be debatable as to which
|
|||
|
|
echo certain pieces of information, and strains of thought will best
|
|||
|
|
belong. As Moderator, I hope to be as relatively easy-going and as un-
|
|||
|
|
obtrusive as possible when acting in that capacity. From time to time
|
|||
|
|
it may be appropriate to shift debate to another echo, but for the
|
|||
|
|
most part I will leave this to the discretion of the users, and hope
|
|||
|
|
they adhere to the echomail policy in the spirit of good faith in which
|
|||
|
|
it was designed to be observed.

<<UFONET> User Sanctions:
|
|||
|
|
------------------------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<<UFONET>> places a high value on its role as a forum for the
|
|||
|
|
unincumbered, free flow of information relating to the subject of UFOs.
|
|||
|
|
As such, there will be no censorship of any kind, except for that which
|
|||
|
|
pertains to a User using profanity, or intentionally causing mischief or
|
|||
|
|
any other outrageous activity which is in violation of the spirit of the
|
|||
|
|
"Code of Conduct". It is hoped that, in my capacity as Moderator, action
|
|||
|
|
will never have to be taken against a User. However, if it is brought to
|
|||
|
|
the <<UFONET>> Sysops attention that a violation has occured, it will be
|
|||
|
|
decided collectively by the <<UFONET>> Sysops as to whether it constitutes
|
|||
|
|
a breach or not of the "Code of Conduct", and appropriate action will then
|
|||
|
|
be taken, which is one of the following:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
o Action dismissed as not being a violation.
|
|||
|
|
o If a violation, then User will get a 1st lightly worded warning.
|
|||
|
|
o Upon a second violation, User will get a strongly worded warning.
|
|||
|
|
o On a third violation, User will get a 30-day suspension of their
|
|||
|
|
write priviledges. On any subsequent breach, the offending User
|
|||
|
|
will no longer be permitted to access <<UFONET>>.

<<UFONET>> File Policies:
|
|||
|
|
------------------------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
One of our greatest assets, is our huge file library, with
|
|||
|
|
well over 450 files on almost every aspect of study and research
|
|||
|
|
within "UFOlogy". We take great pride on the quality and diversity
|
|||
|
|
which is present within. Its our hope that you will make use of, and
|
|||
|
|
add to the quality and number of our existing file base.
|
|||
|
|
Our files are obtained from a variety of sources. Most are
|
|||
|
|
composed by individuals such as yourself, and then uploaded to a BBS
|
|||
|
|
or on-line service. Some of our material is also excerpted from books
|
|||
|
|
and publications. Because of copyright sensitivity, it is suggested
|
|||
|
|
that where possible, accreditation should be given. As we are a non-
|
|||
|
|
profit, loosely based organization, by no means should individual files
|
|||
|
|
be reproduced and the contents therein sold for profit. Our goal is
|
|||
|
|
to disseminate as much of this information, as widely as possible, for
|
|||
|
|
people's private individual use only.
|
|||
|
|
Regarding the 5-Star "rating" system used within the file library,
|
|||
|
|
it should be understood that this is a purely subjective, unofficial
|
|||
|
|
classification system used merely to point out "interesting" files. They are
|
|||
|
|
there for your benefit only, and do not represent a <<UFONET>> endorsement.

Description of UFONET_A Echo:
|
|||
|
|
----------------------------
|
|||
|
|
Beginning with the premise that the subject of UFOs is one laden
|
|||
|
|
with both controversy and emotion to begin with, two public echo
|
|||
|
|
areas have been instituted in order to accomodate the widest array
|
|||
|
|
of both Users and information relating to the discussion of UFOs.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
UFONET_A Echo is intended to be a forum for discussion on those
|
|||
|
|
elements of the UFO enigma to which there is more or less a
|
|||
|
|
"concensus" upon within the UFOlogical community. Discussion
|
|||
|
|
here will tend to be more conservative, and less speculative as
|
|||
|
|
we examine those aspects of the UFO phenomenon which are for the
|
|||
|
|
most part, accepted by most of the leading researchers within
|
|||
|
|
the UFO community at large.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Examples of discussion material, include UFO sighting and abduction
|
|||
|
|
reports. Scientifically based theorizing on composition of UFO craft
|
|||
|
|
and operating of propulsion systems, etc., generally referred to as
|
|||
|
|
"nuts and bolts" discussion. Its hoped that "skeptic" and "believer"
|
|||
|
|
and those inbetween, can co-exist peacefully within both UFONET echoes.
|
|||
|
|
While some discussion material will inevitably overlap both echoes, it
|
|||
|
|
is hoped that the spirit of this arrangement will be adhered to.

Description of UFONET_B Echo:
|
|||
|
|
----------------------------
|
|||
|
|
Beginning with the premise that the subject of UFOs is one laden
|
|||
|
|
with both controversy and emotion to begin with, two public echo
|
|||
|
|
areas have been instituted in order to accomodate the widest array
|
|||
|
|
of both Users and information relating to the discussion of UFOs.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
UFONET_B Echo is intended to be a forum for discussion on the more
|
|||
|
|
highly speculative and controversial aspects of some theories and
|
|||
|
|
positions as held by certain UFO researchers and participants. This
|
|||
|
|
however is not meant as a license to discuss fantasy or make-believe.
|
|||
|
|
It is assumed that all participants in both echoes are here to discuss
|
|||
|
|
issues which are meaningful to them, and which they hold in good faith.
|
|||
|
|
The subject has enough controversy in it without having to resort to
|
|||
|
|
fabrications. Appropriate for this echo is also highly speculative
|
|||
|
|
discussion ranging from conspiracy/coverup theories, to that of the
|
|||
|
|
implications of alien communications and interaction with humans. Its
|
|||
|
|
hoped that "skeptic" and "believer", and those inbetween, can co-exist
|
|||
|
|
peacefully within both UFONET echoes. While some discussion material
|
|||
|
|
will inevitably overlap both echoes, it is hoped that the spirit of
|
|||
|
|
this arrangement can be adhered to by all involved.
