. ***** CompuChurch Universal Life Church
. ***** Rules/Standards of Operation
. ***** revised 05/21/90

CompuChurch Universal Life Church is a church. Anything that can be
 spoken or communicated in any other church can be spoken or
 communicated here. Standard church courtesy and decorum should be
 followed. Within the framework of the limitations below, we foster a
 wide leeway concerning the form and content of messages, textfiles
 and programs.  Unless specifically prohibited in the following rules
 and/or prohibited by one private and one public warning, members are
 free and encouraged to voice their ideas and views in whatever manner
 they choose.... such are our Constitutional rights of freedom of
 speech, and freedom of religion..

The following are ABSOLUTELY prohibited, and members who persist in
abusing their privileges with such behavior will lose access
PERMANENTLY:

          1) The use of foul language. This church has a responsible
             membership, and anyone who cannot follow the strictures
             of common courtesy is not welcome here.

          2) The discussion of software "piracy" (as in trading or
             illegal distribution)  is a direct violation of state and
             federal law, and we will cooperate fully with government
             agencies to prevent such abuse.

          3) Personal abuse or attacks on fellow members.  Self-
             explanatory -all debates and argument must maintain a
             focus on issues and ideas rather than personalities.

The following are guidelines to be followed whenever possible by all
members:

          1) Limit yourself to two or three logons per day, please...
             you are free to use as much time as you have per logon
             but this allows everyone the best chance at accessing the
             church.  Repeated logons only yield a few new messages
             each time, and tie up the line for others who may only
             have one or two chances per day to reach the church.  If
             you feel you need more time, leave a private message to
             the Pastor... continued misuse by "hogging" the church
             will be noticed, and logon privileges may be restricted.

          2) REV. VINCE FLAVIANI is an Associate Pastor of this
             church, and he has deletion capability of both messages
             AND users.  Any decision he makes regarding deletion is
             to be obeyed in the Bishop's absence.

          3) Any complaint lodged against another member is to be
             brought first to Bishop Jennings in a PRIVATE message. He
             will mediate from that point until the conflict is
             resolved.

          4) ECHOMAIL (Messages & chains duplicated on other systems)
             is identified by an Origin System line at the bottom of
             each message. As these areas are hosted by many systems,
             and messages are using other Systems' Disk space and
             telephone time, callers are expressly asked to refrain
             from any "chit-chat" or idle chatter in these areas, and
             to be especially careful to keep to the topics and
             issues.

          5) PRIVILEGED MAIL is visible ONLY by the two parties
             involved, the Pastor, and one authorized and responsible
             associate pastor; all such conversations are kept in the
             strictest confidence.

          6) NETMAIL is INTENDED to be privileged between Sender and
             Receiver but MAY BE SEEN by ANYONE AUTHORIZED by Sysops
             on the Net route path. NETMAIL USERS ARE ADVISED THAT
             WHEN A NETMAIL MESSAGE IS TRANSMITTED INTO THE NET, NO
             WARRANTIES REGARDING PRIVACY ARE MADE BY THIS CHURCH.
             Netmail users are cautioned to consider this information
             carefully when posting netmail.

          7) Please avoid deletion of messages on the public message
             bases...  the exception, of course, are Privileged
             messages.  When deleting privileged messages, please
             delete YOUR OWN POSTS ONLY, so that a writer may refer to
             his previous post in a private conversation.  Public
             messages will be deleted by the Pastor when the church can
             no longer hold them. This improves the readability of the
             chains and keeps the message reply chains as intact as
             possible.


                  ***** Disclaimer and General Policy *****

    THE PASTOR IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR VIOLATIONS OF LOCAL, STATE OR
    FEDERAL LAW COMMITTED BY MEMBERS - HE RESERVES THE RIGHT TO DENY
    ACCESS TO ANY INDIVIDUAL WHEN HE DEEMS IT NECESSARY - IMPROPER
    MESSAGES, FILES OR PROGRAMS WILL BE DELETED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
