violation is punished simultaneously by the moderator and
commoderator - the more strict one is taken into account.
The moderator, like the co-moderator, is always right. Hey, let's say
Yes, almost always. The latter does not diminish his rights
punish. If you don't agree, please contact me via netmail.
V. Technical requirements.
Letters sent to this conference must:
Comply with the requirements for registration

Tierline and origin (except for those cases when it is
necessary according to the meaning of the message).Have a greeting no longer than 4 standard lines and

The moderator believes that the fact of writing a letter to this
conference means that the author is familiar with and agrees with
rules of the conference.
Changes and additions are made to the rules only
moderator based on his own decision, or by
at the request of the conference participants; at the same time he intends
maintain the general direction of this conference.
Proposals for changes to the rules can be sent
moderator or commoderator only by netmail.
VII. Stylistics, spelling and punctuation.
This is just a wish - respect the rights of others
conference participants in terms of the readability of your messages,
often this is directly related to the literacy of their writing;
it is known that a bad example is contagious, including in
this area. If you don't know how to spell something
word, replace it with a synonym, do not torment our eyes with words
like “I sang” or “it’s being done.” Respect our great and
mighty!..Coolhacker messages like "(00| --A(K3YA") are possible
only if they are ASCII-ART.
Although mistakes and typos are not a punishable offense,
clearly deliberate disregard for spelling as such
(for example, the total absence of large letters and signs
punctuation) may be considered a violation, and is equivalent to
to a message in a foreign language. :)
