Users of the news server news.bbs-scene.org are obliged to abide by the following rules. Failure to do so will cause immediate termination of access rights without prior notice.

No child pornography or posting of links to child pornography will be tolerated. If any user is found to be posting links or pictures of child pornography we will go out of our way to pass this information on to local and global law enforcement agencies including but not limited to account information, ip address and logs. Although we are believers of the freedom of speech that usenet stands for we are also socially conscious citizens and we have a zero tolerance for this type of behaviour.

The e-mail addresses given in "From:", "Reply-To:", and "Sender:" SHOULD be yours (i.e. you should be entitled to use it) and SHOULD be valid (= should not bounce because of invalidity). Using addresses and name space of other people without their consent is prohibited. For the From: address, however, the Top Level Domain (TLD) invalid may be used, as in bbsscene@invalid.invalid. See also RFC2606 and Usenet Best Practice.

It is not allowed to post so-called SPAM via news.bbs-scene.org (To spam means to send many identical or nearly-identical messages separately to a large number of Usenet newsgroups.)

It is not allowed to post binary files such as images, animations, videos, sound files, executables, etc. to newsgroups.

Articles posted through news.bbs-scene.org may not be larger than 1000KB.

No control messages may be posted through news.bbs-scene.org. Cancel and supersede messages for your own articles will be accepted.

No user may cancel or supersede any articles other than his own.

Account information (user name, password) must not be disclosed to third parties ("Account Sharing"). Every user is obliged to keep his account information secret, to protect it against unauthorized access, and to report any loss or potential leakage.

This server must only be used for lawful purposes. Each user has to observe applicable law and regulations. Canadian and US law apply implicitly, as this is the location(s) of our servers.

Any disturbance of the system's integrity and any interference with the system's operation is prohibited. The system's resources (e.g. bandwidth or CPU time) must be used with sense of responsibility and consideration.

Accounts will be automatically deleted after 180 days of inactivity (no connect to the server). An automatic notification will be sent by email 30 days prior to the deactivation.
