ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY
E-MAIL
Unsolicited Commercial E-mail
Accounts may not be used to send unsolicited advertisements for goods or
services of any kind, free or for profit. Accounts may not be used as
'drop-boxes' or repository for responses to an unsolicited advertisement.
Pyramid Schemes/Chain Letters
These types of e-mail encourage the recipient to send money to someone and
send the e-mail on to other people. These types of e-mail are illegal and
accounts may not be used to start or forward such e-mail.
Mail Bombs
Mail bombing is defined as sending numerous and/or unusually large files or
messages to one or more recipients with the malicious intent to flood the
recipients e-mail box. This activity is strictly prohibited and cause for
immediate termination.
Threats
Sending of threatening e-mail from your account is grounds for immediate
termination. For everyone's safety and comfort, we are obligated to take
all threats seriously.
Harassment
E-mail harassment is defined as sending unsolicited messages which
interfere with others' enjoyment of the internet. A message does not need
to be overtly threatening or have obscene content to qualify as harassment.
Make sure you know all the people to whom your message is addressed before
sending it. Refrain from e-mailing any person who has stated that they
do not wish to receive mail from you. Harassing e-mail is prohibited and
is grounds for termination of your account.
USENET NEWSGROUPS
Excessive cross-posting, or posting of the same article to multiple
newsgroups, is prohibited. Generally accepted standards allow no more
than 15 newsgroups, or cross-posting, for a single article or
substantially similar articles. Reported incidents of newsgroup
cross-posting will be investigated and is cause for termination.
Off-topic or Harassing Posting
Articles must comply with the written charter/FAQ of the newsgroup to
which they are posted. If a newsgroup does not have a charter or FAQ,
it is the responsibility of the user to determine the rules of the
newsgroup before posting. Please realize that most newsgroups prohibit
chain letters, pyramid schemes, encoded binary files, job offers or
listing and personal ads.
OTHER AREAS
Network/Servers Attacks
Any attempt to gain un-authorized access to any computer or network is
prohibited. Further, scanning or probing computers in an
attempt to discover security weaknesses, whether or not those weaknesses
are found or exploited, is strictly prohibited. Any activity which results
in a "denial of service" (DOS) attack on a computer system or network is
forbidden. Any such activity which is reported or discovered will
be grounds for termination and the incident will be turned over to the
authorities.
Web Page Content
No one is allowed to setup in their personal or business web area any
material of an adult nature. This in no way restricts the types of
web sites you are allowed to view. We do not monitor, track, record
or otherwise care what type of material you read or view on the net.
However, as part of our agreement with our upstream access provider,
we are not allowed to host "adult" sites, and as such we must pass
that restriction on to our users.
