Code of Conduct

This section only pertains to traffic that passes through the network WWIVnet. It claims no scope or authority over messages or activity that does not enter the network.

Each SYSOP is responsible for the actions and messages of any user originating from thier system when those messages enter WWIVnet. If any SYSOP allows traffic to enter the WWIVnet via their system (e.g. from a program, gateway, or other source), that SYSOP is responsible for that traffic.

Permitting the following traffic over the network can result in disciplinary action, including but not limited to expulsion of the system from WWIVnet:

  • Illegal activity, defined as engaging in conduct that a reasonable person would deem that violates applicable federal, state, local, or international law or regulation. When a question of locality is in question, the locality shall be the physical location of 1@1.

  • Harmful code, defined as code that may be deemed harmful, dangerous, or destructive in any manner. An exception is made for clearly labeled samples for forensic and educational purposes, where significant action must be taken by a user to activate the payload.

  • Other activities that may harm WWIVnet, as determined by 1@1 and the collective SYSOPs of WWIVnet.

Notes about WWIVnet-FTN

  • The WWIVnet-FTN hub is running D’Bridge. D’Bridge uses the same password for Binkp Session Password as the Packet Password. I can make them different, but when a Session Password is set - it will also set the Packet Password (will use the same PW).
  • The destination BinkP port for my D’Bridge hub is 24555 (as noted in the Nodelist).
  • The Current Nodelist is available from: https://github.com/wwivbbs/wwivnet/tree/master/wwivnet
  • Please use wwivftn for the domain name when creating the network to avoid MD5 CRAM session PW issues.
  • To submit the application, please log into my BBS (bbs.weather-station.org) and email me the application or Internet email to: [email protected]
