SLCC MOO Policies
Policies
The SLCC Writing Center offers MOO services to SLCC staff, to students registered by their instructor in English/Humanities classes, and to registered non-SLCC guests. As registered users of the SLCC Writing Center MOO servers, users are expected to abide by the following guidelines:
- Users will not access or promulgate materials considered pornographic by community standards. Such materials generally refer to, but are not restricted to, depictions of erotic behavior in images or writing that are intended to cause sexual excitement and have no artistic or educational merit.
- Users will not harass, demean, or attack any other users of the Internet, or engage in demeaning attacks upon broad groups based on sex, religion, or race. Harassment usually indicates repeated occurrences (such as "flaming"), but this restriction is not limited to the number of times a user engages in such activity.
- Users will not threaten other users of the Internet, Community College officials, government officials, or any other human being.
- Users will not engage in activity that will cause excessive server usage (e.g.. reception of many mail messages etc.). "Excessive server usage" means any accesses to the MOO servers that go extensively beyond the standard user usage.
- Users will not copy software without express permission of the software's license holder.
- Users will not deliberately allow non-registered users to use their accounts.
Complaint Procedure
MOO server coordinators will handle violations of the above policies in the following manner:
- The suspected user's account will be suspended pending a hearing between the user, his or her instructor/supervisor, MOO server administrators, and any other interested parties.
- After this hearing, one of the following actions may be taken, depending on the severity of the offense:
- Reprimand, and instruction on acceptable use of Internet services.
- Suspension of access to the Internet (which includes electronic mail access).
- Revocation of the user's MOO account and establishment of procedures to prevent unathorized access from the users site.
