The network trys to avoid lots of rules. It will appreciate your
following this guideline in entering messages into the network:

AVOID OVERQUOTING
Quoting should be a memory jogger. It should not be long. It should
not contain all of the message you are replying to. Each messages
references the message it is replying to. If the recipient needs to
refresh his memory further, he can read the message again. Sysop
spend $$$ for the long-distance calls to provide this network to you.
Overquoting becomes costly-redundancy for them

FANCY SIGNATURES and EXTRANEOUS HUMOR
Your signature is always part of the message header. Placing it in
the body of your messages can also add to the networks costs. Cute
little saying and humor can be left in the off-topic conference.
Limit these goodies to your tag line in all other conferences.

ANSI MESSAGES -- AT MACROS
Do not include ANSI codes or BBS macros in your messages. Many
bbs can and do filter them out. The result is your pretty message
becomes a garbled mess. Macros that change colors etc. on certain
bbs's are also prohibited.

ALSO
Try to change your SUBJECT: when you are changing the topic.
Maintain common courtesy.
Enjoy!
