Charter of uk.local.yorkshire.moderated
(Moderated)
uk.local.yorkshire.moderated is a place for all those interested in
Yorkshire to discuss matters with a Yorkshire relevance and the world from
a Yorkshire perspective. It is also a place for people to seek information
from those who live in the county, for example someone moving to a town may
ask for advice as to the best areas to live or someone visiting the region
the best attractions, accommodation or hostelries.
uk.local.yorkshire.moderated is a discussion group, all articles not
intended for discussion, such as advertisements with a Yorkshire relevance
and announcements of forthcoming events, other than announcements relating
directly to this newsgroup itself, must be posted to the newsgroup
uk.local.yorkshire.noticeboard and not here.
Cross-posting to more than four groups is not allowed. Cross-posting to
more than one group outside the uk.* hierarchy is not allowed.
This is a moderated group and the moderators may impose and remove further
restrictions at their discretion should they deem it necessary for the
efficient functioning of the group, provided they comply with the group
moderation policy.
Advertising is forbidden.
Binaries & Formatting
Encoded binaries (e.g. pictures, compressed files, etc.) are forbidden.
Such material belongs on a web or FTP site to which a pointer may be
posted. Posts must be readable as plain text. HTML, RTF and similarly
formatted messages may be rejected by the moderators. To see how to make
some common newsreaders comply with this, please read
<http://www.usenet.org.uk/ukpost.html>.
Messages posted to this newsgroup must not be cross-posted to more than a
TOTAL of four uk.local.* newsgroups; these may be geographically adjacent
or overlapping, or connected by the subject of the post (e.g. "moving house
from Manchester to York").
Moderation Procedure
The aim of the moderators is to provide a forum for the discussion of
Yorkshire related matters as free as possible from abuses of usenet without
limiting freedom of speech.
The moderators may use the moderation software to control or block:
Articles cross-posted to other groups.
Articles which they consider do not carry adequate trace information.
Message floods.
Articles of excessive length.
Articles with a content type other than plain text.
They may:
Place limits on the number of groups which may be cross-posted to.
Limit the groups or hierarchies which may be cross-posted to.
Limit the groups or hierarchies which followups may be set to.
Block any articles which are not either the start of a new thread or a
follow-up to a recent article posted to the group.
Limit the number of articles from one source posted at one time or in a
given time.
Block articles from or via anonymous remailers, subscription newsservers
which offer anonymity to their subscribers or which the moderators consider
do not have or do not enforce an adequate Acceptable User Policy, what the
moderators believe to be open servers, servers on ISPs which the moderators
believe are being used for a throwaway account solely for the purpose of
committing abuses of the internet.
Block articles with an excessive line or byte count.
Block articles which have a content type other than plain text or have a
mixed content type.
Cancel any article which has been posted by bypassing the moderation
procedure.
Provided that:
No article shall be rejected based on the content of the body of the
article.
All rules applied shall apply to all posters equally, there will be no
blacklisting or whitelisting of individuals.
No poster shall be prevented from posting via their usual Internet Access
Provider's newsserver.
