- Binary posts do not belong in unmoderated discussion groups.
-
- I run a program that searchs for, and issues advisory cancels for,
- large binaries in the akr, biz, comp, misc, news, rec, and sci
- hierarchies.
-
- I have issued 19 cancels for large binary files (average size 249,871
- characters - total size 4,747,542 characters) posted to 11 different
- unmoderated discussion groups in the rec, news, misc, comp, and sci
- hierarchies (with cross-posts into alt and fidospk groups) as
- follows:
- 7 rec.sport.waterski
- 3 comp.lang.javascript
- 1 rec.nude
- 1 rec.games.video.nintendo
- 1 rec.games.frp.dnd
- 1 rec.crafts.textiles.quilting
- 1 news.newusers.questions
- 1 misc.forsale.computers.pc-specific.cards.video
- 1 sci.skeptic
- fidospk.politics
- alt.war
- alt.conspiracy
- alt.business.misc
- alt.society.sovereign
- 1 comp.sys.amiga.misc
- 1 comp.os.ms-windows.video
-
- The cancels in non-targeted groups are an unavoidable consequence of
- the way cancels work. A cross-posted article has only one Message-ID.
- When it is canceled from one group it is canceled from all groups.
-
- This pointer is being posted to each affected group listed above.
- Follow-ups are directed to news.admin.net-abuse.misc.
-
- If you want to see exactly which file was deleted from a particular
- group, read the full report in news.admin.net-abuse.announce. Look
- for AR279 in the subject. The full report can also be found in
- alt.nocem.misc and alt.retromod.
-
- The criteria used to search for this batch of large binaries were:
- NEWSGROUPS: Unmoderated akr, biz, comp, misc, news, rec, or sci
- (except for comp.binaries.apple2 and rec.games.bolo)
- BINARY: (base64, binhex, uuencode, and xbtoa encoded files, etc.)
- SIZE: > 100,000 characters (size * number of parts, if multi-part)
-
- If you must post a binary to Usenet, please post it *only* to an
- appropriate binaries newsgroup such as alt.binaries.misc, and do *not*
- crosspost it to non-binaries groups. This permits news administrators
- and users to decide for themselves whether to receive binary files.
-
- Please direct public feedback to news.admin.net-abuse.misc and private
- feedback to red@redpoll.mrfs.oh.us. Thanks.

- Best wishes,
