Alt.binaries.pictures.utilities is for the posting of source or binary
executables of pictures-related software.
Any alt.binaries.pictures groups NOT mentioned above are either "splinter"
groups or are otherwise not officially sanctioned because their charter is
covered under one of the "official" pictures newsgroups. Any postings to
those newsgroups are likely to be rare, and probably will also not get very
good propagation to other sites...
Comp.sources.misc is a good place for image-viewing source code.
Comp.graphics is a good place for discussion of image formats.
Alt.graphics.pixutils is for discussion of image format translation.
Throughout the remainder of this document, any newsgroup in the
alt.binaries.pictures.* hierarchy WITHOUT the '.d' extension (including, but
not limited to alt.binaries.pictures.erotica, alt.binaries.pictures.tasteless,
and alt.binaries.pictures.misc) will be referred to as "the pictures
newsgroups", and those WITH the '.d' extension (including, but not limited to
alt.binaries.pictures.d and alt.binaries.pictures.erotica.d) will be referred
to as "the discussion newsgroups". These two types of newsgroups work
basically the same way as the comp.binaries.ibm.pc and c.b.i.p.d groups; one
is for posting new material, and one is for discussing posts and other issues.
BY FAR THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECT OF ABP* ETIQUETTE IS:
The pictures newsgroups are for pictures ONLY (if it's not a picturmonthly fee, and also provide dial-up services for PCs: netcom.com,
digex.com, a2i.rahul.net).
Those of you without UseNet access (and therefore no way to access the
alt.internet* newsgroups) can get the necessary information via anonymous
FTP from pit-manager.mit.edu [18.72.1.58] as the file
"/pub/usenet/news.answers/internet-services.Z", on ftp.cs.ruu.nl
[131.211.80.17] as the file "/pub/NEWS.ANSWERS/internet-services", or from
ftp.uu.net [137.39.1.2, 137.39.1.9, or 192.48.96.2] in the file
"/usenet/news.answers/internet-services.Z". You can also get the
alt.internet.services FAQ via UUCP by retrieving the file
"uunet!/archive/usenet/news.answers/internet-services".
For an e-mail version of the alt.internet.services FAQ, send a message
to mail-server@pit-manager.mit.edu with the mail body
"send usenet/news.answers/internet-services" or e-mail to
mail-server@cs.ruu.nl with "send NEWS.ANSWERS/internet-services" in the
body of the message.
That said, on to the usage policies of the alt.binaries.pictures*
newsgroups:
Alt.binaries.pictures.erotica is for erotic pictures ONLY.
Erotic (adj): Of or arousing sexual feelings or desires; having to do
with sexual love; amatory.
ONLY the erotica newsgroups should be used for pictures of human nudity
or any form of pornography.
Alt.binaries.pictures.erotica.d is for the Discussion of pix in ABPE, etc.
Alt.binaries.pictures.tasteless is for "tasteless", "bizarre", or
"grotesque" pictures ONLY.
Alt.binaries.pictures.fractals is for fractal pictures ONLY.
Alt.binaries.pictures.misc is for the remaining types of pictures ONLY.
Alt.binaries.pictures.d is for the Discussion of pix in ABPT, ABPF, ABPM, etc.
Alt.binaries.pictures.fine-art.graphics is for the posting of ORIGINAL
artwork created using computer programs ONLY. Moderated.
Alt.binaries.pictures.fine-art.digitized is for the posting of scanned
ORIGINAL artwork ONLY. Moderated.
Alt.binaries.pictures.fine-art.d is for the Discusstorpedo this
process: make subject lines which do not follow sequentially.
An example:
first article's subject: "plane crash GIF: CRSH+BRN (part 1 / 4)"
subsequent articles' subjects: "CRSH+BRN (part N / 4)"
These subject lines will not be displayed and sorted correctly by NN.
However, if you change the arrangement a little, like this:
first article's subject: "CRSH+BRN (part 1/4) plane crash GIF"
subsequent articles' subjects: "CRSH+BRN (part N/4)"
you will please NN-users the world over.
VI. ANONYMOUS FTP
A word about anonymous FTP and GIF files. When you log onto a remote
machine via anonymous FTP, please try to restrict yourself to no more
then ten minutes of transmission time, or about five to ten files. As
you can imagine, when people discover a new archive of GIF files,
they are all hot to download every one they can, and often they jam up
the site for *days*. You'll notice this effect the first time some
bozo announces the name of a new GIF archive. You won't be able to
get through without persistent efforts over several hours or even a
day or two. Then the system administrators of that site notice that
they have had about $5,000 worth of anonymous FTP over the last two
days, and revoke the anonymous FTP privilege. Now every one is
screwed.
Be considerate; grab only a few files and then let someone else have a
chance. This probably won't solve the problem in the long term (still
everyone and his dog will be ftp'ing into that machine), but at least
it will spread the wealth a bit.
As for anonymous FTP sites for erotica pictures, THEY DO NOT EXIST (except
of course for that long-standing favorite, 127.0.0.1 - the Internet
loop-back address... your own machine, of course!). Even if you find an
anonymous FTP site that *appears* to have erotica pictures, it is merely an
illusion. As the sage once said, "Revel in your illusions, don't share
them." The effects of sharing your illusion in this case *ALWAYS* results
in your illusion being rendered non-existent (in one way or another). For
this very same reason, it is considered very poor form to ask someone else
to share their illusions with you. If you were considering asking for a
list of anonymous FTP sites with erotica pictures -- don't.
VII. "REPOST" REQUESTS
Your absolutely last course of action should be to ask for a repost of
an article. There are so very many other ways that the download and
decode process could have failed, you should be very sure that none of
these steps went south BEFORE asking for a repost. After you have
exhausted all of the possibilities from your end, post to the discussion
newsgroup and request someone to send you their (working) copy. If
enough people post requests of this sort, eventually the original
poster will usually re-post it. If you're the only person with a
problem, someone is bound to send you the file, and you'll save the
net 'hundreds if not thousands of dollars.'
Also, just because you've already read an article doesn't mean it has
vanished off the face of the earth. It is a fairly simple matter to get
back to articles you've already read (unless your site administrator
has removed them or they've expired). There are essentially four methods
to accomplish this (examples assume you're using rn):
1. Assuming you know the article number(s) of the postings, just
enter the article number from within that newsgroup. Voila!
2. Since you probably DON'T know the article number, once you are
in the appropriate newsgroup, you can step backwards or forwards
through the articles by using "P" (previous) and "N" (next).
3. So you don't know the article number, and you don't want to step
backwards through 50+ articles - what now? As long as you
remember something from the subject line of the article, you can
use regular expressions to search backwards, using the command
"?pattern?r", where pattern is the part you remember. For
example, you read an article with the word "howdy" in the subject,
then decide later you want to get back to that article. Just get
into the right newsgroup, then enter "?howdy?r" and rn will search
back through all the articles you've read to find the last one
with "howdy" somewhere in the title. Not the right one? Enter
"?", and rn will retrieve the next-to-last article with "howdy"
in the title.
4. You can modify your .newsrc file so that articles are no longer
marked as being read (this file usually resides in your home
directory). This is especially valuable if you forgot the name
of a particular posting, but you know it was in the last ?x?
number articles. For example, if your .newsrc file reads:
alt.binaries.pictures.misc: 1-2380
...and you know that the article you're looking for was in the
last 30 or so postings, you could edit this line to read:
alt.binaries.pictures.misc: 1-2350
...so that your news reader would think that you hadn't yet seen
these articles (of course you'll have to re-sort through many
other articles you've already seen, but hopefully you'll at least
be able to find the "lost" article!). IMPORTANT NOTE!!: If you
edit your .newsrc file, make *absolutely sure* that you aren't
currently running a news reader session - this may munge the
.newsrc file, or cause other undefined or undesirable side-effects.
By using these techniques, you won't have to ask for someone to e-mail you a
copy or to re-post the article, since you already have it and know how to
get back to it!
VIII. TEST POSTS
If you're trying out a new method of posting, or if you are posting a
picture for the first time, or if it's been a while since you posted a
picture and you're not really sure you remember all the details on how to
do it right, by all means, PLEASE DO A TEST POSTING FIRST! Test postings
should *NEVER* be made in any of the pictures newsgroups or the pictures
discussion newsgroups - there are plenty of test newsgroups made for just
this purpose (local.test is your best choice, misc.test is also nice).
Wherever you do your test posting, make sure to add the line
Distribution: local
in the heading so your post doesn't go outside your site. Make sure that
you can download, re-construct, and view the picture you've posted. Then,
when you're satisfied that all is well, post it into the appropriate
pictures newsgroup!
IX. DEALING WITH THOSE WHO DON'T/WON'T FOLLOW ETIQUETTE
How should you react if you notice someone violating any of these items
of netiquette? It depends on what they've done, of course. In the case
of some posting that you find offensive, the best course of action is
just to ignore it. 95% of the time, these people are just trying to pull
someone's chain - and they are usually pretty successful (I can't tell
you how many megabytes of responses I've seen to just one sentence of
crap). Another 3% of the time, someone has left themselves logged in and
is having a "joke" played on them by a "friend". The other 2% of the time,
they actually believe what they are saying. In this case, do you really
think that they care that you find what they say offensive? Especially in
the last case, silence does more to thwart their behavior than anything
else. Refusing to even acknowledge someone usually damages them more than
you could possibly hope to do by responding to them in any way. Don't even
waste the time, effort, and money (after all, someone *is* paying for what
you say, somewhere) to follow up.
In the case of posting a discussion to a pictures newsgroup, probably the
*worst* thing you can possibly do is follow-up to the offending posting
and yourself violate the same rule! After all, what good are you doing
by complaining about someone violating a rule you ignore yourself? If you
really *must* follow-up to this type of posting, make sure and edit the
Newsgroups: line so that your post is re-directed to the discussion
newsgroup. Another technique you might try is just ignoring the post -
if enough people did this, it's entirely likely that there would soon be
no discussion at all in the pictures newsgroups, except for the occasional
newbie or someone not wise enough to read this FAQ - and they'd learn
eventually. I suggest the following course of action, in order of
preference:
1) Respond via e-mail. Gently suggest that they take discussion to
the discussion newsgroup. Answer the question/request if you can.
Suggest that they read this FAQ to get more information and to
better understand pictures newsgroup etiquette.
2) Follow-up only if you can answer the question/request, re-directing
your posting to the appropriate discussion newsgroup (edit the
Newsgroups: line). Suggest that they read this FAQ to get more
information and to better understand pictures newsgroup etiquette.
3) Ignore the posting. They'll most likely get the hint eventually.
4) Follow-up only if you can answer the question/request, re-directing
the follow-ups of your posting to the appropriate discussion
newsgroup (edit the Followup-to: line -- your posting will go to
the pictures newsgroup, but anyone following up to your posting
will go to the discussion newsgroup). Gently suggest that this
type of posting belongs in the discussion newsgroup, and that
that's where follow-ups have been re-directed. Maybe even throw
in a small uuencoded picture at the end of your posting, just to
make it "legal". Suggest that they read this FAQ to get more
information and to better understand pictures newsgroup etiquette.
The more people that respond in a positive way, the fewer the flame wars,
and the more pictures vs. discussion will end up in the pictures
newsgroups! That *is* what we're here for, after all!

HISTORY OF THIS FAQ:
This file originally began life as the FAQ for alt.sex.pictures, and
was first created and maintained by Dave Read (readdm@ccwf.cc.utexas.edu).
Minor changes and a few additions to clean it up a bit and make it a little
more relevant to the alt.binaries.pictures group were made by Steven M.
Quinn (steveq@umbc5.umbc.edu). A hierarchy of pictures groups (all under
alt.binaries.pictures) was put into place in the fall of 1991, and since
that time, Jim Howard (deej@cadence.com) has come forward to take over
the maintenance of the "new" FAQ.

* Thanx to both James Ralston Crawford (qralston@cislabs.pitt.edu) and
Silver (gaynor@blaze.rutgers.edu) for input and suggestions on posting
volume.

That's about it for the "general etiquette" information. General pictures
information is continued in part 2 of this FAQ. If you have any
suggestions for things to include in future versions, don't hesitate
to let me know...
