-
- A number of moderated groups exist on the net. These are groups which
- usually have one or more individuals (acting as editors and/or
- moderators) who must approve articles before they are published to the
- net. In general, these groups fall into one of five categories:
-
- 1) Groups with postings of an informative nature not suited to
- discussion and always originating from the same (very small) group
- of posters. Groups within this category include news.lists,
- news.announce.newusers, and comp.mail.maps.
-
- 2) Groups derived from regular groups with such a high volume that
- it is hard for the average reader to keep up. The moderated
- versions of these groups are an attempt to provide a lower volume
- and higher quality version of the same forum. Examples of
- this category include news.announce and comp.unix.
-
- 3) Groups derived from regular groups which have often been abused.
- That is, the regular groups often received postings of items which
- were not germane to the stated topic of the group (or sometimes even
- within the realm of politeness for the net). This also includes
- groups suffering from an annoying number of duplicate postings and
- inappropriate followups. Moderated groups in this category include
- comp.sources.unix.
-
- 4) Groups designed to serve also as direct feedback to an off-the-net
- group. The discussion in comp.std.mumps is an example of this.
-
- 5) Groups which are gatewayed into the Usenet from an Arpa Internet
- mailing list. These groups are moderated by someone on the Internet
- side but are shared with the Usenet population. Submissions mailed
- to the proper addresses, given below, will appear in both the group
- on Usenet, and the Internet list. This includes some groups in
- the "inet" distribution which are listed here for completeness:
- comp.ai.vision, comp.lang.clu and rec.mag.fsfnet.
-
- To post to a moderated group, write your article and mail it to the
- listed SUBMISSION address. The moderator will then do the actual
- posting of the article. The news software on the Usenet will not allow
- direct posting to moderated newsgroups, nor will it forward
- unauthorized articles to other sites. The only way to post to a
- moderated group is to mail it to the moderator. If you are running
- 2.11 news or later, your news software will automatically mail your
- article to the moderator if you attempt to post it. Thus, posting to a
- moderated newsgroup should appear the same as posting to any other
- group (except you don't see the posting right away).
-
- Depending on the newsgroup involved, if the moderator feels that your
- article is inappropriate for the group, s/he will return the article to
- you with a suggestion for other newsgroups in which to post it, and/or
- an explanation of why it is not appropriate for the moderated group.
- You may still post such articles to the regular groups as you currently
- do, if such groups exist.
-
- If you have questions or complaints about the way a moderated group is
- run, contact the moderator by mail. Alternatively, you can send mail
- to the mailing list "moderators@purdue.edu" and it will be rebroadcast
- to all of the current Usenet-only newsgroup moderators.
-
- Below is a list of the current moderated groups and the moderators of
- those groups. Included in that list are the addresses to use if you
- have questions of comments about the groups. After that is given a list
- of addresses for submissions of articles to those groups. If your site
- is running 2.10.2 or 2.10.3 news, these addresses can be used to build
- the "moderators" file so that "postnews" can automatically mail an
- article to the correct moderator.
-
- If your system is running 2.11 news, posting to moderated newsgroups
- is done by mailing your submission to well-defined aliases at a nearby
- well-connected site. The mail path to that site should be in your
- news library, in the file "mailpaths" -- there is no need to update
- a moderators file. Information on how to construct the paths in the
- "mailpaths" file are posted monthly in a companion article.
-
- If you are NOT running 2.11 news, you are *STRONGLY* advised to upgrade
- to it so as to take advantage of this feature, as well as the numerous
- bug fixes and other enhancements.
-
- The addresses below are given in Internet/domain form. If a site has
- an Internet address, that is given in the list, otherwise a UUCP
- pseudo-domain address is given. If you are a UUCP-only site, you can
- mail to an ARPA (EDU, GOV, etc.)-only site by mailing through the
- gateways using a uucp-style path, e.g.:
- ...!{clyde,decuac,mcnc,ucsd,uw-beaver,watmath}!site.arpa!address
