Introduction The purpose of this document is to assist new and existing moderators in understanding what is involved in moderating a newsgroup. This document contains information about how the moderation process works, how to get started, where to get existing moderation posting software, what NetNews related problems moderators may encounter, and where to get additional help if needed. In the past, most moderators learned on-the-job, and there was not much documentation available about what was expected of a moderator. This document attempts to aid new moderators in understanding what it is that they have gotten themselves into. This document will also be useful to those wishing to volunteer to be a moderator. Within this document, Usenet refers to the traditional core hierarchies of comp, misc, news, rec, sci, soc and talk. The term 'Network News' (or 'NetNews') refers to all hierarchies that use the same transport and reader mechanisms that the traditional core hierarchies do. Moderation of newsgroups is transcending the traditional core Usenet news hierarchies as many organizations are using NetNews software for internal use. Also, many non-core hierarchies, such as alt, biz, bionet, etc., contain moderated newsgroups. It is the intent of the author that this document also be of use to those who are not Usenet moderators but are moderating NetNews newsgroups nevertheless. It is expected that readers of this document are already familiar with NetNews, at least from a user's perspective, and have been exposed to network tools such as FTP. A complete explanation of NetNews jargon and culture is beyond the scope of this document.

What does 'moderated' mean ? 'Moderated' means that all postings to the newsgroup go to a mail address (e.g., [email protected]) instead of appearing in the newsgroup directly. The postings are then forwarded via email to a moderator, or group of moderators, or even an automated program, who decides whether to actually inject the article into the newsgroup or to reject it as not meeting guidelines spelled out in the group's charter. The main purpose of newsgroup moderation is to prevent inappropriate posts to the newsgroup.

Getting Started (Netiquette) Consult various Netiquette links The Seven Don'ts of Usenet Google Groups Posting Style Guide Introduction to Usenet and Netiquette from NewsWatcher manual Quoting Style by Richard Kettlewell Other languages: o Voila! Francois. o Usenet News German o Netiquette auf Deutsch! Some notes from me: Read a newsgroup for a while before posting o By reading the group without posting (known as "lurking") for a while, or by reading the group archives on Google, you get a sense of the scope and tone of the group. Consult the FAQ before posting. o See Newsgroups page to find the FAQ for a particular group o FAQ stands for Frequently Asked Questions o a FAQ has not only the questions, but the answers! o Thus by reading the FAQ you don't post questions that have been asked (and answered) ad infinitum See the configuring software section regarding test posts (only post tests to groups with name ending in ".test") and not posting a duplicate post in the mistaken belief that your initial post did not go through. Don't do "drive through" posts. o Frequently someone who has an urgent question will post to a group he/she does not usually read, and then add something like "Please reply to me directly since I don't normally read this group." o Newsgroups are meant to be a shared experience.

  • How Ro Download a File on Giganews How to Download Using Usenet
    how ro download a file on giganews How to Download Using Usenet. wikiHow is a “wiki,” similar to Wikipedia, which means that many of our articles are co-written by multiple authors. To create this article, 16 people, some anonymous, worked to edit and improve it over time. The wikiHow Tech Team also followed the article's instructions and verified that they work. This article has been viewed 149,534 times. Just as we once debated between Blockbuster and Hollywood Video, we have many choices when it comes to downloading. One of the oldest and best downloading sites is Usenet. Usenet downloads from a single server, making it among the safest and fastest ways to download. It’s slightly more complicated than other options, and it does have a small price tag, but it’s worth it: Usenet has a wealth of media, it’s secure, and thanks to Usenet’s strict policies, the risk of piracy is low. The following article will guide you through the process downloading with Usenet and get you on your way to enjoying the vast Usenet community. So Your Download Is Incomplete? Alas, this is something every Usenet user goes through sometime in his career. You’ve found the file you were searching for, started downloading, and were already imagining watching the movie, listening to the piece of music or otherwise using it, and there it is, the whole, ugly truth: Your download is damaged beyond repair, no chance to do anything about it. Or is there? First, let us briefly explain what exactly happened here.

A survey of 42 Usenet newsgroups was made in November 1996 to explore the patterns of information formed by the contributors. The 5541 articles written by 2130 persons were analysed to identify UK participants and topics related to the UK; to measure the frequency of contributions and relate it to their authors' interests; to draw a comparison between moderated and non- moderated groups; and to indicate the most commonly discussed topics, using keywords taken from headers. A content analysis was used to check adherence to a point of netiquette and to find out to what extent two selected themes (the forthcoming election and violence in society) occupied the minds of contributors.

  • Los Newsgroups Políticos
    Hablar de política en La Red: los newsgroups políticos * Sara Bentivegna Facultad de Sociología Universitá di Roma La Sapienza Traducción de Eva Aladro (*) Corresponde al capitulo cuarto del libro de esta misma autora: LA POLíTICA IN RETE, Roma. Meltemi. 1999. Traducido con la autorización de la editorial y la propia autora. LA RED COMO OCASIÓN PARA CONVERSAR ntre las oportunidades que La Red ofrece se considera sin duda una de las más E importantes el establecimiento de una interacción entre sus usuarios, lo que per- mite el intercambio de opiniones, solicitud de informaciones, ofertas de sugerencias, toma de posturas y otros muchos servicios. En síntesis, la red permite la discusión de los más diversos argumentos en un contexto que reproduce algunas de las caracte- rísticas de la comunicación directa entre individuos aún cuando tenga lugar en un ámbito mediático. En particular, los newsgroups <grupos de discusión o de noticias) —que ponen en marcha una comunicación que sucede en modalidad asincrona1— pue- den situarse, dentro de un hipotético continuum que abarca desde la comunicación interpersonal cara a cara a la comunicación establecida a través de los media tradi- cionales, en una posición intermedia que conjuga la interactividad de la primera con la amplitud y simultaneidad de la segunda. Entre las personas que participan en un newsgroup se da de hecho la interactividad, pero al mismo tiempo tal interactividad desaparece para los sujetos que se limitan a asumir un papel de espectadores. Se trata, además, de una interactividad sui generis, de naturaleza diversa ala que pode- mos encontrar en la comunicación cara a cara: en este caso, el sujeto que interactúa exhibe directa y/o indirectamente señas de identidad, mientras que en el newsgroup el anonimato o incluso la operación de spoofing (alias humorístico), oculta al sujeto a los ojos de su interlocutor.

  • Handling Information Overload on Usenet
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by NORA - Norwegian Open Research Archives UNIVERSITY OF OSLO Department of Informatics Handling Information Overload on Usenet Advanced Caching Methods for News Jan Ingvoldstad Cand Scient Thesis 4th August 2001 Abstract Usenet is the name of a world wide network of servers for group communica- tion between people. From 1979 and onwards, it has seen a near exponential growth in the amount of data transported, which has been a strain on band- width and storage. There has been a wide range of academic research with focus on the WWW, but Usenet has been neglected. Instead, Usenet’s evolu- tion has been dominated by practical solutions. This thesis describes the history of Usenet in a growth perspective, and introduces methods for collection and analysis of statistical data for testing the usefulness of various caching strategies. A set of different caching strategies are proposed and examined in light of bandwidth and storage demands as well as user perceived performance. I have shown that advanced caching methods for news offers relief for reading servers’ storage and bandwidth capacity by exploiting usage patterns for fetching or prefetching articles the users may want to read, but it will not solve the problem of near exponential growth nor the problems of Usenet’s backbone peers. Preface When I first started my studies at the University in Oslo in the autumn of 1991, I thought I was going to be a mathematician, and followed my first class in university level mathematics with vigor.
