Lines: 456 Approved: spaf@cs.purdue.EDU Supersedes: <14702@ector.cs.purdue.edu> Original-from: Gene Spafford (spaf@cs.purdue.edu) [Most recent change: 23 Jul 1991 by spaf@cs.purdue.edu (Gene Spafford)] 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. An example of this category is news.announce.newgroups (a reduced form of news.groups). 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 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 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@cs.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 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 you are a UUCP-only site, you can mail to an Internet (EDU, GOV, etc.)-only site by mailing through the gateways using a uucp-style path, e.g.: ...!{mcnc,rutgers,ucsd,uunet,uw-beaver,watmath}!site.domain!address Gene Spafford 25 Jul 1991 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Group Moderator or Coordinator Requests, Comments, etc. ------------------------------------------------------------------ comp.ai.nlang-know-rep Christopher Welty nl-kr-request@cs.rpi.edu comp.ai.vision Tod Levitt vision-list-request@ads.com comp.archives Edward Vielmetti comp-archives@msen.com comp.binaries.acorn Alan Glover moderator@acorn.co.uk comp.binaries.amiga Tad Guy amiga-request@uunet.uu.net comp.binaries.atari.st Steven Grimm atari-binaries@twitterpater.eng.sun.com comp.binaries.ibm.pc Bill Davidsen ibmbin-request@crdgw1.crd.ge.com comp.binaries.mac Roger Long macintosh-request%felix.uucp@uunet.uu.net comp.binaries.os2 Tom Haapanen os2bin-request@mims-iris.waterloo.edu comp.bugs.4bsd.ucb-fixes Keith Bostic ucb-fixes-request@okeeffe.berkeley.edu comp.compilers John Levine compilers-request@iecc.cambridge.ma.us comp.dcom.telecom Patrick Townson telecom-request@eecs.nwu.edu comp.doc Brian Kantor comp-doc@ucsd.edu comp.doc.techreports (dormant) comp.lang.sigplan Stu Feldman sigplan-request@bellcore.com comp.laser-printers Richard Furuta furuta@cs.umd.edu comp.mail.maps Mel Pleasant uucpmap@rutgers.edu comp.newprod Ron Heiby newprod-request@chg.mcd.mot.com comp.org.fidonet Tim Pozar pozar@hop.toad.com comp.os.research Darrell Long darrell@jupiter.ucsc.edu comp.parallel Dennis Stevenson hypercube-request@hubcap.clemson.edu comp.protocols.kermit Frank da Cruz info-kermit-request@watsun.cc.columbia.edu comp.research.japan Rick Schlichting rick@cs.arizona.edu comp.risks Peter G.
