Subject: 14) Weekly Admin posting on the Newsgroup
TITLE: Please Read Before Posting To This Newsgroup!!
POSTED BY: mughal@alumni.caltech.edu (Asim Mughal)
LAST UPDATE: 16 Oct 97

# AUTO POSTING #
Welcome to the soc.history.war.world-war-ii Usenet newsgroup!! Everyone i=
s
welcome to participate in this newsgroup, but there are a few things that=
the
moderators of this newsgroup would like to point out to you before you be=
gin
posting articles.
1) This is a moderated newsgroup. That means that when you post a new art=
icle
or post a follow-up to an existing article, it is mailed to a moderator f=
or
approval before it is actually posted for reading in the newsgroup. This
moderation process can take as little as a couple of hours on up to 4-5 d=
ays
depending upon a number of different conditions. If your article is rejec=
ted
for one reason or another you will receive an email message back explaini=
ng
why the article is being rejected. In addition, most moderators will also
email you a message when your article is approved. If you post an article=
and
it has not shown up within 5-6 days, you should send the moderators a mes=
sage
at ww2-mod@acpub.duke.edu before reposting the article.
2) Articles can be rejected for a variety of reasons. The most common rea=
sons
are listed below.
a) Excessive quoting. Quoting occurs when you are writing a follow-u=
p
to an existing article and you include part of that article in your
follow-up. The quoted material typically appears at the beginning of
your follow-up and each line of quoted material is preceeded by a=20
quote marker (usually the > character). Simply put, the number of=20
lines of text that you type yourself in your follow-up should exceed
the number of lines of quoted text. The reason for this rule is two-
fold: first it is good Usenet netiquette and second the moderators
have to use a special Unix utility to post approved articles. In man=
y
cases this utility will not let us post articles when the=20
excessive quoting situation exists.
b) Email replies. The purpose of this newsgroup is to encourage the
discussion of the war within the newsgroup itself. If you wish to
specify that replies be emailed to you, you have to offer to summari=
ze
back to the newsgroup all replies that you receive.
c) Improper margins. This situation occurs when your article has mor=
e
than 80 columns on each line. A main cause of this is GUI based
newsreaders that post using a proportional spaced font that places m=
ore
than 80 columns on a line. This can also happen when you use Mime
encoding.
d) Off-topic postings. All articles should directly relate to World
War II.
e) Looking for war buddies. We do not accept articles of the =93I'm=20
looking for Joe Blow who served in the U.S. 4th Division during
1944=94 type. A more appropriate newsgroup for this type of article =
is
soc.veterans.
f) For sale items. We do not accept postings offering to either sale
or purchase personal items even when they relate to the war.=20
g) Question already answered. Sometimes the answer to a question is
so obvious that we receive many duplicate replies. When this happens=
,
after we've approved the first couple or so, we will reject the=20
remaining identical answers so as to save network bandwidth.=20
h) Articles that are mailed directly to a moderator. All articles mo=
st
be posted to the newsgroup itself or mailed to the article submissio=
n
address which is ww2-sub@acpub.duke.edu.
i) Articles with invalid mail addresses.
Due to the increased amount of e-mail spam, many users now include
some extra characters in their e-mail addresses in order to fool the
spam-bots. If you do this in the World War II newsgroup, the follow=
ing
conditions apply:
=20
=20
- You must include a note in your .sig stating that you have done s=
o,
along with your correct e-mail address.=20
- Your 'fake' e-mail address must include your real address in some
altered format. For instance: ww2-mod@acpub.duke.edu_spamkiller i=
s
alright, while me@foo.bar is not.
- Your e-mail address in the From: line must be easily recognizable=
, and
not require the .sig for reconstruction.
wswp2a-mmoadm@akciplulbe.drukkei.eldlue is not acceptable.
=20
- Additionally, you may not use the address of another, real
service provider when altering your From: line. If your
address is user@foo.bar, you may not alter it to say user@aol.com.
You must also understand that without a correct e-mail address in t=
he
From: line, you will probably not receive notification that your po=
sts
have been rejected/accepted. So if you choose to use one of these
spam-defeaters, your posts might be almost untraceable by the
moderators.
3) There are two mailing lists associated with soc.history.war.world-war-=
ii.
When you post an article it is actually mailed to the ww2-sub@acpub.duke.=
edu
mailing list. This mailing list then in-turn mails the article to one of =
the
moderators. If you are having trouble posting articles within your
newsreader, you can always mail them to this submission address for appro=
val.
The other mailing list is the moderators mailing list at
ww2-mod@acpub.duke.edu. All questions about the newsgroup moderation proc=
ess
and rejection appeals should be mailed to this second mailing list.=20
4) There are currently three active moderators for this newsgroup. Their =
names
and email addresses are listed below.
Richard Miller rick@bcm.tmc.edu
Andrew McMichael amcmicha@osf1.gmu.edu
Stephen Graham graham@ee.washington.edu
