Posting this Newsgropup's Charter
Seems to be that time of year again for everyone to have a gander at the
Charter for this rec. newsgroup. For those who don't know what this rec.*.* NG's charter is the whole process including the votes can be viewed here: ftp://ftp.uu.net/usenet/news.announc...rs.jeep+willys Here is the Charter text quoted: RATIONALE: rec.autos.makers.jeep+willys The discussion of Jeep 4 wheel drive vehicles began on the offroad mailing list as well as on the Usenet group rec.autos.4x4. As the offroad mailing list grew in size, the Jeep-L listserver was set up to discuss topics specifically to Jeep and Willys vehicles. At this time there are more that 50 articles sent to the Jeep listserver, as well as > 50 articles being sent on the offroad server daily. The volume on the usenet group rec.autos.4x4 exceeds 125 articles daily. It has been suggested that a new Usenet group be created to take the load off of the listservers as well as limit the articles in the rec.autos.4x4 newsgroup. CHARTER: rec.autos.makers.jeep+willys The unmoderated newsgroup rec.autos.makers.jeep+willys is to be used for discussions, announcements, expression of opinions, and questions about Jeep (Trade Mark) and Willys vehicles. It also serves as a medium for those interested in sharing and exchanging their experience. It is also meant to be a forum for buying and selling parts by non-commercial vendors. Some things that could be discussed.... -Jeep/Willys history -repairs and modifications -parts exchange -technical information -4x4 driving experiences -vehicle restoration -new vehicle evaluations Some things that shouldn't be discussed.... -4 wheel drive vehicles made by other manufacturers -commercial posts The articles sent to the Jeep listserver will be cross-posted to Usenet but not vise versa. END CHARTER. End quote. Just thought we all needed a reminder that this isn't a free for all alt.*.* group but a rec.*.* group that at least has some basic rules.

Re: Posting this Newsgropup's Charter
Discussion of the charter isn't listed in the approved discussions list.
Maybe you should mark it as off-topic. ;-) Sorry, couldn't resist being a smart ass. Actually I think it was needed. I just went to google and 8 of the most recent 25 active threads had to deal with Lloyd! Thankfully I have killfiled most people or related threads so it hasn't been a big deal for me. |
