Posting the RAMJ+W, This Newsgroup's, CHARTER!
 

This Charter for the rec.autos.makers.jeep+willys Usenet Newsgroup needs
to be posted now and then to keep it valid so I do.

This is 'not' an 'alt' newsgroup, but a 'rec' one which isn't quite so
much of a free for all 'usually'.

Some ISP's will still take Usenet abuse seriously and a surprising
number of SPAM advertisers will stop posting here if asked nicely about
it off group with the Charter mentioned. I have had more success at
stopping commercial posters than not stopping them over the years.
Recently too.

Folks that want to be jerks and abuse Usenet aren't going to pay this
Charter any mind at all and have ISP's that let them. Such is life.

For those who don't know what this rec.*.* NG's charter is the whole
process including the votes can be viewed here:

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.

JFC Mike,

Try not to be a net nanny. Somehow, I know, that, throwing a charter
up is NOT going to do anything. Charters were followed up until about
circa ~1993, they sure as hell are not now. Give it a rest.

BTW, no ISP will give a you know what, for abusing. In fact I can
post on so many different usenet servers that are not even associated
with a real ISP. Stop wasting the finger joints.

Mike's not being a net nanny. He's been posting the charter link regularly
for years, mainly as a reminder to the regulars and as a service to the
newbies.
