Faq for the group July 29, 2012 (subject to revision)
rec.crafts.metalworking, or RCM, as it's known, is a Usenet group. Persons may post to RCM, using a variety of devices, and usenet readers. Some web forums like Homeowners Hub, and Stucco company, pretend that Usenet is a web forum. Posters: There are several types of people who post to RCM. * Machinists. The group was originally founded, to provide a forum for machinsts to discuss machine working. There are a few machinists who use the forum. * Wannabees. A few people read and post, who are not machinists. These folks can be curious, questioning, ammusing, and somtimes clueless. * Trolls. Some people have no interest in machine work, but only throw insults, and try to stir up hard feelings. * Spammers. Some people, or probably robots, advertise products for sale. Often, these are not related to machine work. Moderation: This is not a moderated group, but a committee of posters (not less than five, but not more than 15) can agree by votes on the list to allow a person to continue posting. If the committee rules against the poster, there is no enforcement mechanism. |

The group was originally founded, to provide a forum for machinsts to discuss machine working. There are a few machinists who use the forum. Not all metalworking requires machinery. A lot can be done with simple hand tools. * Wannabees. A few people read and post, who are not machinists. These folks can be curious, questioning, ammusing, and somtimes clueless. * Trolls.

If the committee rules against the poster, there is no enforcement mechanism. Use a filter to drop any message cross posted to more than three groups and the traffic goes way down, even if they use multiple sock puppets. Newsproxy, AKA Nfilter can be used to drop those messages for people who use real NNTP software. |
