This is Usenet. This group is not moderated.
It was started by petition and review, but don't know by whom.

I'm curious as to why you are asking. Were you planning on taking
something up with the moderator if there were one here?

Usenet exists in the classic sense of anarchy. Essentially no rules,
except those evolved through its time on the Net and accepted by a
large number of the members. Some might call it mob rule - I prefer to
see it as pure democracy. As such, any member has as much right to
anything about it as any other member.

Which means that if I, or you Connor, have anything to say about the
group, either in how it should be run, or a particular complaint, we
have full and equal rights as members to voice them in the forum. It
also means that we don't have a single person or group of people with
whom we can complain to. It's all or nothing.

I've been a member of both moderated and unmoderated groups. I much
prefer the unmoderated.

Reminds me of an incident when an engineer had posted a URL in another
newsgroup. It was to a very technical oriented website. I went there and
looked at it and it was some very funny soft core porn. I thought he was
playing a prank on us. I made a joke. So did other readers.

A week or two later it came up again and some more jokes. But he was quite
serious and could not understand why everybody was not taking him seriously.
I pointed out what was at the URL he gave us. But he insisted that was not
the case.

So I copied the website and showed him what we were seeing. He was shocked
and then understood all the racy and crude remarks that were made. It turns
out that this was a supplier of specialized parts at his job. And they had
no idea that somebody was hijacking their URL and redirecting potential and
current customers to a porn site.

I pointed out that they probably did not know this and it may be a good idea
to notify the company and have them rectify the situation. He did and they
were super shocked. They got somebody on it and took care of it right away.
Apparently some hackers were hijacking various websites and geting paid so
much per hit on the porn sites. The hackers got caught and were arrested.

Because to the greatest extent, you don't contribute much to a newspaper or

A cabal is a number of persons united in some close design, usually to
promote their private views and interests in a church, state, or other
community by intrigue. Cabals are secret organizations composed of a few
designing persons; a political cabal is often called a junta. The term can
also be used to refer to the designs of such persons. The term also holds
a general meaning of intrigue and conspiracy. Its usage carries strong
connotations of shadowy corners and insidious influence; a cabal is more
evil and selective than, say, a faction, which is simply selfish. Because
of this negative connotation, few organizations use the term to refer to
themselves or their internal subdivisions. Among the exceptions is
Discordianism, in which the term is used to refer to an identifiable group
within the Discordian tradition.

Morris, I used to have a FortuneCity account. Turns out I never saw the
popups. But when I went there from someone else's computer, they were
all over the place. Some have even said they install spyware under
some circumstances.

Having ActiveX disabled (if you're using Windoze) seems to get rid of
all or most of the problem. Which, of course, everyone should do
anyway.
