Topics inappropriate for in dfw.forsale
The following types of net abuse are severe wastes of bandwidth.
As many smaller sites are connected via slow dial-up links, and
may by paying per-minute charges, this charter allows for the
on-sight cancellation of any of the following abuses:
1. "Make Money Fast" (MMF) chain letters and pyramid/Ponzi
schemes. Such schemes are Federal felonies. On Usenet,
promoting waste of bandwidth is the equivalent of a crime
because the system would break down if such activity was left
unchecked.
2. Binaries, such as uuencoding or MIME base 64.
3. MIME/HTML posts, and in particular any posting using a
content- encoding other than 7bit, 8bit, or quoted-printable.
Most users reading Usenet do not use a Web browser, and HTML
is difficult or impossible to read to interpret the content.
Some posters who post HTML also include a plain text version
of the message.This is redundant and wasteful. Please save
HTML for the Web.

6. Excessively multiple-posted articles.

the group.

simplest text-only newsreader.

of the post.

3. Posts MUST contain a valid From address, unless the ".invalid"
domain is used (see RFC 1036). Spam blocks are acceptable. By

header with a valid email address. When RFC1036 is updated,
this line SHOULD be adjusted to comply with the latest
specifications. Adding or replacing this header is the
responsibility of the news server where the article was
injected.
Failing to follow the above formatting requirements could result
in an article being canceled instantly and without warning by an
authorized moderation device (human or otherwise) for the group
in question. Articles cross-posted to other groups and
dfw.forsale must still follow the criteria of dfw.forsale and be
subject to these rules.
