I have been using ADSL for almost 3 years and only encounter this problem at the
other end. Virtually all non-binary newsgroups occasionally have binaries
posted and most ISPs don't appear to care. Those who do care appear to be
trying to cut costs (ISP peering fees are traffic based).
I suggest that you find an alternate ISP. There must be plenty of competition
in high speed access in New York.

Paul, many of us cross-post in alt.binaries.pictures.erotica.female.bodybuilder
as well. But if it's also true that several providers don't carry the erotica
newsgroups, so maybe your idea is not so bad after all.

Free heaven, C-P's World of Muscle : http://www.worldofmuscle.com
Fitness/bodybuilding web sites design & hosting : http://www.fitladies.com
The only thing i could suggest is PERHAPS trying to a). post even more stuff in
the spam laddened alt.erotica.pictures fbb ng or b). use fitness-centerolds to
do the posting (Bill's done it many times0.

How fast is your cable modem because Verizon's dsl service is 640kb down for 40
dollars (I switched to 1.6mb down recently and I'm taking a hit for it :(
iT NeVEr eNdS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Personally I won't miss the crap that Goode posts, so good ridence to
him.

What did I twll you.

Yeah, one: Forget it. Knowing that you will be posting there the new
group will fill up with spam quicker than a bowl of mashed potatoes. Abd
then we'll have idiots crossposting to this newsgroup that their ISP
doesn't carry the new group so could you please crosspost your
binary...ad nauseum.
A law of science: two idiots can't make a half baked idea work. If you
and Yuggos were the least bit capable of taliking with your ISP you
would get binaries carried in this newsgroup as per the FAQ.
But my guess is that you are too God awful dumb to even find the FAQ,
And if you're too dumb to get your ISP to carry binaries in what is a
binary newsgroup to begin with then how are you gonna get him to carry
the new newsgroup???? Hello???

alt.binaries.pictures.erotica.female.bodybuilder was started just for
that purpose!!! Paul, you were around when we had the whole discussion
and started that group. Why aren't you posting there already?

If you want to, make sure that you don't include "women" or "female" in
the title. That's probably what the porn spammers mostly look for, and
why they don't spam ABFC so much. alt.binaries.amazons might work.
Doh! maybe you should try one of the new "no spam" hierarchies in your
new newsgroup quest, such as
alt.binaries.nospam.DopeyDobbinsPics.
Come to think of it, that would make a fine newsgroup title! Except
nospam and Dobbins are mutually exclusive.

Before the message reach your server it goes through several other
(in many cases 20-30) servers. If anyone of those servers block
binaries the message will never reach your server. Maybe there is a
"clear" path between C-P's and your server.
How does "nospam" guarantee that there will be no spam in that group?
I thought the only way spam could 100% be taken care of is through use
of a moderator. Do "nospam" groups automatically delete crossposting?

There is a basic problem and contradiction here: If Goode forms a
"nospam" group then he is obviously not allowed to post there.
Kinda a Catch-22 with the added benefit of not having to put up with
spammer Goode anymore.

Not really sure how the spammers go about selecting NGs, but that line of
thought seems plausable enough. Since the people who will use and promote the
propsed NG will be AAWA'ers and other related NGs how about alt.binaries.AAWA
which is cryptic to anyone not in the know. Any femuscle admirerers will
ineviably find out about it from a related website or NG. Unless the spammers
are actually visiting groups to learn the subject matter, a somewhat cryptic
name might help. I think Poster was on the right track with that suggestion.
The moderator idea is a possibility as well, though for a binaries NG it
would be a tremendous burden on the moderator(s), even those with high
bandwidth connections... face it, that is a LOT of downloading, and reviewing
for anyone (single or multiple moderators alike) to do on a regular basis.
