A number of moderated groups exist on the net. These are groups which
usually have one or more individuals (acting as editors and/or
moderators) who must approve articles before they are published to the
net. In general, these groups fall into one of five categories:

1) Groups with postings of an informative nature not suited to
discussion and always originating from the same (very small) group
of posters. Groups within this category include mod.newslists,
mod.announce.newusers, and mod.map.

2) Groups derived from "net" groups with such a high volume that
it is hard for the average reader to keep up. The moderated
versions of these groups are an attempt to provide a lower volume
and higher quality version of the same forum. Examples of
this category include mod.announce and mod.os.unix.

3) Groups derived from "net" groups which have often been abused.
That is, the "net" groups often received postings of items which
were not germane to the stated topic of the group (or sometimes even
within the realm of politeness for the net). This also includes
groups suffering from an annoying number of duplicate postings and
innappropriate followups. Moderated groups in this category include
mod.sources and mod.motss.

4) Groups designed to serve also as direct feedback to an off-the-net
group. The discussions in mod.std.mumps and mod.std.c fall into this
category.

5) Groups which are gatewayed into the Usenet from an Arpa Internet
mailing list. These groups are moderated by someone on the Internet
side but are shared with the Usenet population. Submissions mailed
to the proper addresses, given below, will appear in both the "mod"
group on Usenet, and the Internet list. Some of these groups do not
actually have a moderator, but instead act as automatic remailers to
both networks.

To post to a "mod" group, write your article and mail it to the listed
SUBMISSION address. The moderator will then do the actual posting of
the article. The news software on the Usenet will not allow direct
posting to moderated newsgroups, nor will it forward unauthorized
articles to other sites. The only way to post to a moderated group is
to mail it to the moderator.

Depending on the newsgroup involved, if the moderator feels that your
article is inappropriate for the group, s/he will return the article to
you with a suggestion for other newsgroups in which to post it, and/or
an explanation of why it is not appropriate for the moderated group.
You may still post such articles to the "net" groups as you currently
do, if such groups exist.

If you have questions or complaints about the way a moderated group is
run, contact the moderator by mail. Alternatively, you can send mail
to the mailing list "moder...@cbosgd.att.COM" and it will be rebroadcast
to all of the current Usenet-only newsgroup moderators.

Below is a list of the current moderated groups and the moderators of
those groups. Included in that list are the addresses to use if you
have questions of comments about the groups. After that is given a list
of addresses for submissions of articles to those groups. If your site
is running 2.10.2 or later news, these addresses can be used to build
the "moderators" file so that "postnews" can automatically mail an
article to the correct moderator. If you are NOT running 2.10.2 news,
you are *STRONGLY* advised to upgrade to it so as to take advantage of
this feature, as well as the numerous bug fixes and other
enhancements.

The addresses are given in Internet/domain form. If a site has an
Internet address, that is given in the list, otherwise a UUCP address
is given. Sites reachable via other direct addresses are given in the
correspondence list just below. If you are a UUCP-only site, you can
mail to an ARPA (EDU, GOV, etc.)-only site by mailing through the
gateways (seismo and ucbvax) using a uucp-style path. Thus, to submit
an article to the mod.protocols.appletalk group, for example, mail it
to:
...!{seismo,ucbvax}!c.cs.cmu.edu!info-applebus

For those of you not currently using the UUCP map data, the following
can be used to derive uucp mail paths:
...!{akgua,ihnp4}!abnji
...!{akgua,gatech,ihnp4,ulysses}!cbosgd
