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 news.lists,
news.announce.newusers, and comp.mail.maps.

2) Groups derived from regular 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. An example of
this category is news.announce.newgroups (a reduced form of
news.groups).

3) Groups derived from regular groups that have often been abused.
That is, the regular groups often received postings of items that
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
inappropriate followups. Moderated groups in this category include
comp.sources.unix.

4) Groups designed to serve also as direct feedback to an off-the-net
group. The discussion in comp.std.mumps is an example of this.

5) Groups which are gatewayed into the Usenet from an 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 group
on Usenet, and the Internet list. This includes some groups in
the "inet" distribution which are listed here for completeness:
comp.ai.vision and rec.mag.fsfnet.

To post to a moderated 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. If your system is
running a version of news more recent than B news 2.10 -- including C
News and INN -- your news software will automatically mail your
article to the moderator if you attempt to post it. Thus, posting to
a moderated newsgroup should appear the same as posting to any other
group (except you don't see the posting right away).

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 regular groups as you currently
do, if such groups exist.

If you have questions or complaints about the way a moderated group is
run, please contact the moderator by mail. If you don't get a response
in a reasonable amount of time, you can send mail to the mailing list
"moderato...@uunet.uu.net" and it will be rebroadcast to many
electronic group moderators, who might be able to help.

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. These
addresses can be used to build the "moderators" file so that
"postnews" can automatically mail an article to the correct moderator.

Note that many of the aliases at the end of this file are for
newsgroups in hierarchies other than the "main Usenet." These aliases
have been collected from a number of different sources, including the
alias file at uunet.uu.net, and they may not be completely accurate
over time. You may wish to trim some of these aliases if you don't
get the newsgroups indicated.

If your system is running a version of news more recent than B news
2.10 -- including C News and INN -- posting to moderated newsgroups is
done by mailing your submission to well-defined aliases at a nearby
well-connected site. The mail path to that site should be in your
news library, in the file "mailpaths" -- there is no need to update a
moderators file with the information in this article, nor is there a
need for you to mail your articles individually. Information on how
to construct the paths in the "mailpaths" file so this works correctly
are posted in a companion article.

If you are NOT running a recent version of 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 below are given in Internet/domain form. If you are a
UUCP-only site, you can mail to an Internet (EDU, GOV, etc.)-only site
by mailing through the gateways using a uucp-style path, e.g.:
...!{mcnc,rutgers,ucsd,uunet,uw-beaver,watmath}!site.domain!address
