This is a regular posting of the charter of uk.games.video.gameboy. Please
direct any enquiries to the newsgroup.

===============================================

Charter of uk.games.video.gameboy (Not Moderated)

This group is for the discussion of the Nintendo Game Boy range
(including the Game Boy, the Game Boy Pocket, the Game Boy Color, and
the Game Boy Advance, plus any future handhelds from Nintendo bearing
the "Game Boy" name) and its games and peripherals.

Links to UK focused web sites, relating to the GameBoy are welcome, but
should not be repeated more than once a month.

Reviews, hints, tips and cheats are welcome, however spoilers should be
protected with spoiler space of between 10 and 25 lines. Long reviews or
solutions (100 lines or more) should be placed on a web page, and its
URL posted.

Discussions related to piracy are strongly discouraged as they tend to
quickly become inflammatory and should be avoided.

Advertising
-----------

No more than 1 post per organisation/person per month and post headers
MUST be marked "FA: " (For Auction) or "FS: " (For Sale). Such adverts
should be limited to 5 lines in length.

Cross-Posting
-------------

Cross-posting in general is discouraged. Posts relating to the
connectivity between the Game Boy and other game systems is allowed
within the uk.games.video.* hierarchy. Cross-posting to newsgroups
outside of the uk.games.video.* hierarchy is strongly discouraged as it
may invite postings which do not conform to this charter.

Binaries & Formatting
---------------------

Encoded binaries (e.g. pictures, compressed files, etc.) are forbidden.
Cryptographic signatures (e.g. PGP) may be used where authentication is
important and should be as short as possible.

Posts must be readable as plain text. HTML, RTF and similarly formatted
messages are prohibited. To see how to make your newsreader comply with
