The newgroup message for uk.games.video.misc has just been issued.
For your newsgroups file:
uk.games.video.misc UK-centric discussion of video games
Charter for unmoderated group uk.games.video.misc
Group for the UK-centric discussion of all aspects of the video-game
industry, except those for which existing newsgroups exist in the
uk.games.video.* hierarchy.
Although the focus will primarily be the discussion of current gaming
technology (including - but obviously not limited to - PCs, N64s, Saturns,
Amigas), discussion of older systems are more than welcome.
Discussion of the publications available for the video-games user (whether
printed or electronically published) is allowed.
Announcements of websites containing information relevant to the newsgroup
(eg. tip sites, review sites, etc) are welcome.
Hints and tips would also be welcome, but should be indicated either in
the subject line, or by adding a warning and sufficient "spoiler space"
within the post.
"MCIBTYC" (My Computer/Console Is Better Than Your Computer/Console)
flamewars are dull, pointless and therefore to be avoided at all costs.
The advertising of items for sale (whether as a commercial company, or as
an individual) is banned. There is a uk.adverts.* hierarchy for that kind
of thing.
Posting of information relating to piracy or the illegal use of video
games technology (mod-chips, etc) is banned.
Basic netiquette should be adhered to at all times. In short: Binary
posting is banned, and attachments in other formats (eg. HTML, VCF, etc)
are frowned-upon heavily, as are excessively long signature files.
