  1. Usenet II

    nofootnotes date September 2009 Usenet II was a proposed alternative to the classic Usenet hierarchy, started in 1998 . Unlike the original Usenet, it was peered only between sound sites and employs a system of rules to keep out spam. The network still exists, but has carried almost no posts apart from FAQs for many years. The newsgroup hierarchy revived the old naming system used by Usenet before the Great Renaming . All groups had names starting net. , which serve to distinguish them from the Big 8 misc., sci., news., rec., soc., talk., comp., humanities. . A separate checkgroup system, using the same technical mechanism as the one produced by David C. Lawrence for the Big 8, enforced the Usenet II hierarchy and prevents the creation of unauthorized newsgroups within it. The basic principles ... responsible for the content of specific portions of the namespace, or hierarchies. Usenet II had strictly enforced rules. Readers of messages in Usenet II must be fully compliant with the RFC 1036 Usenet standard plus some additional format compliance rules specific to Usenet II. A message header must ... every day or every week is not permitted. There are a number of Usenet II hosts still operating, but traffic is largely limited to FAQ postings. The effort to extend Usenet II was abandoned as technical means to fight spam and other abuse on traditional Usenet became more effective and spammers migrated from Usenet to email. Usenet II policies have been adopted by private and restricted distribution Usenet hierarchies.

Concerned by abusive posts emanating from certain anonymous posting sites, Depew developed ARMM to allow news administrators to automatically issue cancel messages for such posts. This was a controversial act, as many news administrators and users were concerned about censorship of the netnews medium.

Reid distinguishes between electronic printing the production of individual documents and electronic publishing the full process including dissemination . The USENET cookbook was a collaboratively produced cookbook. Recipes were solicited from contributors worldwide. They were heavily copy editing edited for style and content and distributed by email weekly later, they were distributed on the USENET newsgroup alt.gourmand . Recipes were distributed both as plain ASCII text, and markup language marked up in troff , a widely available system on Unix systems. Much of Reid s effort was devoted to the workflow aspects of publication. There were about 300 contributors and 13000 subscribers to its regular updates, and over 400 recipes collected. The recipes were shown copyrighted by the USENET Community Trust with the notice blockquote Permission to copy without fee all or part of this material is granted provided that the copies are not made or distributed for direct commercial advantage, the USENET copyright notice and the title of the newsgroup and its date appear, and notice is given that copying is by permission of the USENET Community Trust or the original contributor. blockquote The recipes continue to circulate widely today on the Web.

  1. Usenet quoting

    When Usenet and e mail users respond to a message, they often want to include some context for the discussion. This is often accomplished by quoting a portion of the original message. Examples Usenet standard quoting refers to the practice of preceding the original message with the or right angle bracket character at the beginning of each line, and then inserting one s responses inline, using no special designator for the author s messages. pre hello, how are you? I am fine pre When a second response is made to the second message, the second message is again quoting with , perhaps causing parts of the original message to now be designated with . Such nested quotations can technically be continued indefinitely, but quickly become cumbersome. pre hello, how are you? I am fine Good, I am also fine. pre Enhanced quoting such as facilitating by the Emacs supercite module , includes more context by using the initials or a short form of the name. The program has to be careful not to quote already quoted material pre first hello, how are you? I am fine. pre pre first hello, how are you? second I am fine.

  1. Usenet Death Penalty

    On Usenet , the Usenet Death Penalty or UDP is a final penalty that may be issued against Internet service provider s or single users who produce too much Spamming spam or fail to adhere to Usenet standards. Messages that fall under the jurisdiction of a Usenet Death Penalty will be cancelled. There are three types of Usenet Death Penalty Active with an active UDP, messages that fall under the UDP will be automatically cancelled by third parties or their agents, such as by using cancelbot s. Passive with a passive UDP, messages that fall under the UDP will simply be ignored and will not spread. Partial a partial UDP applies only to a certain subset of newsgroup s, not the entire Usenet newsgroup hierarchy. To be effective, the UDP must be supported by a large number of servers, or the majority of the major transit servers. Otherwise, the articles will propagate throughout the smaller, slower peerings. UDPs are not casual acts. They are announced beforehand, only after the owner of the offending server has been contacted and given several chances to correct the perceived problem. Since the effects on the users of a server under a UDP can be significant, if the users want to post, the impact of a UDP can induce the operators of an offending server to address problems quickly. UDP s have been issued against America Online , BBN Planet , CompuServe , Erols.com , Netcom , and TIAC . ref ... page 8 author Denise Pappalardo, Todd Wallack ref As the volume of spam from UUET decreased, the organizers ... usenet scuffle could be settled 105162 title Home Usenet scuffle could be settled work ZDNet date 14 ...
