[Most recent change: 5 December 1984 by spaf]

A number of "mod" groups exists on the net.  These are groups with
moderators who must approve articles before they are published to
the net.  In general, these groups fall into one of four 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,
   net.annouce.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 net.announce and mod.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.  "mod" groups in this category include
   mod.sources, mod.motss, and mod.singles.

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.

To post to a "mod" group, write your article and mail it to the listed
address.  The moderator will then do the actual posting of the
article to the net.  The news software on the net 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 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 "moderators@cbosgd.UUCP" and it will be rebroadcast
to all of the current newsgroup moderators.

Below is a list of the current moderated groups and the moderators of
those groups.  Also given are some possible mail paths  by which you
can reach them.  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.
