These are groups which 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 mod.newslists, net.announce.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. Moderated groups in this category include mod.sources and mod.motss. 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. 5) Groups which are gatewayed into the Usenet from an Arpa 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 "mod" group on Usenet, and the Internet list. 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. 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. 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, is such groups exist. 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 Usenet-only newsgroup moderators. 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. 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. The addresses are given in Internet/domain form. If a site has an Internet address, that is given in the list, otherwise a UUCP address is given. Sites reachable via other direct addresses are given in the correspondence list just below. If you are a UUCP-only site, you can mail to an ARPA (EDU, GOV, etc.)-only site by mailing through the gateways (seismo and ucbvax) using a uucp-style path. Thus, to submit an article to the mod.protocols.appletalk group, for example, mail it to: ...!{seismo,ucbvax}!c.cs.cmu.edu!info-applebus For those of you not currently using the UUCP map data, the following can be used to derive uucp mail paths: ...!{akgua,ihnp4}!abnji ...!{decvax,linus,wjh12}!bbncca ...!{akgua,gatech,ihnp4,ulysses}!cbosgd ...!{seismo,topaz}!columbia!cucca!cu20b ...!{akgua,decvax,philabs}!mcnc!ecsvax ...!{akgua,cbosgd,decvax,hplabs,ihnp4,seismo}!gatech ...!{akgua,ihnp4,ulysses}!hou2e ...!decvax!genrad!panda ...!seismo!harvard!wjh12!panda ...!{cbosgd,ihnp4,seismo}!plus5 ...!{gatech,harvard,ihnp4,seismo}!ut-sally!rice ...!{cbosgd,decvax,gatech,ihnp4,ulysses}!seismo ...!{cbosgd,decvax,gatech,ihnp4,ulysses}!seismo!umcp-cs ...!{gatech,harvard,ihnp4,seismo}!ut-sally ...!ucbvax!ucbopal ...!{allegra,decvax,harvard}!yale Address correspondences: bbncca.arpa == bbncca.uucp cu20b.columbia.edu == cu20b.uucp gatech.uucp == gatech.csnet mimsy.umd.edu == umcp-cs.uucp red.rutgers.edu == rutgers.uucp rice.arpa == rice.uucp sally.utexas.edu == ut-sally.uucp seismo.css.gov == seismo.uucp ucbopal.berkeley.edu == ucbopal.uucp yale.arpa == yale.uucp yale.arpa == yalecs.bitnet Gene Spafford 1 November 1985 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Group Moderator or Coordinator Requests, Comments, etc. ------------------------------------------------------------------ mod.ai Kenneth Laws ailist-request@sri-ai.arpa mod.computers (none currently) mod.computers.apollo Nathaniel Mishkin apollo-request@yale.arpa mod.computers.ibm-pc (various) info-ibmpc-request@usc-isib.arpa mod.computers.laser-printers Richard Furuta laser-lovers-request@washington mod.computers.macintosh John M.
