Firstly John, I,m not spamming anything, in most cases I,m answering a
question on a Public news group, which like you is my right, and I,m
offering an alternative solution to a problem of interjection by people who
are not interested in the subject being discussed.
I don't own the site in question, and am merely a moderator in the Audio
section, which I started, as I felt that people deserved a forum where they
could discuss the subject free of interjection.. Which it has done.
The forum is long established, and as for making money, with respect, your
dreaming. But you are entitled to your opinion.
I will forward your questions on to the administration, for there comments
and will post, there reply's on here. You will need to trust me, as to the
fact that I will post there answers unedited . But really I have nothing to
gain, my changing anything, and the truth will always come back and bite you
on the arse..
I liked the e-mail address, and should you need to correspond with me I
suggest you ether , post the full AFP e-mail address, or look me up on the
AFP data base, My e-mail address is listed with them.
and remember for good sound advice post your questions on here,

Why not discuss it on here,, in our new Audio section.
http://www.wga.plt-hosting.com/register.php?do=signup
Add a few pictures of what your talking about, discuss everything ,
quality , price, etc. and you will get expert opinions from people that
own the good Hi-end stuff
Beacause I like usenet. Even if it has Phil Allison on it.
Fraser
That's the very reason I set up the forum, It's PA free.

John, I did post your questions in the moderators room for discussion,
with the following results,,
Nexis , moderator,,
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After reading that John's post the phrase "evil thinkers are evil doers"
comes to mind.
aa23 moderator,
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, "John" doesn't want to register and give an e-mail addy. is that it? If
it is, and you want to be nice about it, advise him to get some hotmail or
gmail addy, and use that.
If he's not interested in doing that, then just thank him for his time, and
wish him luck somewhere else
Kezza , admin,,
------------------------------------------------------------------
Just goes to show there are evil minds out there as this is something I've
never considered doing and never would do. I can't speak for all forums but
I'm also Admin on a couple of other Forums and I know they would never stoop
that low either.
I'm not sure what you mean by open forum, do you mean open as in viewing
only OR open as to viewing and posting without registration?? I would never
have an open forum as far as posting goes as you would end up with so much
spamming from unknown people that it would be a joke, not to mention a total
risk to the future of the forum. My only intention is to give people what
they are looking for and all I ask for in return is that they support the
Forum by posting, having fun and respecting other members. I'm sure I can
speak for all Admin and Mods here.
If I go to a site and I'm unsure about it for whatever reason it's simple I
use a hotmail addy and I've never given a specific location and as far as I
remember have never said if I'm male or female. If you are so worried about
someone selling your email addy use a yahoo, gmail or hotmail one for the
forums thats what most people do or simply don't register, it is an
individual choice.
_____________________________________________________
So there you have it John,, as for suggestion of various legal
requirements,, Could I suggest that you consider the fact that Forums are
not a compulsory requirement of internet use.
And I might say, that your more then welcome to regester at,

Yes, agreed. However, we did agree on a charter when setting this
saloon newsgroup up and even though it's unmoderated, there are some
basic rules which we should try and abide, lest it goes the way of some
of the bad newsgroups - eg. aus.dvd....
These rules are spelled out in the FAQ and are managed through friendly
group (user) moderation. Things like the topics to be discussed,
Commercial posts etc.
Now where did they leave all those deputy stars... |

Unfortunately John,, as this newsgroup is unmoderated, your little set of
rules don't mean shit, there unenforceable, and anyone can post what they
like, be it on subject or not.. And the supposed rule writers, which
incidentally anyone can write a set of rules, Have no enforcement,, Sure
you can report the poster to there ISP, but any action is sadly lacking,
Frankly they have no interest, in any form of enforcement.
So at the end of the day, Forums are the answer, to subject regulation,,
and while we can post pictures on a news group, and some ISP's go regulate
that, many don't,, with a forum you can not only post in a safe environment,
but also post pictures, or software downloads.
I see you have not bothered to comment on my last post, with comments
about your little rant, Pity really, I was hoping you might have something
constructive to say, and it would also seem that no one's impressed with
your little e-mail title..

I'm sorry to see you take this attitude with me Bassett as I have been
polite with you.
Did you notice that I agreed? I had already said that the group was
unmoderated and that it is up to the users to self moderate. I'm not
sure if you're agreeing with me here or not. Again, I would really hate
to see it go the way of the other less fortunate news groups. There's
some good people and answers here, I'd hate to see it go. I'm not sure
if you share this opinion...
I hadn't responded to your post because I hadn't had time till now. I
was going to thank you for the admin responses.
My email title? Catching out people who spam drugs and porn isn't a
good thing to do? I'll try every little thing I can to help make the
Internet a better place. I'm sure most people are with me on this one.
No one else has commented except yourself. My name is also real
unlike most posters.
I'm also a lot closer to the email than you may think. Please don't
make an issue with it, I'm not sure why your having a go at me in the
first place after all I'm trying to do is offer constructive criticism
and help make this newsgroup a better place.
