comp.os.ms-windows.win95.moderated is a moderated newsgroup which passed its
vote for creation by 394:29 as reported in news.announce.newgroups on
12 Dec 1996.

Group submission address:  win95-submission@kenosis.com
Moderator contact address: win95-cabal@kenosis.com
                        (Bruce Baugh, Bob Archambault, Iain Bowie,
                         Niklas Matthies, Ted Timmons, Darren Tuetken)

For your newsgroups file:
comp.os.ms-windows.win95.moderated	General Windows95 topics. (Moderated)

The charter, culled from the vote result announcement:

Comp.os.ms-windows.win95.moderated will use a combination of robo-
moderation and a team of human moderators.

Robo-moderation will be performed by Igor Chudov's S.T.U.M.P. program
or similar code modified to suit this newsgroup's circumstances.

A post can be auto-approved, auto-rejected, or forwarded to a human
moderator for attention.

Submitted posts go through this sequence of actions:

-       The robo-moderation script checks for auto-rejection
        criteria. If it finds one or more, it returns the post
        to the sender with an appropriate explanation.

-       The robo-moderation script checks for thread marking
        or other indicators that mandate human review. If it
        finds one or more, it forwards the post to a human
        moderator for review and action.

-       The robo-moderation script checks the auto-approval
        status of the poster. If it finds the poster has
        auto-approval, it authorizes the post and distributes
        it to Usenet.

-       All other posts are sent to human moderators for review
        and rejection or authorization.

1.  Auto-approval

Posters who submit five consecutive approved posts will be put onto the
auto-approval list. Their future submissions will be automatically
approved, unless they violate the guidelines given below. Posters who
lose auto-approval status can regain it through a new series of
approved posts.

Moderators go through the same approval process as other posters, and
can lose and regain auto-approval status. Moderators will not review
their own messages for compliance with the charter; their posts will be
sent to other moderators.

2.  Auto-rejection

Posts can be automatically rejected for the following reasons. They will
be returned to their senders with an explanation of the reason for the
rejection.

-   Crossposting to any non-Win95 newsgroup, except for
    news.announce.newgroups and administrative newsgroups like
    comp.answers and news.answers.

-   Using abusive, profane, obscene, or derogatory language.
    This includes insulting nicknames for products, like
    Windoze, Macintrash, and Nutscrape.

-   Including more than 75% quoted material in a post of more
    than 20 lines.

3.  Human moderation

Human moderators will examine the posts neither auto-approved nor auto-
rejected. They can manually reject posts for the following reasons.
Rejected posts will be returned to their senders with an explanation of
the reason for the rejection and, where appropriate, a copy of the
newsgroup FAQ.

-   Posting on non-Win95 subjects.

-   Personal attacks on other individuals.

-   Posting nothing more than the equivalent of "me, too!" and the like,
    in the moderator's judgment.

-   Posting only questions already answered in the FAQ.

-   Posting lengthy or repeated advertisements.

-   Posting UUencoded, MIME-encoded, or any other form of
    binary message other than Pretty Good Privacy (PGP)
    signatures.

-   Posting with a signature file of more than six lines.

-   Posting nothing but an URL without explanation or context.

-   Posting with formatting that greatly impairs readability
    (overly wide or narrow margins, overly eccentric capitalization,
    etc.).

Several kinds of posts are acceptable within specific limits.

The FAQ will contain a list of recommended keywords for use in subject
lines. Moderators can add an appropriate keyword at their discretion,
but will not edit the body or signature file of a message in any way.

Companies are welcome to post occasional notices of new products and
services. All commercial notices must be 20 lines or less, including
signature file. We recommend no more than one post per product per
month.

Binaries should be posted to an appropriate binaries newsgroup. A brief
informative notice should then be sent to this newsgroup.

Posts with URLs and information about Web sites are welcome, but must
be accompanied by some explanation of what the site offers.

Posts which expand upon the FAQ, particularly ones that add information
not currently included in the FAQ or which show the limitations of an
existing answer, are welcome.

Posts in languages other than English will be examined for approval if
any of the moderators can read the language in question. There is no
guarantee of approval for a post in any language other than English.

There will be an administrative mailing list, on which moderators and
other interested people can discuss the enforcement and modification of
the guidelines given here. Details of how to join this list will appear
in the FAQ.

4. Appeals and Revisions

A fraction of the current moderators must agree to take various kinds of
action. Where this fraction is anything but an integer number of
moderators, the required number is rounded up to the next integer.

In the event that a poster on the auto-approval list submits a post that
violates the charter, the moderators may, upon two-thirds agreement,
remove the poster's auto-approval status. It can be regained through a
new series of posts that comply with the charter, just as it was earned
earlier. The moderators will post an explanation to the newsgroup,
identifying the problem so that others can avoid repeating it.

A thread may be marked for human attention upon agreement of two-thirds
of the moderators. This overrides normal auto-approval, and brings all
posts in the thread to moderator attention so that potential problems
can be dealt with before measures as drastic as removal of auto-approval
status are called for. Notice of thread marking may be posted to the
newsgroup, but is not required.

A poster who feels that a rejected post was within the charter can
appeal to the administrative list. If two-thirds of the moderators agree
that the post should be approved, it will be posted as usual, and the
poster's auto-approval status will be restored.

5. Moderator Administration

New moderators can be added as deemed appropriate upon the approval of
two-thirds of the existing moderators. Posters on the auto-approval list
are welcome to volunteer at any time; a special call for volunteers can
be posted when an existing moderator steps down.

Suggestions of changes in the application of the charter, such as the
addition or removal of terms from the auto-rejection list, complaints
or compliments about moderator judgments, and other matters related to
the running of the newsgroup are welcome on the administrative list,
but not on the newsgroup. No post relating to such discussions will be
approved for the newsgroup. Any decision made about action to take
(or not to take) is final; posters who persist in pressing the issue
can be subject to auto-rejection.

Keywords and posters' names can be added to or removed from the auto-
rejection list upon the agreement of two-thirds of the moderators. The
auto-rejection list will always be publicly available on an appropriate
Web page and via e-mail, pointed to in the FAQ. No poster should be
subject to auto-rejection until submitting at least five consecutive
rejected posts, though this threshold may be lowered for spamming or
efforts to move administrative list discussions onto the newsgroup.

Moderators who engage in sustained violation of the charter in their own
posts or their approval or rejection of others' posts can be removed upon
the agreement of four-fifths of the other moderators.

Changes in administrative practice will be announced to the newsgroup,
and documented on an appropriate Web page and made available via e-mail,
pointed to in the FAQ.
