soc.genealogy.surnames.britain	Surnames queries - Great Britain. (Moderated)

The charter, culled from the vote result announcement:

    Moderated, and gatewayed to a mailing list.

Soc.genealogy.surnames.britain will receive genealogical queries
about people whose residence or migration has included locations
within Great Britain, which includes England, Scotland, Wales,
the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands and other associated Islands.
Messages about Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland will be
posted to a different newsgroup.  Posters are strongly encouraged not
to post surnames queries to soc.genealogy.uk+ireland or a future successor
group such as soc.genealogy.britain but to post the British queries
to soc.genealogy.surnames.britain instead.

Searching through the many queries, both on-line and in the archives,
is much easier when subject lines are formatted uniformly.  All the
regional soc.genealogy.surnames groups will continue to use the format
developed for subject lines of posts to soc.genealogy.surnames, which
requires a subject line with three fields separated by semi-colons:
NAME (in caps); Place(s); Date(s)

In order to assure that this format, or any other format which may be
later introduced by the moderators, is used for each post, the groups
will be moderated.  The automoderation software, already successfully
implemented for soc.genealogy.surnames, will moderate all the surnames
groups.  It will be modified to receive all queries and to post them
only to relevant groups by cross-posting to the groups which are
mentioned in the "places" part of the subject line.  Posters will be
informed of any changes made by the automoderator to the Newsgroups
line of their post.

Messages which do not arrive with the subject line in the prescribed
format will be returned to the poster for modification of the subject
line.  An explanation of what information is missing and helpful
suggestions for revising the subject line will be included with a
copy of the original post, and the email address for the human
moderator or moderators will be given.

The automoderator will be concerned only with having well-formatted
subject lines, with the following exceptions:

1: "Spam" and grossly off-topic messages, even if formatted with a
nominally acceptable Subject line, may be rejected.

2: Duplicate messages should not be posted more than once in any 14 day
period.  The moderator may amend the automoderator to reject messages
posted more frequently.  This will be done by comparing incoming posts
with recent messages in the archives of soc.genealogy.surnames.global,
as that group will contain a copy of every message posted in any of
the s.g.surnames subgroups.

3: Messages may be rejected if they contain an excess of non-plaintext
material, including binaries, GEDCOM formatted text and HTML code.
An explanation of the rejection will be sent to the poster.

4: Messages with unreplyable return addresses may also be rejected,
though a reasonable effort may be made by moderators to determine a
correct address so that the poster can be made aware of the problem.

Lists of the standard codes used for places and other information
about formulating good queries is available in FAQs and by email or
on the web and a human moderator will be available to give help.

Volunteers for all groups are:

Tim Pierce <twpierce@midway.uchicago.edu>, moderator-in-chief
Bill Mills <bill@leland.stanford.edu>, moderator
Margaret Olson <olson@shout.net>, moderator

and any co-moderators or successor moderators that all current
moderators agree to.

This group will be moderated by custom automoderation software
developed and maintained by Tim Pierce.  The moderation email
address of soc-genealogy-surnames@rootsweb.com will receive posts
for all the soc.genealogy.surnames groups and will make a decision,
based on the subject line, about where to cross-post the message.
