Moderation policy
It is NOT intended that the moderator should censor postings, the
objective is to keep discussions broadly within the defined topic of
'Christianity from a UK perspective'. In time it is envisaged that
many of the functions described below will be performed automatically.
Posts from new subscribers will be accepted provided that they
broadly comply with the terms of this charter. Posts from known
subscribers will always be accepted for posting, except under the
circumstances specified below:
- Articles cross-posted to more than two other newsgroups and all
binary files will normally be rejected.
- Postings from a person who has seriously or consistently violated
the group's charter may, for a fixed period, be made subject to
prior approval by the moderator.
In such a case, the moderator must immediately send the offender
a notice outlining the reason for this action and its duration.
A person disciplined in this manner has the right to demand that
the moderator posts a copy of this notice to the newsgroup for
comment by other subscribers.
- In the following cases only, the moderator may impose a total ban
of unspecified duration:
- following persistent violations even after the implementation
of (2) above,
- in the event of serious abuse directed against the moderator,
- if a poster forges newsgroup headers or gives a fake id.
In all cases except the last the moderator must send a notice
outlining the reason for this action to the offender, and to the
