RATIONALE
At present there is no uk group in which people can post announcements
about stolen items where they can be seen by people who want to read
them. This CFV proposes an announcements group (announce), which could
be split if traffic warrants it, and a discussion group (d). Special
measures are proposed to handle inappropriate postings.
CHARTERS
uk.adverts.stolen.announce
--------------------------
This group is intended to hold relevant announcements about stolen
items. "Relevant" here has a strict definition. An original article
must be either:
The announcement of the presumed theft of something within the
UK and be from somebody with a direct connection with the loss.
or
From one of the moderators.
Followups by the original author are restricted to retractions,
corrections, and statements of recovery. Followups within this group by
others are not permitted. Articles should be temperate and should not
contain threats.
A split may be proposed if the traffic volume for a particular class of
loss becomes too large. For example, there may one day be a proposal
for uk.adverts.stolen.announce.computers.
Moderation
This group will be moderated - possibly with the assistance of an
automaton. The moderator(s) will reject inappropriate articles and
ensure that followups will, by default, be redirected to
uk.adverts.stolen.d. To facilitate discussion, articles will be
cross-posted to uk.adverts.stolen.d.
The moderator(s) will have the right to cancel articles which are
not relevant, whether due to their having slipped past the automaton,
forgery or accident.
No volunteers came forward during the discussion period, so the group
will be moderated by the Proponent. (Adrian Wontroba <aw1@stade.co.uk>).
Advertising
No articles seeking financial return will be permitted. Attempts to
post such may result in complaints being made to the poster, their
postmaster or newsmaster, or their connectivity supplier.
Binaries
Binary articles (uuencoded GIFs etc) are not permitted. However, URLs
for such are encouraged.
Large articles
Articles containing more than 4,000 characters will seldom be accepted.
Archival
The proponent may, in due course, implement an archive and mail server.
uk.adverts.stolen.d
-------------------
This group is intended to hold discussions arising from announcements in
the other uk.adverts.stolen.* groups.
Moderation
This group will be retrospectively moderated, in that the moderator(s)
of the moderated groups within uk.adverts.stolen will have the right to
cancel articles breaching the advertising, binaries and large articles
clauses.
Advertising
No articles seeking financial return will be permitted. Such postings
may result in complaints being made to the poster, their postmaster or
newsmaster, or their connectivity supplier.
Binaries
Binary articles (uuencoded GIFs etc) are not permitted. However, URLs
for such are encouraged.
Large articles
Articles containing more than 4,000 characters will seldom be accepted.
