Berigan).  Goals of Moderation (charter):  In anticipation of the school year, there is likely going to be a large number of inappropriate posts to the newsgroup comp.binaries.apple2 by new users of USENET.  Only by moderation of the newsgroup can these posts be redirected to comp.sys.apple2 without it ever appearing in c.b.a2.  The moderator can then advise the poster directly on the appropriate newsgroup to post discussion.  Since .apple2 describes both 8-bit and 16-bit platforms, a description of each file is needed for readers to decide whether or not they want the program, or even if it will run on their machine.  A moderator can insure that every binary contains a description outside of the archive, so that the reader need not download and decode a file just to find out it won't run on their machine.  Also important are descriptive subjects.  Much time can be saved on the reader's part if subjects contained a unique keyword of what a program requires to run, the name of the software, and a short but concise summary description.  Also, (n of m) headers, used to denote order of parts, not only defeat the ability of newsreaders like nn to group like subjects together as a thread, but have no real function when used with BinSCII-encoded binaries.  (BinSCIIed files can be re-integrated in any order, as they also encode the position in the resultant file of each part.)  An example subject would be:  Subject: GS: BasicPaint II -- a 4x320x200x256 paint program in AppleSoft  Commercial software has occasionally leaked through comp.binaries.apple2, often due to people thinking that if its beta release was shareware, the full version is also shareware.  A moderator can prevent commercial software from being distributed through c.b.a2.  HOWEVER, utilities for commercial software that can be distributed freely WILL be sent out, with an appropriate keyword in the subject.  An example would be the GNO utilities that have been coming through lately.  Although viruses are not common for the Apple II, there are some out there.  A moderator could run virus-checking software on files uploaded to c.b.a2 to reduce the risk of infective programs.  Viruses have not been a problem of the past, and likely will not be a problem in the future, but some checking would be useful if ever any come through.  With moderation, the moderator could also check uploaded archives for corruption.  While some corruption of archives occur in transit, arriving at some locations corrupted and others in working order, moderation can insure that the source posting was free of errors, and helps to track down what caused the corruption.  Since there is also a BITNET mailing list for Apple II binaries, known as APPLE2-L, a moderator could have postings forwarded to that list. That way the two would be more alike, and the APPLE2-L readers won't miss out on stuff posted to c.b.a2.  Neither the moderator nor his assistants should be held responsible in any way if a virus or commercial program slips through.  The moderator and assistants will expend effort to try to ensure this doesn't happen, but no guarantees are expressed nor implied that that these efforts will be 100% effective.  The moderator and assistants reserve the right to cancel any posting in comp.binaries.apple2 that is deemed inappropriate. --    ///   ____   \\\       |"Sorry, did I say something wrong?

Moderator: [email protected] (Jawaid Bazyar)   Backups: [email protected] (Greg "Life..." Berigan)            . . .             MORE VOLUNTEERS FOR BACKUP MODERATORS ARE NEEDED!  Goals of Moderation (charter):     o    Prevent corrupted binaries from being posted.  Corrupted         articles would only occur in transit.  The moderator would have         an uncorrupted copy, so users on sites where articles were         corrupted in transit could request a good copy directly from the         moderator within 7 days of posting.    o    Prevent commercial software from being posted.    o    Software scanned for known viruses, to keep an unknowing user         from accidentally spreading it, and to inform him so he can         take action.  This will not protect against new viruses posted         maliciously, but some protection is better than none.    o    Ensure that binaries posted will have a reasonable description         as far as machine type, OS needed, other software needed,         peripherals, etc.  This would include both descriptive subjects         and descriptions in the message body.    o    Make subjects friendlier to subject-grouping newsreaders by         moving "(part n of m)" information into the message body; The         subject would contain "(m parts)" instead.  This does not hamper         the decoding of archives, as BinSCII files can be decoded in any         order.  This helps the function of newsreaders like "nn" and         hampers no others.    o    Ensure that all parts of a binary are posted together, to         prevent early parts from expiring before later parts arrive.    o    Maintenance of a canonical archive of comp.binaries.apple2 posts         in standard usenet format, probably on wuarchive.wustl.edu and         UUNET.    o    Provide sure hooks into APPLE2-L and ensure that submissions         from that source follow these guidelines (hi Grant!)    o    Prevent naive users from incorrectly posting discussion         material to comp.binaries; kindly forwards their post to         comp.sys.apple2, without causing a pointless flame war.  This         happens far too often to be tolerable.    o    Prevent the repeat posting of software that appeared within 6         months.  This does not apply to updated versions of the         software.  Neither the moderator nor his assistants should be held responsible in any way if a virus or commercial program slips through.  The moderator and assistants will expend effort to try to ensure this doesn't happen, but no guarantees are expressed nor implied that that these efforts will be 100% effective.

A  description of the submission is also required, which must include  hardware and software requirements of the submission.  If a description  is absent, and one is not present inside the archive, the submitter will  be asked to provide one.  If an article is rejected or diverted to  another group, the poster will be informed accordingly.  An archive will  not be  approved and posted  until all of its parts have arrived.  Ideally, submissions should be made in the same format as the approved  postings, but this is not required, only preferred.   Repeat submissions of programs will not be posted unless it is a repeat  of a 6-month-or-older posting.  It is recommended that users consult a  comp.binaries.apple2 archive site to obtain these programs.  Newer  versions of postings are not classified as a repeat submission.   Postings which have forged approval, contain commercial software, or  contain code designed to cause harm to an unsuspecting user or is  otherwise a virus, are explicitly improper, and will be cancelled.  Submissions which are somehow not categorized in the above as proper or  improper will be decided on a case-by-case basis in open discussion in  comp.sys.apple2.  Disagreements on the quality or state of being proper  of a posting should be discussed in comp.sys.apple2.   Inappropriate submissions which are already covered by existing  newsgroups' charters will be forwarded to said group, with a message to  the submitter informing such, such as articles which do not contain a  binary posting, or source code which would be forwarded to  comp.sources.apple2.   The approved posts will have subjects containing keywords identifying  CPU requirements, the name of the archive's contents, a count of the  number of postings which make up the complete archive, and a short  summary of the program, which includes a listing of additional hardware  and software requirements.  Postings in comp.binaries.apple2 will be  encoded as BinSCIIed ShrinkIT files, until such (unforseen at this  writing) time that they are usurped in preference, using the newest  commonly-available bug-free versions.  Postings will not exceed 1000  lines per post -- typically 3 BinSCII parts per post -- in order to  prevent truncation through old net links.  Articles will be given  unique, sequential article-IDs to help detect forgeries, and will use  the References: header for the benefit of threaded newsreaders (like  trn).  In case of extended moderator absence, submissions not checked  for 5 days after receipt will be automatically approved in their  submission form, and clearly marked that they had not been checked.  Postings will be forwarded to the APPLE2-L mailing list as approved, as  well as archived on an anonymously accessible FTP site.  Old postings  will also be available on request from the moderator(s).

This proposal now cannot be raised again for 6 months.  Below is a copy of the proposal.  If you wish to skip it, use your newsreader search function (typically the "/" key followed by the search string) to search for the text "RESULTS:".     Moderator: [email protected] (Jawaid Bazyar) Co-Moderator: [email protected] (Greg "Life..." Berigan)       Backup: [email protected] (John Palaima)       Backup: [email protected] (Anthony J. Stuckey)  CHARTER:  Submissions are to be virus-free Freeware, Shareware or otherwise freely-distributable programs which run on any one or more Apple II, Apple III, or their compatibles when running in their Apple II compatible mode, their data files excluding those which are already covered by existing newsgroups' charters, and their documentation.  A description of the submission is also required, which must include hardware and software requirements of the submission.  If a description is absent, and one is not present inside the archive, the submitter will be asked to provide one.  If an article is rejected or diverted to another group, the poster will be informed accordingly.  An archive will not be  approved and posted  until all of its parts have arrived. Ideally, submissions should be made in the same format as the approved postings, but this is not required, only preferred.  Repeat submissions of programs will not be posted unless it is a repeat of a 6-month-or-older posting.  It is recommended that users consult a comp.binaries.apple2 archive site to obtain these programs.  Newer versions of postings are not classified as a repeat submission.  Postings which have forged approval, contain commercial software, or contain code designed to cause harm to an unsuspecting user or is otherwise a virus, are explicitly improper, and will be cancelled. Submissions which are somehow not categorized in the above as proper or improper will be decided on a case-by-case basis in open discussion in comp.sys.apple2.  Disagreements on the quality or state of being proper of a posting should be voiced in comp.sys.apple2.  Inappropriate submissions which are already covered by existing newsgroups' charters will be forwarded to said group, with a message to the submitter informing such, such as articles which do not contain a binary posting, or source code which would be forwarded to comp.sources.apple2.  The approved posts will have subjects containing keywords identifying CPU requirements, the name of the archive's contents, a count of the number of postings which make up the complete archive, and a short summary of the program, which includes a listing of additional hardware and software requirements.  Postings in comp.binaries.apple2 will be encoded as BinSCIIed ShrinkIT files, until such (unforseen at this writing) time that they are usurped in preference, using the newest commonly-available bug-free versions.  Postings will not exceed 1000 lines per post -- typically 3 BinSCII parts per post -- in order to prevent truncation through old net links.  Articles will be given unique, sequential article-IDs to help detect forgeries, and will use the References: header for the benefit of threaded newsreaders (like trn).  In case of extended moderator absence, submissions not checked for 5 days after receipt will be automatically approved in their submission form, and clearly marked that they had not been checked. Postings will be forwarded to the APPLE2-L mailing list as approved, as well as archived on an anonymously accessible FTP site.  Old postings will also be available on request from the moderator(s).  LEGAL DISCLAIMER:  Neither the moderator nor his assistants should be held responsible in any way if a virus or commercial program slips through.  The moderator and assistants will expend effort to try to ensure this doesn't happen, but no guarantees are expressed nor implied that that these efforts will be 100% effective.   RESULTS:  All votes have been ordered by their date rather than alphabetically. Those interested in testing for duplicates by alphabetising them are invited to save this post to their account, edit appropriately, and do so.  However, duplicates won't affect the results -- there weren't even 100 YES votes total, so even if all no votes were eliminated, the proposal would still fail by 1 vote.
