You can get a person kicked off of Usenet for one of the following

or anti-Semetic comments
Every racist thread, every anti-Semetic post...just report him. �If

I sincerely doubt this. �Who from "Usenet" has ever sent you a message? �
It seems more likely that your news service provider contacted you. �
AFAIK, there are no actual Usenet restrictions of this type. �I could be
wrong, of course!

This was a long time ago. I think everyone is too jaded now to
bother.

It was sent from my ISP, but it did say that it was generated from a
complaint from Usenet.

That means you ****ed off someone in a news group or more likely an
administrator from the ISP stumbled across a post he didn't like.
