You can get a person kicked off of Usenet for one of the following
reasons:
-Spamming a newsgroup
-Posting personal information such as social security numbers or
credit card numbers
-Providing links to illegal pornography (heads up, Arny!)
-Making posts filled with hateful or violent content, such as racist
or anti-Semetic comments
Every racist thread, every anti-Semetic post...just report him. �If
one person does it, it will probably get ignored. �If everyone does,
who knows. I was once threatened by Usenet for dropping an f-bomb.
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!
� � There aren't, the only restrictions are those imposed by the
individual nntp service and you still have to get them to enforce their
TOS. The only entity that could have contacted him with what �he uses
now would be AOL or Google. Google doesn't contact you, they either
ignore the problem or they terminate the login. AOL rarely did anything
when they did offer Usenet access, now when you access groups through
someone else they see it as that services problem not theirs.
Google takes abuse of its services very seriously. We're committed to
dealing with such abuse according to the laws in your country of
residence. When you submit a report, we'll investigate it and take the
appropriate action. We'll get back to you only if we require
additional details or have more information to share.
