Charter of uk.local.somerset

(Not Moderated)

uk.local.somerset is for the discussion of issues relevant to Somerset in the Southwest of England.

For the purposes of this newsgroup Somerset is defined as anywhere currently in the County of Somerset, North Somerset, or Bath and North East Somerset.

Messages posted to this newsgroup must not be cross-posted to more than a TOTAL of four uk.local.* newsgroups; these may be geographically adjacent or overlapping, or connected by the subject of the post (e.g. "moving house from Taunton to Birmingham").

Note that the advertising of widely-available goods or services is *not* relevant in this context, and that most uk.local.* groups have restrictions on advertising, or prohibit it. Cross-posted adverts, where allowed, must meet the requirements of the charters of *all* groups involved.

Advertising

Advertising is forbidden, with these exceptions:
Suppliers of goods and services relevant to events in Somerset in the UK, may post an invitation to visit their web site or request details. It should be of four lines or fewer and not posted more than once every month. The subject line should begin "ADVERT: ".
Event organisers may also post an invitation to visit their web site or request details. It should be of six lines or fewer and not posted more than twice every month. The subject line should begin "EVENT: ". All other advertising should be posted in uk.local.southwest.adverts.

Binaries & Formatting

Encoded binaries (e.g. pictures, compressed files, etc.) are forbidden. Such material belongs on a web or FTP site to which a pointer may be posted. Cryptographic signatures (e.g. PGP) may be used where authentication is important and should be as short as possible.

Posts must be readable as plaintext. HTML, RTF and similarly formatted messages are prohibited. To see how to make your newsreader comply with this, read <http://www.usenet.org.uk/ukpost.html>.

Warning

Anyone posting contrary to this charter may be reported to their "postmaster" and/or Service Provider.
