Q:
Why are there articles
missing in the binaries newsgroups?
A:
This can
happen for several reasons. The most likely is that
some of the articles (or parts of articles) were
filtered out as spam before they reached our
servers. We do not filter any incoming articles on
our binaries servers, everything we receive from our
upstream is posted. Many news servers limit the
maximum article size and if any articles are in
excess of that size the server will cancel it
automatically and it will not propagate out. Also,
all news servers have the right to filter out
anything that passes through their server. Keep in
mind that usenet was designed to carry only plain
text, not large binary files. Processing binary
articles places twice as much strain on the server
as plain text articles do. For these reasons no
guarantee regarding completeness of binary articles
is expressed or implied by
usenet-uncensored.com.

Q:
Some articles that I post from
usenet-uncensored.com
do not seem to propagate to other news servers, why?
A:
Another news server may be
canceling them . We can take no further
responsibility for articles not propagating once
they have been sent to our upstream servers. Another
reason could be if you have a record of abuse on our
servers your posting access may have been disabled.
Once your posting access has been disabled due to
posting abuse it will never be restored, so don't
even ask. Nor will we issue refunds for this reason.

Q: My
account suddenly stopped working
A:
There can be 2 reasons
for this. Your account expired. The other reason is
that you've probably used our service to send
commercial or mass postings. We then disable your
account silently in most cases.

Q:
I'm getting an AUTHENTICATION FAILED message
A:
First, check
that you entered the correct username and password.
If you forgot your username and/or password, email
webmaster@usenet-uncensored.com
about your problem and we shall resend your username
and password to your registered email.
Unfortunately, we cannot send this info to a
different email because there is no way for us to
authenticate your request.
If you are sure about your username and password,
then the error may be because your account exceeded
the allowed number of simultaneous logins. Also,
some Usenet browsers do not disconnect cleanly, in
which case you may have to wait a few minutes before
your account is cleared.
If you still
need help, contact
webmaster@usenet-uncensored.com.

Q:
Whats your
spam policy
A:
All incidents must be
reported to
webmaster@usenet-uncensored.com
. All reports will be taken in account seriously. In
the past our service was known for spamming
activities. This has changed now due to the
read-pay-write system we have now. Spam is simply
not allowed. Crossposts are, but not too many
groups. Please take in mind netiquette when posting.
Back to Top
Q:
How about
crossposts
A:
They are
allowed but not any more than about 6 or 7 groups at
once. It's filtered outside our server anyway so it
isn't of use also. Please take notice of netiquette.
Any accounts ignoring normal netiquette will be
disabled.
