| | Newsgroup - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Newsgroups generally come in either of two types, binary or text. | | | While Newsgroups were not created with the intention of distributing binary files, they have proven to be quite effective for this. | | | There are two main issues that pose problems for transmitting binary files over Newsgroups. |

| | The sbay.* Newsgroup Hierarchy Policies |
| | See the newsgroups news.admin.net-abuse.announce and news.admin.net-abuse.misc for more information about the "Breidbart Index" (BI) used to compute the threshold for violating this criteria. | | | Since the worst offending articles are cross-posted to an excessive number of *.forsale newsgroups, they are simple for a program to recognize so we have developed the sbay.* CancelCritter. | | | Binaries result in an sbay.* UDP on a first offense so, if you cancel one, please e-mail the headers to the sbay.* newsgroups coordinators at critter@sbay.org so the CancelCritter can be configured to auto-cancel the poster. |

| | Slyck's Guide to The Newsgroups - Intro |
| | However, the newsgroups were not designed to transfer binary files - they can only transfer text files. | | | Luckily, there have been great improvements in the software used to download the messages from the news server to your computer that makes getting files from the newsgroups today 1000 times easier than it was when this system first appeared. | | | A short time passed and the users of certain newsgroups thought that this system would be ideal to share files with each other. |

| | Moderated Newsgroups FAQ |
| | You might want to look carefully at the Date: headers in recent messages in the moderated newsgroup, to see if other posts are being approved, and to get a sense of the usual turnaround time. | | | Changes to the moderation panel and to moderation criteria, scheme, procedure, or process are often carried out by the moderator(s) with the informal or tacit approval of the readership. | | | Your message may have failed to reach the moderator, or been lost in a system or disk crash, or been misplaced by the moderator, or been approved and then failed to propagate correctly via net news back to your site. |
