Do our posts get approved before they appear, or are troublemakers just
filtered out somehow?

Just wondering.

And to answer your question, yes, there is software moderation, and real
live mods, so posts take a while to appear.

thanks. I was just curious more then anything else. Long as we have a safe
topical place to post and get replies, I'm good..

You can always post pics to binary group such as alt.binaries.test and
then post the Msg id here to link to them.

An example would be;

Message-ID:

(My 'stang)

....or. of course. you can put them up on one of the many free websites
and post a link to them here too.

True,. but it's much easier to just post with an attachment.. it's not like
this group will have such a huge binary load like say, alt.binaries.dvd or
something like that, with gigs of daily posts

Interesting. I get all my groups through a paid news service (GigaNews)
and view everything like I have for a zillion years with all the other
newsgroups. Never have seen anyone also do their own hosted group that
posts (I'm assuming) simultaneously on Usenet.
Great newsgroup. Love my pond and you seem to have knowledgeable folks
up here.

That's what's known as "gating" - I'm not sure how many mail-lists are gated
to Big-8 Usenet groups, but it's pretty common with private news servers
(like support lists for many software publishers).

That's not what happens here. When you submit a post to your news server,
it gets diverted to an email address (or you can just send email direct to
that address, which I forget...). We check it and approve or reject. When
it's approved, it gets submitted to a special news server that ensures we
have the authority to post, then propagates to the rest of the world.
