AWTeen Newsgroup Charter

This charter is modified from the original AW Community newsgroup charter.

The need for a moderated group is best explained by taking a casual look at  the many off-topic postings in other, non-moderated group. Oftentimes, disputes arise of personal nature or insults are thrown about with no care or regard for the rights or feelings of others. This flaming is not the purpose or intent of this particular newsgroup. We would like to avoid such problems from the start.  news.andras.net/AW.AWTeen has been set up as a media for dissemination of information relative to the AWTeen community and the AW software in general as it pertains to activities in AWTeen.  Events of interest to this community and the sharing of knowledge and community discussion will be posted here. We invite you all to take an active share in this newsgroup and hope it will be a positive addition to your AW experience. Please join in and have fun.

The news.andras.net/AW.AWTeen newsgroup is a moderated newsgroup for the free exchange of information and opinions on AWTeen culture, history, economics, science, and other topics related to AWTeen. Posts appropriate for these groups include, but are not restricted to, any aspect of AWTeen, including the Core and committee system, events, job openings, and building.  Please, no HTML posting.

There are two newsgroups for AWTeen located on news.andras.net:  AW.AWTeen and AW.AWTeenCore.  The AW.AWTeenCore is a private group that is restricted to Core members.  The AW.AWTeen group contains copies of all posts from the AW.AWTeenCore group that don't involve actions taken involving a specific person.  Members of the public are encouraged to express their opinions on these posts, or to start their own threads.  Core members read the newsgroup and take into consideration all ideas given.

The news.andras.net/AW.AWTeen newsgroup is for anyone who is interested in AWTeen and who can follow Usenet newsgroup netiquette, basic rules of polite human interaction, and any further restrictions imposed by this charter.  There is no test or requirement as to how much of an AW or AWTeen citizen a person is who wants to make a submission and participate - citizens of all ages and AW experience may post.  Commercial advertisements unrelated to AW or AWTeen shall be rejected; all personal ads shall be rejected. Submissions  containing  ethnic slurs, or submissions intended to hurt any given race, religion,  gender, or sexual orientation, shall be rejected. Personal attacks on individual posters will also be rejected. Should Andras reject a submission, he will delete the complete with no notice to the group or the submitter in a timely manner (usually within 48 hours).

We appreciate your cooperation.  Enjoy your stay here in AWTeen.
