REPLACEMENT MODERATOR FOUND
news.announce.newusers

The Big-8 Management Board is pleased to announce that it has taken on
the moderation duties for news.announce.newusers, returning the group
to service after a considerable hiatus.

The previous moderator, Kathy Morgan, lost access to the group's
moderation address when the server at albasani.net suffered a failure
in early 2020, and the group has been dormant since then. In email
communication with the Board, Kathy later expressed a wish to retire
from moderation duties.

The Board has therefore volunteered to moderate news.announce.newusers,
along with its companion group news.newusers.questions. While the
Board's core responsibility is to maintain the roster of groups in the
Big 8 hierarchies, it is also in keeping with the ethos of the Board to
promote and support the Big 8 and Usenet in general. As such, the Board
considers it worthwhile to ensure that these newsgroups and their FAQs
remain available for the benefit of newcomers to Usenet.

CHARTER AND MODERATION POLICY OF NEWS.ANNOUNCE.NEWUSERS:

There is no charter on file for news.announce.newusers at

The newsgroups line for the group is:

 news.announce.newusers  Explanatory postings for new users. (Moderated)

The group was created in the mid-1980s as part of the "Great Renaming".
It functions as a "read-only" group, carrying regular informational
announcements for newcomers to Usenet.

Articles sent to the group *will not be approved*. Questions about
Usenet should be posted to news.newusers.questions instead, and any
comments or suggestions regarding the regular informational postings
should be emailed to the moderation team's contact address above.
