I'm looking for a hack. The newsgroup creation on the regular
hierarchies is more-or-less under control, at least there are no
rmgroup wars going on and I would expect flames galore if someone
were to start one.
HOWEVER, some *ssholes are in the business of creating alt groups as
a prank, or as a public statement, or what have you. Unfortunately,
there being no constraint on creating alt groups, I really don't have
any grounds for telling them to f*ck off. Though they should.
The hack I'm looking for is to let inews create newsgroups when the
newgroup comes in but only when it is not for an alt group. Before I
go into inews, has someone else already done this?
