GROUP CHARTER for comp.sys.amiga.announce
Name: comp.sys.amiga.announce
Moderated: yes
Purpose: The "news" group of the Amiga computer newsgroups.
Announcements concerning new products and releases
of hardware and software, meetings, and events.
Also, brief news reports of general interest to
the Amiga community, including warnings of severe
bugs or viruses.
General comments:
This is the group that everybody can read quickly to keep up with
developments in the Amiga computing community. The traffic is purposely
kept low so that users can quickly find important information without
wading through an excessive amount of traffic on other issues.
This is not an advertising forum. Product announcements should list
only the features or improvements of a product, with no sales hype,
comments about competing products, or instructions on how to buy. They
may list a telephone number or postal address to contact for further
information. Any product announcements should include an availability
date. Subsequent announcements about any product or event may only
include corrections to earlier errors.
It is preferred that announcements be from official representatives.
Quotes from magazines or newspapers are copyrighted and are not
acceptable. Questionable sources are verified and confirmed before
posting.
No discussion of announcements is permitted, as this group is intended
to be short and easy to read. Followups for discussion are redirected
(by the moderator, if necessary) to the appropriate other groups. For
example, followups to an announcement of a new memory card are directed
to comp.sys.amiga.hardware.
Rejected postings are returned by the moderator with an explanation of
the problem and possible suggestions on how to fix it.
