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, severe bugs and viruses, meetings, and events. Also, brief news reports of general interest to the Amiga community. 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. Articles from magazines or newspapers are copyrighted and are not acceptable. Questionable sources are verified and confirmed before posting. No discussion of announcements is permitted in this group, as this group is intended to be short and easy to read. Followups for discussion are redirected 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. There is a backup moderator to resolve disputes between the moderator and submitters, and to run the group at times when the primary moderator is unavailable. -- Please see monthly postings for the disclaimer, the introduction, the charter, and submission instructions.
