http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/asciiart/faq.txt and from the mail
server. Mail rec...@gweep.ca with subject
'get file faq.txt'.

==========
Moderation
==========

rec.arts.ascii was created as a moderated group meaning that all posts
are reviewed before being sent to the group. That work is done by a
robomoderator which checks that the posts have the correct format
before approving them. It can also forward a specific posters posts
to a human moderation for approval if necessary but it is hoped that
the group will be self policing and that this will not be necessary.

The criteria checked for are:

Subject must be tagged either

[PIC] for pictures
[REQ] for requests for others to draw pictures (people responding to
       such requests are asked to change the tag to [PIC])
[DIS] for general ascii art related discussion.

The moderators will also use
[ADMIN] for posting any other important information regarding the
         functioning of the group.

The robomod will also check that the posts are in plain text only and
that the line length is set to less than 80 characters unless you
havethe phrase 'long lines' in the body of the post when the limit is
raised to 160 characters. Cross-posting will be allowed provided that
it is to no more than three groups and that the followup-to header is
set to only one group. Cross-posting to other moderated groups is not
allowed except under extreme circumstances. If you think you have a
very good case then contact the moderators.
