Usenet Newsgroups

1. INTERSTAR provides an uncensored newsfeed. As such, INTERSTAR does not control the content of the newsgroups available to its customers. INTERSTAR is not responsible for the content of any USENET posting, whether or not the posting was made by an INTERSTAR customer.
   
2. Postings to USENET newsgroups must comply with the written charters or FAQ's for those newsgroups. Advertisements should only be posted in those newsgroups whose charters/FAQ's explicitly permit them. The poster is responsible for determining the etiquette of a given newsgroup, prior to posting to it.
   
3. Customers are prohibited from posting the same or similar message to large numbers of newsgroups (excessive cross-posting or multiple-posting, also known as "USENET spam").
   
4. Customers are prohibited from posting chain letters of any type.
   
5. Customers are prohibited from posting binary files to newsgroups not specifically named for that purpose.
   
6. Customers are prohibited from canceling or superseding posts other than their own, with the exception of official newsgroup moderators performing their duties.
   
7. Customers are prohibited from forging header information. This includes attempting to circumvent the approval process for posting to a moderated newsgroup.
   
8. A customer may not solicit mail for any other address other than that of the customer's INTERSTAR account or service, with the intent to harass or collect replies after INTERSTAR service has been terminated.
