Monthly Charter Post

This is a regular posting of the charter of uk.games.video.xbox. Please
direct any enquiries to the newsgroup.

===============================================

Charter of uk.games.video.xbox (Not Moderated)

This group is for the discussion of the Microsoft Xbox and its games and
peripherals. Links to UK focused web sites relating to the XBox are
welcome, but should not be repeated more than once a month.

Reviews, hints, tips and cheats are welcome, however spoilers should be
protected with spoiler space of between 20 and 25 lines. Long reviews or
solutions (100 lines or more) should be placed on a web page, and its
URL posted.

Discussions related to piracy are strongly discouraged as they tend to
quickly become inflammatory and should be avoided.

Cross-Posting
-------------

Cross-posting in general is discouraged. Cross-posting to newsgroups
outside of the uk.games.video.* hierarchy is strongly discouraged as it
may invite postings which do not conform to this charter.

Advertising
-----------

Advertising is forbidden, with these exceptions:

Suppliers of goods and services relevant to the Microsoft XBox in the UK
may post an invitation to visit their web site or request details. No
more than 1 post per organisation/person per month and post headers MUST
be marked "FA: " (For Auction) or "FS: " (For Sale). Such adverts should
be limited to 5 lines in length.

Binaries & Formatting
---------------------

Encoded binaries (e.g. pictures, compressed files, etc.) are forbidden.
Such material belongs on a web or FTP site to which a pointer may be
posted. Cryptographic signatures (e.g. PGP) may be used where
authentication is important and should be as short as possible.

Posts must be readable as plain text. HTML, RTF and similarly formatted
messages are prohibited. To see how to make some common newsreaders
comply with this, read <http://www.usenet.org.uk/ukpost.html>.

Warning
-------

Anyone posting contrary to this charter may be reported to their
"postmaster" and/or Service Provider.
