How to complain: (thanks to Rob Oldfield for the initial Earthlink-version
of this section)
This is best done to the ISP of the person you are complaining about -
in $teve’s case this has been Earthlink for a long time.
==> In August 2007 he changed to SuperNews. We guess he has been 'kicked out' by Earthlink ??
==> In June 2008 he changed to GigaNews. We guess he has been 'kicked out' by SuperNews as well ??
Let us kick him OUT again... Please help !! Complain to his ISP
Basically you need to put together your facts to show that he is breaking their acceptable use policy (AUP).
That policy can be found here: http://www.giganews.com/legal/aup.html.
There are a few sections in there that $teve could reasonably be accused of
breaching, for example:
At Giganews, we would like every member to have
the best experience possible with the newsgroups. We do not, however, wish that
to be at the expense of others. The newsgroups are comprised of people from
diverse backgrounds. When communicating with people on the newsgroups, it is
best to keep in mind that there are many other people that read what you post.
Please consider the views and feelings of everyone who might read your posts
and give them the same consideration and respect as you would like to receive
yourself.
Repetitive Posting
Posting the same thing repeatedly in one or more
newsgroups will usually be considered spam, regardless of the content.
Promotional Posts
Promoting a business, a website, or an
organization will usually be considered as spam, in nearly every
newsgroup. This can even include inviting visitors to a 'personal',
'public service', or charitable website.
If you are using the web - AccessMonster or Google for example - to view
newsgroup messages, then it may not be possible to include the headers
But remember:
-- Most ISPs will be unable to do anything without the full headers.
-- Most ISPs will ignore any email complaint which includes the offending post
as an attachment.
==>> So please send the
headers AND the complaint(s) in line. (NO attachments please!)
