Subject: blackballed on gmane
Date: Mon, 21 Apr 2014 18:50:05 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87sip6z49u.fsf@newsguy.com> (raw)
I have a project involving some 35-40 thousand msg off
gmane. Eventhough its happened to me before... I just didn't think
that would be enough... after reading the message at:
http://gmane.org/denied.php (The page to check for denial)
I got the impression it would take a good bit more than that:
It says in part:
,----
| Actions that may lead to denial include:
|
| Really excessive downloading of articles. I mean, really.
| Address-harvesting-like behavior. (Selecting many, many groups,
| reading few articles.) Feeding articles onto Usenet.
|
| It takes a lot to trigger a denial. Nobody who uses Gmane with a
| normal news reader can cause a denial.
`----
That page does show my outward facing IP
And now I've posted about it in 3 differnt groups.... sorry if it
seems I'm flayling a bit... but the mighty gmane that Lars and many
others set up some years ago has become a very integral part of my
news reading for some yrs now.
Gmane has become a legendary undertaking... maybe quite a bit more
than Lars and friends envisioned at first. I do hope they can keep it
going for years to come.
But back to my denial.
I hope someone notices my posts today sometime.
