No, that's not what I mean.  What I said was that his behavior *would be*
a violation *if* done from Supernews.  The relevance is that this won't
make us inclined to want him posting from our system.

See, right there... they decide who gets to post from their system based
upon the attitude of the poster. Not what he posts, but how submissive he
is to their wishes, their made up "policies". If they like his "behavior".
If they like his haircut, for christ sake.

Jeremy is blocking "Mike" because he does not like "Mike's" behavior.

Not because "Mike" posted spam, it is because his "behavior" was not up to
Jeremy's standards.

Who is next? What will be the reason you don't measure up to the "behavior
standards"?




QUOTE
Jeremy, if you don't want people to draw conclusions from
your words, you should be careful with them. You suggest and
imply too much. This time you point Mike out as a newsgroup
disrupter, but isn't this group full of them? Zimphire posts
from Supernews too, who draws the line and where I wonder.

I prefer to draw the line well away from the gray area, erring on the
side of leniency.  But in practice I'm happy to leave that stuff up
to the abuse department.

Now Supernews calls people liars when their own (Supernews) actions and
words come back to bite them.

Supernews is not the first NSP to block people who have spammed a website
in a sig.


First or last, makes no difference. It is a made up rule to fit the

Thank you for being so professionally polite to someone you
don't know from another country as well.

You suggested, implied, several times up until right now,
that the fake spam posts are connected to Mike. Others here
say Supernews blocks for urls in posts too, they say it is
well known Supernews does it if you post a lot.

I'm not a liar but it's strange to know Supernews will call
people that based on reactions on what Supernews writes
itself.

I have never understood why other NSPs didn't try and take a "harder

advertisement for a service in the same line of business.

Well, "stupid and annoying" doesn't make a good argument for it being spam;
and none of us is in the habit of blocking stuff about competitors.  Heck,
we'd have to block most of this newsgroup. :)

lol Currently, that doesn't strike me as such a bad idea.

QUOTE
What's strange about this is what Mike hopes to achieve. Aside from
the futility of complaining in newsgroups about being blocked/TOS'd
from an NSP, apparently he has a commercial company.

So, leaving aside any issues about spamming, I am wondering just why
he thinks anybody would use the services of someone who has behaved in
such an extreme, irrational and unprofessional manner as he has done
here.

I've no idea.  Had he complained in a reasonable and mature manner, the
whole thing would have gone very differently.

Whatever the case initially, it's clear he's now totally uninterested
in whatever he's complaining about, and just wants to post as much
crap as he can - probably until his new NSP cuts him off.

AFAIK private companies are free to choose whatever policies they

Or you can make those "policies" public and let the chips fall where they

It doesn't bother me, even the relatively few posts I have read,

However, I'm sure it would bother me if I was a customer of yours and

In fairness to Supernews, I must concede they indeed did acknowledge this
was a filter error, and corrected it. Hopefully you corrected it fully.
IIRC, the issue was the filter was not a specific one aimed as Sucknews, but
instead was dinging all posts including a URL with "suck" anywhere in it.
Such a filter is *way* overbroad, considering the number of innocent URLs it
could ding. Although, if someone ever puts up a hate site about me using the
domain name rfgdxmsucks.com, I might not mind too much if the filter caught
any post with a link to a URL on that domain. ;)

If it's not Mike using his address, those are out and out forgeries
and Mike has grounds to ask for the people doing this to be terminated
by their ISPs or NSPs.

If Mike choses not to do this, and if the posting host is astraweb and

then I'm inclined to believe that Mike lies like a spammer.

;)

Unlike that one, yes.  You'll notice the difference in reaction -- that
one was immediately fixed, with apology. :)

So I'll try saying the same thing yet again: those posts were *not* the
reason he was blocked, and at no point did I ever claim that they were.

If you can't understand that after my having said it over and over, then,
whatever, carry on.

So you brought them up to create your own straw man. How cute.

Then you go about crying how others bring up straw men and should not.

Also MH's statement about 'world wide' NSP access being flat doesn't
stand up. I would bet good money that by far the larger majority of
his, or any US service are US or canada based. So unless they have
huge 24 * 7 suck feeds, leaving not much for anyone else - which he
denies,  thats by far peak usage during US peak times. What are we
talking about - mabe 20 - 25% outside the US, and with the US having a
much larger portion of unmetered, unlimited broadband ISP connections,
the 'rest of the world' must be a relatively small proportion of
usage. The US may have a range of time zones, but not as much as the
whole rest of the world put together.



Mike has stated many times before that 60% of his customers are from
outside of the US. You are speaking *Not*  from a hole in the ground
right now. You are talking about matters that you have no knowledge
of.

Artist Mike has some nice graphics tutorials on his site. I tried to
point someone to one and that's how I discovered Supernews had blocked
not only Mike from posting it, but EVERY other Supernews customer.

Oh, I would never think that Nicky Scala would stoop so low as to spam
using my email and to post from Astraweb.

For shame...to even suggest such a thing.

He only posted and faked every person in that newsgroup for months on end
and finally lost his account.

But he would never spoof me!

Rebecca,

Of course, I checked using Google. Mike is controversial,
but he doesn't spam and didn't nym from Supernews. A little
fun is ok, but so is some fairness about the issue don't you
think?

How do you define spam?  If someone posts in such a way as to merely
get the url out there, without substance to the posts, then that *is*
spamming.  That is what I saw when I googled ArtistMike's url.  He
even claimed some of the posts as legitimate.

You, sir, are not well informed, or are a moron, or are a spammer
apologist, or a spammer (I remember getting some Euro spammer's plug
pulled, and one of my friends cancelled a whole boatload of YucomBe or
something like that's spam.

Or you're a nutbar.


If you can't rebut the issue, discredit the participant.

How cute, Rebecca. No wonder you are not a news host any longer.

I agree, there are many trolls and flamers and lamers active
in this group.. some from Supernews. Also many impostering

Supernews. None of them are blocked. Makes me wonder why he
really was blocked and how often this happens to people who
did not speak up.


You may not know the definition of spam.  ArtistMike always had the
option of complaining if people were forging him...

Complain to whom? Supernews? hahahahaha.

Plus, I believe in people being able to write whatever they wish in
newsgroups so I am not about to cry to a news host about someone spoofing
me.

I take it to the newsgroup and have it out with them there. I support FREE

No, actually, that is precisely why the definition of spam accepted by
most ISPs and as defined in Tim Skirvin's FAQ talks about
substantively the same posts. You are spamming if the posts are made
*only* to get hits to your site.

Those posts *were* spam by that definition.

There's a guy posting with a commercial url in his sig in the tea
beverage group. One person has been hounding him for it, but his
posts tend to be informative and don't just point people to his
commerical site for answers. Most of the people in the group find him
to be a useful contributor. If you were a useful contributor to the
groups, i.e., if you weren't just posting to get people to your site,
then you'd have defenders from the groups in question.

You don't appear to have any defenders other than Uni from those
groups.

Basically, you've confessed to making posts that I consider spam and

server (Uni) see if the post showed up. If the post didn't show up,
then you could work with your ISP and with Supernews to find out what
happened.

If you were being filtered, you could have discussed it with Supernews
and your ISP. If you were being forged, you could file abuse reports
with the forgers' ISP.

Perhaps you're paying them to spam your url? Stranger things have
happened. If you are being joe-jobbed, it's stupid to allow that to
continue because people will question why people are spamming this
url.

If they're spoofing your address, that's one thing. If they're
forging it, that's another thing. We can't tell if you're paying
these people to spam for you or not unless you do something to stop
it.

If it's not Mike using his address, those are out and out forgeries

by their ISPs or NSPs.

I believe this was explained to you. URLs in sigs are okay as long as
the post isn't make simply to get the url in front of the readers.

If you're stupid, there's nothing further than could be done to help
you.

If you wanted to fix the problem with Supernews, the way to do that
was to work with your ISP and Supernews. If Supernews abuse advised
you to not do something, then you had two choices. Not do that, or
get another NSP account.

Supernews and your ISP have a contract. I doubt that the contract
allows you to post just anything you want.

Spammers lie. Spammers are stupid.
