Q:
Why are there articles missing in
the binaries newsgroups?
A:
This can happen for
several reasons. The most likely is that some of the articles
(or parts of articles) were filtered out as spam before they
reached our servers. We do not filter any incoming articles on
our binaries servers, everything we receive from our upstream is
posted. Many news servers limit the maximum article size and if
any articles are in excess of that size the server will cancel
it automatically and it will not propagate out. Also, all news
servers have the right to filter out anything that passes
through their server. Keep in mind that usenet was designed to
carry only plain text, not large binary files. Processing binary
articles places twice as much strain on the server as plain text
articles do. For these reasons no guarantee regarding
completeness of binary articles is expressed or implied by
the-newsfeed.com.

Q:
Some articles that I post from
the-newsfeed.com
do not seem to propagate to other news servers, why?
A:
Another news
server may be canceling them . We can take no further
responsibility for articles not propagating once they have been
sent to our upstream servers. Another reason could be if you
have a record of abuse on our servers your posting access may
have been disabled. Once your posting access has been disabled
due to posting abuse it will never be restored, so don't even
ask. Nor will we issue refunds for this reason.

Q:
I'm getting an AUTHENTICATION FAILED
message
A:
First, check that you
entered the correct username and password. If you forgot your
username and/or password, email
webmaster@the-newsfeed.com
about your problem and we
shall resend your username and password to your registered
email. Unfortunately, we cannot send this info to a different
email because there is no way for us to authenticate your
request.
If you are sure about your username and
password, then the error may be because your account exceeded
the allowed number of simultaneous logins. Also, some Usenet
browsers do not disconnect cleanly, in which case you may have
to wait a few minutes before your account is cleared.
If you still need help, contact
webmaster@the-newsfeed.com.

Q:
Whats
your spam policy
A:
All
incidents must be reported to
webmaster@the-newsfeed.com.
All reports will be taken in account seriously. In the past our
service was known for spamming activities. This has changed now
due to the read-pay-write system we have now. Spam is simply not
allowed. Crossposts are, but not too many groups. Please take in
mind netiquette when posting. Please refer to our
Terms and Conditions before
subscribing.
Back to Top
Q:
How about crossposts
A:
They are
allowed but not any more than about 6 or 7 groups at once. It's
filtered outside our server anyway so it isn't of use also.
Please take notice of netiquette. Any accounts ignoring normal
netiquette will be disabled.

Q:
Is there a download limit?
