CHARTER: rec.autos.sport.f1.moderated

Note: This Charter is intended to be read in conjunction with the
Moderation Policy which is appended.

(a)  Rationale

     The goal of rec.autos.sport.f1.moderated (hereafter RASF1M) is
     to provide a forum for the discussion of Formula One racing.  It
     differs from the existing English language newsgroups for F1
     (eg: rec.autos.sport.f1) in that it is moderated: the intention
     of this is to retain the opportunities for discussing Formula
     One currently found in other groups while preventing the spam,
     commercial posts, abuse directed towards F1 personalities and
     teams, participant abuse and postings completely unrelated to F1
     racing which can also be found there.

     The guiding principle for all moderators will be to interfere as
     little as possible with the discussions, whilst maintaining
     adherence to the Charter and Policy.

(b)  On- and off-charter postings

     This group exists to provide opportunities for discussion about
     Formula One. This can be assumed to cover topics such as races,
     results, drivers, teams, circuits, trips to races, gossip,
     rumours, sponsorship, reports of comments made by F1 personnel,
     careers of former F1 drivers, news items, rules, safety and
     upcoming events involving F1 personnel.

     It would be inappropriate and indeed impossible for a newsgroup
     charter to give an exhaustive list of what is and isn’t
     acceptable.  However, postings which have no connection at all
     to Formula One are unlikely to qualify.  The final arbiter of
     this will be the moderators, working within the guidelines of
     the Policy as appended.

     Any submission which is relevant, civil and not in violation of
     the moderation policy will be accepted for posting.

(c)  Moderation Policy

     This is appended to the Charter and is divided into three
     sections:

     1.  Restrictions on Articles
     2.  Moderators’ Role
     3.  General Administration
