If you advertise on here what is anyone going to do bout it, it's
not moderated its a News Group and if they bone all it will do is
give you more free publicity, so whats the boat like and how much do
you want for it, I won't be buying I'm just being nosy.

This is bad advice in general as most ISP's will have something in
their terms and conditions to prevent newsgroup abuse, and most
newsgroups now have a 'charter' on what is acceptable to post in that
group, so someone posting against that charter could be reported to
their ISP for breaking the T&C's.
However, the charter of this group states:-
"Advertising will not be allowed, however if an individual wishes to
trade an item of interest to the group, they can post to this effect"
which to me reads that it is acceptable for an individual to
advertise a boat related item for sale on here, or even a boat, but
it is not acceptable for any business to advertise on here, or to use
this group to promote items for sale on auction sites like eBay, even
if they are boat related items, or boats.


The "charter" which you have quoted clearly allows an item of interest
to be traded via the group.
Why do you suggest that allowing the advertising of this boat here is
bad advice ?

If you read the first line I wrote, it states:-
"This is bad advice in general", meaning if followed in other newsgroups
it might not be acceptable, you stated "it's not
moderated its a News Group" as if all newsgroups were the same, which
they are not.
It then goes on to say:-
However, the charter of this group states:-
And clearly gives my interpretation of the charter for this group, and
which I wrote
<Quote>which to me reads that it is acceptable for an individual to
advertise a boat related item for sale on here, or even a boat,</Quote>
So I quite clearly did not state that advertising a boat here is bad
advice, just the general advice you gave that implied it was OK to
advertise because "it's not moderated its a News Group"
