I keep getting banned for apparently no reason. Our last contact
resulted in a reference to the actual banlist which didn't help me at
all.

This is a recurring problem lately, and I have been using your service
for quite a long time.

Have you considered using a real NSP?

Do you think AIOE is my only one? What would make you assume such a
thing?

What does "mass abuse" actually mean? If it's based on content who
gets to decide what that abuse is? This is much like punishing the
entire classroom just because a few kids are acting up. Let's punish
those few kids rather than everyone.

You have to admit though, the mechanism has "laser precision".

If the kid makes up fake names on his postings, he's not
getting in. He can even fake the whole header if he
wants or use a VPN, he's still not getting in.

OK, now write a filter script that works that good...

It really is a good method.

The newsgroup has a limit of how many newsgroups are posted to. For
example, you can't cross-post to more than two test newsgroups such as:

* aioe.test
* alt.comp.test
* alt.test
* microsoft.public.test.here

This limit needs to be increased so that test newsgroups can be posted
to without let or hindrance. Giuseppe Conte would be proud of Paulo if
he does this as a matter or urgency. Also, the restriction of HTML on
most newsgroups should also be removed as we are in the 21st century and
the technology is evolving very fast at the speed of thought.
