12 alt.magick: Shouldn't there be limits to what people can post here?
There has been movement, off and on over the years, to work
toward some sort of moderated alt.magick.* forum, but this
has never been successfully carried out. The newsgroup was
created (alt.magick.moderated), but the contribution address has
not consistently functioned for throughput.
There are many subgroups of alt.magick to which specific
types of discussion should be taken if you wish to cooperate
with newsgroup regulars. Here are a few of the discussion-
oriented newsgroups to get you started:
alt.magick.ethics (philosophia:ethics)
alt.magick.folk (primitivas)
alt.magick.goetia (daemonos)
alt.magick.order (politicos)
alt.magick.tantra (eros/tantra)
alt.magick.tyagi (synthesia)
There is a comprehensive list of posting suggestions in the
document called 'alt.magick RULES'. These are quotes from
usenet authorities regarding posting content and may be
found at this location:

In terms of limiting the *substance* or *topic*, some
copyrighted files have been under intense heat from occult
organizations to keep them from being posted to the newsgroup.
There is often a great outcry anytime someone posts a ritual
or suggestion which conflicts with the morality or maturity
level of participants, yet as alt.magick is not moderated,
complaints and savvy folks who know how to cancel posted
messages will be able to keep a single post from being seen,
discussion of it carrying over into one of the sub-forums
at most.
In short, there are no technical limitations, but there are
some factions (participants, occult groups) who have a very
sincere interest in affecting what is posted.
